period talk
Also, period panties are great. I love not having to throw out pads and tampons, and just wash some undies. Much nicer, more comfy, feels less like wearing a diaper.I really really like the U brand undies, and the Bonds undies. I also have another two pairs from an "indie brand" when they first became popular, but they're made with like, pure polyester/plastic for the butt and fupa parts, which makes it very uncomfy and hot. Bonds and U use a blend I believe, which is more breathable and more akin to a nice fabric than plastic.
As someone with some sensory issues and trauma, not having to wear diaper pads (lol) is a lifesaver. I feel less angry about my period in general.
Plus, since I stopped the birth control pills, my period has fallen on this week, instead of on the week of Xmas, like for the last 3 years lol
I love my bonds period undies. My skin never coped well with pads and I struggle with tampons too. I've tried the kmart period undies and they're okay for the price, but I'm not trusting them on some days!
Oh yeah some days I still use a super pad, especially overnight (the U overnights, that are super long, work a treat). And same with the skin thing, having the skin rubbed all ways to Sunday by synthetic pad material makes for a very uncomfortable time, when it already is an uncomfortable time lol!
Some brands are just a bit too... Flimsy, poorly made, or not absorbent enough for use. Maybe okay for the end of a period, or spotting, but not days 2 - 4 😂
Hearing ya!
Just commenting here so I can come back to the discussion for future reference. As a menopausal woman with a nearly pubescent girl child, I'm having a touch of concern about my ability to ensure her future needs are met in a modern and comfortable way. Will be preemptively purchasing period undies at some point.
Bonds or U if you can! They're the most comfy! Sometimes they go on sale at woolies too, which is where I've bought all mine
Thankyou 🙏🏼
Bonds have some good online sales too.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
