Ok ladies... Let's talk panties lol.

I am honestly sick and tired of tampons and pads. 🤣🤣 When wearing a pad I feel like it's moving and I'm getting my underwear messy. When I wear tampons if it's not in correctly it's horrible, if I'm not bleeding enough it feels horrible or when I'm not in the mood it feels horrible. And both make me feel icky so I've been thinking of trying period panties. What's everyone's thoughts on this one? And then if you do use them . TELL ME HOW THEY WORK! LOL Do I wear one all day or do I need to change it a couple times. What do y'all do? 🫣😄😜

I wear them with pads. The pad does the heavy lifting, then the period underwear gives me extra security in case of leaks.

I started using period knickers during Covid and have never looked back. I love them!

I change them 2/3 times a day and rinse them off straight away in the sink and in the nightly wash.

Even on my heaviest days, I’ve never leaked. I used to soak through pads and get blood on the bed, no more!

I wear a cup, worth considering if you haven't. It's so easy to use and imo much more comfortable than tampons. But I don't like having blood out sitting on my skin on the outside.

the diaper 🤣 LIFE CHANGING!

always had the fear of toxic shock syndrome so I never did the tampon, not mature enough for the cup so pad it is

They are the absolute best imo! I wear them without a pad but I change them throughout the day. If I don't want them faff of changing I wear them with a reusable pad which I will then change and atat some point throughout the day I will remove it and use just the pant.

I have leaked but it has mainly been overnight when I wasn't expecting to have such a heavy flow.

I wear period panties and use a menstrual cup for my heavy days. Pads and tampons make me very irritated down there since switching I have had no issues! Also if you have an FSA account you can use it to buy them!

I have worn them to bed but it would leak during the day on its own

For heavy days I do a cup and reusable pad (fabric). On light days I do period underwear. I find mine don't hold too much but I know different brands have different absorbency. Normal pads give me rashes and I don't like tampons.

I’m wearing them now lol I’ve always had super heavy periods so would always wear them with a cup. Now that I have an iud and my period has been lighter I’ll wear them alone. In my like 8 years of wearing them I’ve only had once they’ve leaked

Avatar

I’ve used them a handful of times. They are bulky. I can like feel and smell the blood. I prefer a cup. Once you get the hang of putting it in and out, it’s waaaay more comfortable and so nice to just change in the morning and before bed

I love them. There were a few occasions I had a very heavy flow, and it soaked through. Those were times I was outside and had it on a little longer than I'd planned, though. Honestly, I am so grateful for them.
I clean them out in the shower with me, then throw it in the washing machine. Definitely recommend.

I have the cup, period undies, and cloth pads but I haven’t bought any period products since COVID- that was when I switched, I didn’t wanna fight some old lady over pads lol so I jumped on the reusable train way back then. I use a heavy flow overnight one for overnight. In the morning I to a moderate flow and I’ll change that in the arvo, then put my heavy flow at night again. I throw them on my shower floor and just stomp on them and let the shower water run through until clear, then I’ll wring them and throw them into my laundry pile. They’re always there- I never run out. I use cup when I go out at night or beach or swimming on my period that’s like a “backup” mostly I use my period undies.

I’ve been using the menstrual disc and don’t plan to go back to pads or tampons.

How long did it take for you to get pregnant after coming off the pill?

Me and my partner have decided to start trying again for a sibling for our little boy, we know it’s not going to happen instantly but how long did it take you?

No sex during pregnancy

I’m 12 weeks pregnant and horny as hell 😭 My baby’s father and I broke up, but I don’t want to sleep with anyone else while I’m pregnant. It just doesn’t feel right for me, especially when I’m not in a relationship with them.

Part of me wants to reach out to my baby’s father just for sex, but I’m worried that would pull me back into something emotionally messy. I also heard that going without sex during pregnancy could make you more likely to tear during labor. Is that even true?

Has anyone else been in this position? What did you do?

GBS POSITIVE

Tested positive for gbs, did anyone decide to decline the antibiotics? What was your experience after delivery? How long did they have you stay?

Cheating

My husband has been cheating on me . I’m scheduled to have our baby tomorrow. What’s wrong with guys specifically the guy I married? Why does he hold insurance money over my head when I say I’m going to leave. Why does the threaten me with committing suicide? Why am I not enough ?
