AIBU... to ask you about what you use for your period? Desperate!

Really close to running out of my stash of Always silk collection unscented pads.

Seems it's now discontinued and everything is scented! WTF has everyone else started using now, instead? :(

I'm lucky to have a pretty light flow, but still need a proper pad rather than a panty liner. Struggling to find anything for normal flow, without wings, unscented.

I really don't want to make the same mistake - I bought a scented pack (it was marked unscented... but odor neutralising... very misleading... I don't trust any of these pads marked "odor neutralising" now...) and had to throw it out straight away, the smell was sick. I know that sounds dramatic, but the smell was... something else.

morrisons own brand arent scented

Bodywork or supermarket own brand. Scented gives me an itchy fanny!

Diva cup and cloth panty liners
So much less hassle

Moon cup as a pp said it's a game changer!

Echo others to say Sainsbury's or Waitrose own brand are definitely not scented. Scented pads are awful beyond words - I can honestly say I have never smelt menstrual blood on another woman, but I can definitely smell the pads!! The whole aisle in the supermarket smells too. I think they are horrible.

Mooncup or tampons if I'm out and about without access to the necessary loo with adjacent sink. Hate that wearing a nappy feeling. Mooncup is one of the many pearls of wisdom I have gleaned from mumsnet.

Another one for Cheeky Mama washable from Cheeky Wipes. And they're pretty! I have one with penguins on.

Their washable wet wipes have saved me a fortune too!

I use sea sponge and washable pads. I've never looked back! Literally changed my life. Amazing!

Always infinity! Cannot beat them!

Bodyform here too. It took me a while to figure out why I was suddenly hating Always after using them for 2 decades evil scented things

I'm like a horror movie each month and not had any disasters so sticking with them now.

I feel like I'm missing something as so many posters have suggested a mooncup...

I tried Bodyform but felt they were too thick so using Morrisons own brand now.

I can't use tampons or mooncup. I have a prolapse and they are incredibly uncomfortable. The op might be similar (for all those suggesting those options)

Cheap asda pads are unscented. :)

I have a prolapse and can just about cope sometimes with the smallest plastic applicator tampax.

I've been warned away from moon cups with a mirena (the suction...)

soft sponge tampons, will never use regular tampons or pads again after reading what they do to your body!

I like Boots Cottons the best but not every branch stocks them.

I like bodyform but was thinking of switching to Tesco own brand as that's where I get my shopping anyway.

I tried the mooncup. Really wanted to like it, but just didn't get on with it. After having kids I have been 'rearranged' so much down there that I just couldn't get the mooncup in the right place. Tried using tampons when on holiday recently so I cold swim (first time in about 15 years) and I had the worst menstrual cramps ever. So back to towels. I use bodyform too or florette (think I picked those up in Aldi. They are slim and unscented).

I use a mooncup. Have had it for about 10 years. Bargain.

Early pre menopause lol - I've only had 5 periods in 2 years! I used to use Bodyform I think. I hate those bloody (pun intended) scented things with wings.

I have never heard of soft sponge tampons. I wonder if they would work if I have had problems with the mooncup and tampons?

Tesco own or lilets pads.

Those who use mooncup, do you have any tips on fitting it? I have a fleurcup and tried it for the first time this month, loved it in principle but had a few leaks. I tried both sizes but realistically after 2 kids I must need the large

Babymamamama I am another mumsnet induced menstral cup convert. Had never heard of them before reading about them on here.

Always infinity are unscented
