To ask if you’ve noticed this about sanitary towels??

[Suuudohnym]

Anyone else noticed that you can only seem to buy pads for ‘normal’ flows now?

You used to be able to get them for light/normal/heavy flow but now all I can find is ones for normal flow but in different lengths. I used to buy Boots, Sainsbury’s or Bodyform ones for a heavy flow but can only find them for normal flow now and they just don’t do the job!! Same for other brands - why is this???

Thanks all. Might just buy nighttime ones - not sure why I didn’t think of that!!

And yes, DD uses period pants and likes them - might give them a go. Only thing I don’t like about them is when the washing machine is on and she needs to change them, she just has to rinse them out and leave them in a bag until the machine is free

I was just saying how confusing it all is, because they make all different kinds for different times of day and flows! My husband is utterly confused when I ask him to get me some. I’m assuming ‘ultra’ means for a heavier flow? Wasn’t this choice when I first started. I always buy the home brands as exactly the same but much cheaper!

I remember Always used to sell the thick unwrapped pads with wings, they were great but were discontinued years ago.

No I use the maxi pads with period pants.
