Panty liners

[Iambaboon]

always every day. To keep you feeling fresh all day.

So our normal, everyday, natural secretions necessitate these panty liners

Yet men, who I know regularly have piss splashes and spots over the front of their pants, they don't need some chemically, plasticy thing to keep them clean and fresh?

AIBU to think there's an imbalance here?

YABU to know some very weird men

Some people need panty liners for all sorts of reasons.

Panty liners are gross. I'm currently wearing one under sufferance, to get the last of the lochia. Otherwise my pants catch what they need to and I change them frequently, like boys do.

Totally agree.

YABU. Some women have more discharge so prefer to use them to feel fresher.

Maybe you should make friends with some more hygienic men.

I only use PL when I have a cough and realise my pelvic floor isn't what it used to be. Vair useful they are in that instance. Otherwise, not at all

Worra, not just men I know. A recent mn thread revealed few partners of nmers wipe after weeing. A shake is not enough, I know they get wee spots on their pants. It stands to reason

YANBU.

Women. No matter what time of the month it is: you need a nappy for your dirty leaking faff.

Yet men, who I know regularly have piss splashes and spots over the front of their pants

Ohhh, I took that to mean 'men you know'

I had this vision of your lining them all up and inspecting their piss stained pants

Cough - piss self. That's why I need 'em, so YABU.

:o Worra

They're very useful if you have thrush or other stinky discharge disorder but the rest of the time they're not very useful. Unless you only have 1 pair of pants and need to maximise usage.

They make no sense to me.

You put on your knickers and put a pantyliner in, then at the end of the day you take off the pantyliner and chuck your knickers in the washing basket.

Why??? Your knickers are going to be washed anyway, why do you need to protect them?

You know what annoys me? Signs in ladies loos telling you where to put your 'dressings'. Yeah, dressings. For your perpetual wound, I suppose.

Aberdeen, at some points in the month I have a heavier discharge and need to change my liner several times a day. Can't really carry round several pairs of knickers.

There is also the matter of seepage

I've just had this very same conversation with 2 teenage DDs (please not the time, they didn't get up till sodding lunchtime and now won'tgo to sodding bed).

What the bloody hell is the point of a 12 hour panty liner?

surely if after 8, 9 or 10 hours your pnts are a bit whiffy just change them?

YANBU - I have never understood the concept, unless you're incontinent.

The cynic in me thinks that it is just a ploy to get more money out of women by feeding us the message that unless we wear a bit of expensive tissue in our pants and change it 5 times a day we are somehow less than fresh. I shower at least once a day, and change my knicks at least once a day- that'll do, in my book!

It's not panty liners per se I have a problem with, I'm sure they have a place, but where's the male equivalent

Are we to believe mens pants stay fresh and clean all day without the help of something expensive and disposable in them

And tena men hmmm? Where's the adverts with chaos of a certain age, on the golf course, being chummy and wearing incontinence pants? They make them for men I've seen them but I've not seen an advertisement for them

All very interesting.

But I'm going to stop reading now.

Chaps of a certain age

And some extra ????'s

My periods are very light so I use them for that. I can't use tampons so I find them very useful!

Ok ok, they're useful but what about the men?

I'm going on dragons den

I shall call it the manty liner

the manty liner

Lol @ manty liner

I'm quite sure if there was a big market for similar men's products, David Beckham would be advertising them by now...trying to make piss soaking look sexy.

YANBU. Never worn as many panty liners as I have in pregnancy - they're horrible things. I 'lost' one in a coffee shop last week & found it by the door

I know plenty of men who shake post wee & are not adverse to re-wearing pants for a day or two. Defo a gap in the market there.

It's a bit like bra-wearing: how much you choose to buy and use the product is influenced by your own particular anatomy. Some days, some months, some circumstances, it's a bit more comfortable to use a panty liner than have your damp gusset chafing your flaps.

stripey you're lucky a loud and helpful toddler didn't pick it up and shout "Scuuuse meeeeee"
