Period pants - recommendations and practicalities

[redblonde]

Hi there, not AIBU but posting for traffic.

I’m looking into period pants for my 15 year old and wondered firstly if anyone has any recommendations (she has a couple of days of pretty heavy flow so I wasn’t sure how effective they would be?) and secondly advice on the practicalities - presumably you wear one pair all day? They are supposed to be rinsed out before washing - do you have a bucket in the bathroom (like nappies!)

Any advice gratefully received- thanks.

I gave dd the modibodi bikini bottoms and she wore them in the sea, no problem. Probably wouldn't risk it in a pool. Don't bother with M & S period pants - all of ours started to fall apart after 3 or 4 washes.😡

Bonds are great. I use the full brief for night time and the bikini ones during the day. I don't usually have to change them during the day, but occasionally if it's a very heavy flow and a long day it might start to feel a bit gross. I've never leaked.

It says to rinse them before washing but I have never bothered. I just cold wash with my other clothes and I've not had any issues.
