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?

I suppose if you have very expensive lingerie you might use panty liners to stop the gussets staining (apologies for using the 'g' word - it made me retch - but no alternative). I personally can't be arsed, and surely they're not good for the environment.

Yes lucky escape indeed.

Have reached the stage now where my fanjo is so massive it's literally chewing them up & spitting them out

My secretions eat through my knickers like some kind of digestive juice

I still dont wear pantyliners though, I just buy more knickers, its not like they are expensive.

and what the fuck are these about
like why?

Ooooo but tenna men do exist! I found them last week when searching for maternity pads. I had to take a picture much to my DH disgust, no idea how to link it to my profile though.

Sorry, "tena"

And I don't know how to do a fancy link;

I had never used panty liners or understood the need for them, until I had a coil fitted.

I never understood the point of the black panty liners. Surely it means you cant see what's on them

good god SGB how can you use all of those words in the same hellish sentence 'damp gusset chafing your flaps' . If you use the word 'moist', I'm leaving to scrub out my brain with bleach.

Giving birth and the odd sneeze mean that I always wear a panty liner.

Don't care one way or another, but I'm not doing it as I am ashamed of my bodily functions, its just that damp keks don't do it for me either.

If you have to work in an environment where there's likely to be no loo roll by the end of the day, a couple of panty liners are easier to have in your handbag than a whole bogroll.

And, again, damp keks are grim. And you get nappy rash.

Having literally pmsl'd.... am off to see if I have any tena's stashed anywhere!

they bunch up and catch fuck all as a result - are crap

OR you find has come unstuck and wriggled down your trouser leg/ is stuck to the back of your leg the next morning... hmm

I have monster periods and am liable to flood with no warning, so a pantyliner is all that stands between me and a whole lotta laundry.

Only for a few days a month, mind. I can't imagine wearing them all the time.

Much better to wear a panty liner, then if you get intimate in the evening, you dont have to worry about crusty knickers in front of your man :)

The feminist in me is screaming inwardly at this. So it's all about protecting those poor men from reality seeing any natural secretions... It's all about ensuring you and your garments are attractive 'just in case'.

I use them every day, and I don't have any raging feminist issues about them - I have always had a lot of discharge and prefer not to have wet slimy knickers thanks very much.

Although, if we are going to nit pick, the ones with added "fresh" odour are an abomination. Thrush in a box if you ask me.

Men should just use pull ups, the dirty feckers.

lol yes, it was said tongue in cheek, but id say that reality isnt always best policy when it comes to matters of an intimate nature. Reality might well be crusty skids, but its certainly not something i want my man to be faced with when pulling my smalls down with his teeth.

Mine doesnt have piss stained pants either. He washes his cock under the tap after every piss, partly so i dont have to be faced with reality maybe?

I use them with tampons when I'm on as otherwise I always get blood stains.

Yabu women can have quite heavy discharge and it saves one changing knickers frequently. I don't use them but ddinbych when I had thrush

woollyideas so it's ok for men to see our crusty knickers (boak) as it's natural (it's also smelly) but it's not ok for men to have piss stained kecks? either men and women can both be mucky buggers (and not in a good way) or we both should exercise some personal hygiene surely?

'' Reality might well be crusty skids, but its certainly not something i want my man to be faced with when pulling my smalls down with his teeth''

You'd prefer him to see a panty liner than possibly catch a glimpse of a teeny natural mark on your pants? Surely even seeing a liner would move his mind onto thinking about 'womens stuff'???

No no no to all you saying IABU because you get loads of discharge

I'm not saying they don't have a market, clearly they do. What I'm saying is why aren't men encouraged to line their pants too?

Because apart from the odd drop of wee, blokes tend not to get discharge from their knobs unless they have some kind of infection. Nor do they get stress incontinence from pushing a watermelon out if their nether regions.

I'm sure if they did, they'd be all over panty liners like a rash.

I call biology over misogyny on this one
