To think that sanitary towels should not be scented!

[bumbleymummy]

What were Always thinking? They were the only brand in the shop and they smell vile! Why? Why would anyone choose this?

There descriptions of scented pads are making me rather glad that I've changed to mooncup and washable pads since my periods have returned since children. It's about 3 years since I bought disposables, and 5 years getting them frequently.

I don't know if my periods have changed and become lighter, but they certainly feel that way. They're considerably more comfortable, no drying, itching or sweating, particularly in this heat.

I have to say I am interested in a menstrual cup and reusable pads. I found a website for the pads, but no idea about cups. It may help with the incontinence as it's mostly my bladder that had fallen out of place. I'm due to have a mesh repair on my bladder and then a band around the neck to pretty much do what a cup would do.

I just hate how the towel packaging rustles on opening ..... It should be a silent action!!!

Fan, you can get a mooncup in boots ????

" It should be a silent action"

Why?

I want glittery sanitary towels :(

I quite like them.

I've got some mooncups in the post (double set, pink and purple), some cloth pads (dark purple and black) and some cloth wipes for the bathroom. I shall see how this goes, it will mean a lot less waste and hopefully be good for my health, unlike the stuff I use now.

It's not glittery though SoleSource

I'm now a bit baffled by the concept of someone never using STs but always tampons. Surely you can't use tampons right at the beginning and end while you've got virtually no flow? Or do you just boil wash your knickers? I guess it's yet another way we're all different.

But to return to the topic at hand:. "Oi! Always! Bring back pong-free, wing-free towels!"

Glitter gets everywhere as it is. I'd quite like a sanitary towel that sang Happy Birthday upon opening, just to counteract all the fucking annoying adverts that try to make women think menstruating is some dreadful secret.

I tried really hard with moon cup even folding it up was tough least size of 3-4 tampons to get it in. Then either you pull out the open cup which bloody hurts or try squash it up then the blood gets everywhere! Not lke you can clean up covered hand with bit of tissue till get to sink in public loo is it. Unless mine was missing the how to use painlessly and mess free I'm afraid mine is redudant.

Oh saw advert other day for always new pads girl was wearing a white jumpsuit and getting a piggyback from her friend at the same time... I mean COME ON!

I just looked up the sizing for mooncups. They appear to think something odd happens to your vagina at the age of 30 which means you automatically need a different size.

YANBU!!

Gabilan I love the idea of singing pads. Happy bleeding to you, happy bleeding to you... now if they could also be scented (I'll accept though not require glitter)

Glitter sounds like it would be scratchy. That's a no thanks from me. Soft as kitten fur (without any moulting), on the other hand...

I guess the idea is to smother lady-smells. I don't think my fresh lady-smells are too bad. I hate having to stand in Tesco's (can't bring myself to do it in Waitrose) sniffing boxes of panty-liners. These horrid whiffs make my knickers and trousers stink enough to make me gag and I worry people think its me whiffing like an incontinent old lady; I'm all for smell absorbing, but worry artificial perfumes will give me thrush or cystitis.

Sorry for insulting anyone with incontinence and i am aware you don't smell

A genius wheeze! It's not like during your period your sense of smell goes through the roof or anything! Who, me? Nearly gagged after catching the tail end of whiff from a piece of camembert in the fridge? Had to move seats in the library because I could smell the garlic oozing from THE PORES of the fucker next to me? Never. Bring on the flowery scented vag towels.

So I've had issues with the towels myself.

They smell chemicl and don't just irritate but have a weird burn internal sensation. They seem to use chemicals ass strong as ziflora or something, they're that strong.

I recommend using the strong one, seeing how it feels for a bit and see if there's a reaction. That shouldn't be sold let alone anywhere near a females body, it's terrible.
