Best pads/products for pregnancy dampness?

[TheSubtleKnifeAndFork]

Not wee - just general dampness in the crotch area. Everything down there feels a bit on the clammy side and I'm getting sore with chafing! I think possibly the added pregnancy discharge isn't helping.

Any specific pads or products that are good at keeping things nice and dry? I'm using a normal cotton panty liner today, but it's super thin and I don't think it'll be enough. Considering period pants maybe, but they're not cheap...

Any recommendations welcome. I hope I'm not alone with a clammy crotch...

Tenna lady do a lovely pad called tenna lights, they are new.. Iv been using them now for a few weeks and think they are brilliant.

I also use the proper tenna lady as maternity pads as they are much nicer, softer, shaped than regular maternity pads.

Yes I also recommend Tena lights, I’ve used them for quite a few months and they are very comfortable. The last few times I have got them they have been on offer in Tesco and Superdrug for 2 packs :)

I just use aldi's liners they do the trick and cheap as chips.

I could have written this! After a work trip this week with more walking than usual, I was in agony. I've resorted to my thinx period pants, and am planning to order some of the UK equivalent ones (mobibodi?) soon. I don't like wearing normal towels due to chafing, but I might resort to that as well.

I use ‘Natracare’ liners. They’re perfume free (and plastic free/ chlorine free)- they just feel really soft and don’t irritate me. They’re available in Waitrose, not sure where else! I do find them slightly thicker than some of the ‘super thin’ pads but they’re def not anything like a period pad or anything so not sure if they’re totally what you’re after.
Ah clammy crotch..

Ah the glamours of pregnancy, I've had to switch from plain thin always dailies to always long and protect. They seem to be doing the job so far and are regularly on offer!

I used Tena lights too (the ALDI equivalent is good too). I also used Femfresh 'talc' (doesn't actually contain talc) which helped.

Ooh this thread is just what I need!!

Thanks all for the advice (@TheSubtleKnifeAndFork you're definitely not alone in this 😘)

Ah, lots of recommendations, thank you all so much. Will check them out! Kind of glad that I'm not alone with the clamminess, but also sorry others are suffering too. Pregnancy really is a glamorous time innit?
