My teen uses them. On a school day she’ll start off with a pad in the period pants. Sometime during the day she’ll dispose of the pad and just use the period pants for the rest of the day. It works for her and it’s easy for her to manage her period this way.

This would be ideal for my daughter. thank you! Can I ask where you got yours from please?

I'd recommend trying them out on a weekend or holiday day so she can feel confident. If you're going to use a pad as ell, there's not much point.

I love mine but wouldn’t wear them outside the house for more than an hour or 2.

They can start to smell a bit and if she needs to change them she will have to carry the used ones around.

mine has got on fine with the Primark ones and some from M&S. I haven't quite nerved myself to try them as they weren't a "thing" back in the olden days. She much prefers them especially on days she has sport to using towels (not ready for tampons).

For extra absorption I think it would be best to add a pad to them.
