Sainsbury's is selling Period Knickers!

I'm past that stage of my life but I thought I'd post this for those who haven't.... apologies if this isn't news!

Ooh, that's interesting. Will be having a look at those.

That’s really amazing.... has anyone tried them? I was looking at getting some but they’re so expensive . Could afford yjese

Interesting. I can't read the reviews though.

I had a look but still not sure of what they actually do?.

I haven't tried the sainsbury's ones but I recently bought a pair of Modibodi ones and I love them. I've been using reusable pads for 2 years but the knickers are even better. Although as a pp said they're expensive so I'm buying one at a time!
I've tried to read the reviews for these sainsbury's ones but it won't load for me.

I’m actually really tempted to try these!

Pointless you wear them as sanitary protection. Like a pad.

Oh right, so no need for pads or Tampons.
They sound great.

Has anyone actually tried the Sainsbury's ones?

These look amazing. Do they withstand a really heavy flow?

I can easily leak through a heavy flow tampon in a couple of hours on the first day or two. Tried the moon cup and hated it, just irritated the tone of scarring I have left from a birth injury.

Ton*

can you just pop them in the washing machine once you've used them, or do you need to pre-wash them?

Anything that makes reusables is good in my mind. I make reusable pads for dd. She has some Modibodis and I was planning to make some period pants for her. She hates disposables and has never used them - I keep checking she likes them.

The webpage indicates light to medium flow or bladder leakage

So you go about your business all day with blood soaked pants, or change them and carry the soiled ones home in your handbag? I don't see the appeal of this.

@MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1 no idea about the Sainsburys ones but she sticks her used reusables dry in a so-called wet bag (just a zipped bag made of PUL fabric. You then cold rinse them under the tap (to get the worst of the stuff out) just before sticking in a washing machine on a normal wash with a scoop of Oxyclean added to whatever detergent you prefer. Air dry rather than tumble dry.

@pandacrocs I have the modi bodi ones but I only use them at the start and end days of my period. They do make them for heavy periods but I am not brave enough to try.

They look great

@MorrisZapp - a mini travel wet bag and a fresh pad or two or fresh period pants if you prefer.

They’re expensive!
I bought mine from Amazon. Much cheaper!

Thanks.

I have some waka ones, but am looking to get a couple of(cheaper) spares.

Sainsbury's tu clothing 25% off normally conincides with half term, so I will hold out until then.

Try Precious Stars Pads for a budget range of reusable pads. Or makers on Etsy or Folksy for slightly fancier. Obviously slightly pricier too. I make for dd as I say and she loves them. She uses Modibodis too. I will look at these next time.

I've got some for overnight leaks, but what I don't get is how people manage to use them full time unless you have a very light flow? If you're at work for 8 hours , most women will need to change them at some point, in which case you're taking off shoes and trousers etc every time to get a new pair on? Seems a bit hard work and you'd be ages in the loo.

Reusable pads don't require a full clothing change.
