Stickiest sanitary pads

[Perimenoanti]

that are unscented.

Help me find the stickiest pads for heavy flows for a larger body please.

I have used lilets maternity pads but some man at lilets decided to change them up and they barely stick to my underwear now. I'm absolutely completely gutted. They are absolute garbage now and I have written to them to complain.

Pls no suggestions on pants, cups etc. I'm asking about single use pads only.

Not yet. Literally got caught out yesterday. In what way do you find the Sainsbury's good?

Thanks will look into those. Think I have seen the brand before.

I would recommend Asda or Tesco op both really good for heavy flow and sticking.

Not too plastic like/irritating ? Will have a look.

Which ones exactly do you use? I found that even the stickieness varies within the same brand so want to look up your exact recommendation.

I found the only thing that worked for me were the ones with wings and sticking the wings together around my pants.

the only bonus for menopause 🙄

I also found naturcare pretty good, but I can't remember any more details, sorry. The key was the wings sticking (overlap one with the other)

Do NOT waste your money on Aldi ones. Absolutely minimal absorption.

@Perimenoanti definitely not irritating or plastic feeling.

This might sound like a weird suggestion but have tried using a medium sized safety pin on the front if your pad to make sure it stays attached to your pants? I have seen some people on the internet suggest this helps.

Otherwise if you get desperate I think some manufacturers still make sanitary belts, although I think those are aimed more at incontinence and haven't used them myself.

Incidentally, I'm on the Mirena Coil contraception and whilst I did have about a 2-month continuous period since starting it, I then have not had another period for over 5 years (I just get spotting around once or twice a year). Feel free to ignore if it's not for you but just mentioning in case you weren't aware of that option.

The long ultra extra ones in the pink box

I use Bodyform as I can't use scented either. Their pantiliners have gone the opposite of super adhesive now. I've fed it back to them.

Yes i agree. I find that many pads have wings too far towards the front. I honestly can't get my head around the design. So much talk about leaking into the back and it happens to me too, but there needs to be quite a bit of pad up the front. The wings are usually so far to the front that I can't stick them properly or I would be wearing something thong like up my vulva. It's ridiculous.

Do other women not leak towards the front? What if you sleep on your stomach or get a gush of bloody and jelly as you sit down, get up etc.

Okay, thank you. Will not do that.

Haha I might actually try this. I guess you mustn't do this when flying.

Asda ones are decent and cheap but I use the ones with wings
or reusable with poppers

Honestly why do they switch it up. Do they change condoms like that too and do men get caught out by it?

These look bloody promising. I'm SO excited. The wings aren't too far up the front either.

I struggle to fully peel Bodyform off as they are so sticky.

Okay. A few people have said that now. Maybe they changed since I last tried them.

I hate scented pads too, gross. Probably another great idea by a man.

I find Tesco own brand pads ok, they are unscented and they do a super plus night time pad

I've had some from them so sticky I struggled to get them and now they float off when you pull your knickers up 🙄

I leak at the front more than at the back.

Bodyform Maxi Night with wings have a good amount at the front and I find they stick really well. The towels are more padded than most modern ones and I find them very comfortable.

They aren’t that easy to find, I think Savers is one of the only shops local to me that stock them. Haven’t seen them on Amazon.

These are not the same as Bodyform Goodnight, which I have accidentally bought and been disappointed with. Although they stick reasonably well too.

I was just going to order my deodorant from Amazon and it's been discontinued too. Its not listed on ocado either. What a day for a woman!

Have you tried incontinence pads ? I find them more absorbent and sticky .
I use Always long , unfortunately they are scented but they ( unlike most ) don't aggravate me

OP- have you thought about changing your knickers? I found that my period pads sometimes struggled to stick to my pants no matter what kind I tried on. It was the material of the pants that made the difference.
