AIBU to not wear panty liners every day?

[Sammysees]

Tbh this is a complete new one for me. Was having a conversation with a friend yesterday who wears panty liners every day and has done since she was 15. I’d never heard of this before and told her so. She told me I was a manky minge and that everybody wore them. Is this true? Thoughts please ....

Mrs Hinch definitely Zofloras her flaps.

Coming soon; yet another thread about how some women prefer the company of men for some unaccountable reason.

I'm glad I helped a bit. 40 years
ago we had no internet, no google, and nobody to ask - beyond our parents who I would NEVER have asked anything!

How can you ask your mother about your inner labia chafing in your knickers? You don't. You just assume you are abnormal and not the same as other people and that you have something wrong with you.
My mother never talked to me about my private parts. Which is probably all good and well.

You just live with it until you eventually realise everybody is different.
I so desperately wish that I had been reassured from an early age that my genitalia and its dampness was not an indication that there was anything wrong with me. And to dismiss my worries that I was different to every other girl/woman. I felt different, and I felt that my genitalia was ugly - particularly because I need protection for discharge.

But hey ho. It's not put anybody off thus far!! This thread reinforces what I've already learned.

"Just have a shower every morning and put clean knickers on"

Oh, if only that was the answer!!

I am envious of every woman who can wake up in the morning with a freshly shaved fanjo, get dressed, go to work and spend the whole day in just one pair of cotton pants, and come home as fresh as a daisy, ready to just don a newly laundered pair of pants ready for the evening.
I have news for her.

The sweat and minimal discharge will still exist on her muff,

To get rid of it, you really have to wash it. A pp suggested soap and water, but soap is really bad for your minge.

A pair of cotton pants with triple lined gusset is not enough to soak up normal levels of vaginal discharge.. Unless you have a remarkably dry minge. See. There. I said it.

Goodness me, Nana, are you still going on? I thought you were off to bed. I think you mean "bile" too, not "vile". What an odd little person you are - so much vitriol because you posted something nasty and were called out.

People who wear pantyliners must have a minge from Satan. Just don't get it 😬

WTF? How fucking self-absorbed and up your own arse do you have to be to even come up with that statement.

!!

Nobs on here again.

I used to wear panty liners every day, until a couple of years ago when I finally "dryed up" about 8 years after menopause.

I now feel like a child again and it's just wonderful!

For 45 years I had to put up with stickiness and discharge, I had almost forgotten what it was like not to be constantly leaking mucousy gunk. Now, I not only don't have to worry about periods and don't need to buy tampons, but I finally, (hooray!) don't need to use panty liners any more!

It is such a thrill to be able to wear just my knickers and to know that they will be fine and nothing will leak! I am liberated at last!

Vicious circle! If you wear them everyday your bits become more irritated and susceptible to leakage then you'll need to use them

I've worn them every day for 25 years. I am not susceptible to leakage of urine. Nothing has been irritated. My leakage of female fluid has remained the same for the past 40 years. For the first 15 years I used folded up toilet roll. Panty liners have given me more security. Folded up bog roll is flimsy at best.

I wear them and have done since I was a lot younger. It's a case of need. If you don't need to wear them then don't. I guess some women need them and others don't. If you don't understand why some women need them then you obviously don't have the certain issues that some women need them for. I'm sensing a bit of a holier than thou attitude going off here amongst those that don't use them though. If you don't need or use them fine but don't sit in judgement over those who do.

I don’t wear them because the irritate me. I also feel that it would only be a couple of days of the month I would need them anyway (ovulation time). I do change my pants more than once some days if I feel I need to but usually the one pair is sufficient.

Just a thought though- are all you pantyliner wearers (that don’t have weak bladder issues) clean shaven?

I have done that a few times over the years and did notice an increase in discharge when the hair is all gone. I’m not sure on the science of it all but it’s like my body increases the overall moisture level down there to make up for the lack of protection the hair usually offers. It’s one of the reasons I dislike shaving it all off and stick to trimming.

Wow, 700+ posts about vaginal discharge and pantry liners
I don’t wear them but did during the later stages of pregnancy which I had forgot about until I read this thread.

I am proud of my mucous.

A famous IVF Gynae told me while my legs were akimbo and he was looking into my womb with a view that i had

"The most wonderful cervical mucus ".

I still have that mucus and yes it requires a pantyliner and i dont give a shiny shite if ill informed posters on here think its abnormal.

Crikey, no. I really don't see the point of that.
I've always kept my muff as nature intended.
Short and curly.

Doesn’t make a blind bit of difference if it’s a full 70’s bush or a Brazilian to me. Still need a PL

The most wonderful cervical mucus ". Now, there's a compliment.

Oh dear, 29 pages. Hopefully more women now understand that other women really do need a pantliner and aren't doing it for the fun of it! Well hopefully.....

Two things.

1. Some people have said they dislike the fact that vaginal mucus bleaches pants, so wear liners to avoid bleach marks.

Very few people see my pants, and even fewer would get to see the gusset area. I think partners, close family members and medical staff should be able to cope with knowledge of the normal workings of the female body.

2. The idea that it's fine to have an extra cover - beyond underwear - for ones genitals. (A bit like the modesty shorts for prepubescent girls).

What occurred to me is the fact that quite a number of posters feel strongly that the hijab is oppressive, and that women shouldn't have to cover their head hair or feel that going uncovered is immodest. Yes, it 's theoretically a personal decision, but they think it's a pity women should face cultural pressure to make a decision of that kind

How many women who have negative views about the hijab, feel that is nicer/more modest/generally fresher and better if they double cover their genital area.

Yes I think it's not just about the medical issue for all women, but agree some need to wear them. Its a shame that this can't be discussed without posters being told to go fuck themselves.

So what? I couldn't care less if I have sweat on my vulva? It's posts like this that annoy me. But I use soap on my vulva on the shower! No thrush! I am feeling positive today about having one less thing to worry about!

Hi guys. What reusable panty liner brands do you use? Never thought about it. Much more comfortable a breathable!

And a pair of pants is perfectly enough to 'soak up' a bit of discharge. I'd imagine even panty liners don't do much for 'globs'.

Wear them if you want, of course wear them if you need. But don't come on here and say that people who don't should some how care about their sweat and discharge. I literally couldn't give a fuck if I have stainy pants at the end of the day.

And a pair of pants is perfectly enough to 'soak up' a bit of discharge. Well obviously not that's why they're being worn. This is not rocket science.
