Reusable sanitary towels

Does anyone know if they can be used for urinary leaks instead?
They are much prettier than the specific ones for wee 😁

I've ordered a single one from ebay for £1.22 i think it was to try

I use the Cheeky Mamas and use them when running as a back up. They're great and must have saved a fortune as well as the waste with such regular use over the last 5 years. I only use disposables when doing races as my pelvic floor doesn't often appreciate a tough sprint finish and it means I can remove it after the race before sitting in the car.
Over 10+ miles both types risk a bit of chaffing, there's little difference. I was wondering if period pants might be helpful for that.

A mooncup is good for supporting the pelvic floor to reduce leakage.

I can't see why not.

Some of mine are quite thin, and although thin towels cope with quite heavy period flow, I'd think you need towels designed for very heavy flow to be effective with urine leaks.

Washing and drying is a doddle. Dry overnight on a radiator, so as long you're happy to wash regularly you wouldn't need many. Smells are all contained by a zipped waterproof nappy bag (I know this because the bags can contain days and days worth of soiled nappies with no smells!).

I only need a panty liner for my leaks so i think a thin reusable sanitary towel would be fine

Do they feel 'wet' when you've had a leak, or do they stay dry like disposable ones?
