Do you wear panty liners every day?

I wear thin liners every day as I hate anything other than feeling totally dry down there. Is this normal?
One of my friends says she changes her knickers twice a day for that reason.... What do you do?

I wear liners too

Thiswayorthatway · 28/03/2019 22:06

Or Modibodi evety day pants

Youmadorwhat · 28/03/2019 22:08

No, just at the time of month really

EstrellaDamn · 28/03/2019 22:08

I never, ever do.

Mooncup during my period, never feel the need for any other protection the rest of the time.

SallyWD · 28/03/2019 22:08

Never! Not good for you or the environment.

alonerinlona · 28/03/2019 22:09

Never. Each to their own I guess BUT a PO has made a valid point about the environment.
I use a moon cup for this reason

dementedpixie · 28/03/2019 22:10

I am a sweaty crotch type of person and don't want to walk about with damp pants all day. In what way is it not good for me?

Blondielongie · 28/03/2019 22:11

There was a massive thread on this a while ago. All women are different. Some don't need any extra protection, others (me included) really need them most of the time sadly, soggy knickers otherwise :(

happyhillock · 28/03/2019 22:13

Yes i wear one every day for the same reason

pansydansy · 28/03/2019 22:14

I use put toilet paper in my knickers. Does the same job and can be flushed 🤷🏻‍♀️

coffeecoffeecofffee · 28/03/2019 22:14

I wear them everyday too- TMI but I get discharge. It makes me feel shitty and unattractive, I've no idea if it's normal as I'm only 20!

ElizabethMainwaring · 28/03/2019 22:14

Yes. Especially when it's hot weather.

pansydansy · 28/03/2019 22:15

Just

Order654 · 28/03/2019 22:15

Nope. Never bought them.

ElizabethMainwaring · 28/03/2019 22:16

Not for discharge, just general sweaty dampness.

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 28/03/2019 22:16

Yes I do, I've had four kids and my bladder isn't great, so I wear a pad to stay fresh.

Crossfitgirl · 28/03/2019 22:17

I feel damp and uncomfortable after a while if I don't wear one. The people who don't wear them - don't you get damp?
Good point about the environment... But aren't moon cups and the likes just for periods?

No but I do tend to change my knickers twice a day usually. Women have natural discharges to keep our vaginas healthy. Nothing to be ashamed of. Wet days / dry days. Men don't get this. They think if we're wet "down there" we're sexually excited! "No, love, you have to do better than that. It's just a wet day."

Bigonesmallone3 · 28/03/2019 22:19

Never do.. don't get damp Confused

Whereareyouspot · 28/03/2019 22:20

Never have.

I Accept discharge variations as being part and parcel of a normal womanhood.

Singlenotsingle · 28/03/2019 22:21

No I don't (wear one) and no I don't (feel damp).

Dramatical · 28/03/2019 22:21

Literally no one has said they are ashamed 🤷🏻‍♀️

People have said they don't like the damp feeling so wear liners. That's a practical solution to a physical situation and absolutely nothing to do with shame Hmm

Bananasarenottheonlyfruit · 28/03/2019 22:22

Never. And no I don't get damp.

Dramatical · 28/03/2019 22:23

I Accept discharge variations as being part and parcel of a normal womanhood.

Another odd comment!

Wearing a liner doesn't mean people don't accept 'womanhood'. Periods are also part and parcel of being female, is it wrong to use protection then?

BroomstickOfLove · 28/03/2019 22:23

I noticed that if I removed my pubes, I needed to wear a panty liner, but if I left them on, I didn't. So I stopped waxing and also stopped having a soggy gusset and frequent bouts of thrush.
