Pads/liners/sanitary towels HELP ME

Ladies, since my endo got bad I have to avoid tampons mostly. I've always only used them. The world of panty liners is driving me crazy. Please can you all suggest a decent brand/type? I've tried so many! There's just too many to choose from with no good description on the packet. I'd like them

  1. Thin
  2. Not scented
  3. Comfortable
  4. No sticky bits touching legs...urgh
You get the drift. Thank you!

Reusable pads from amazon. Take getting used to as some people think they can be bulky get the long ones. They are so so comfortable. No more itchy sweaty vag. No more thrush. I would never go back.

Always infinity are very good idea find. Very slim , soft, super absorbent, unscented

I use liners as backup to tampons during my withdrawal bleed. I like Tena lights, either regular liners or the light liners. I avoid the single wrapped ones because I don't feel they stick as well.
They're soft, non scented and I never notice I've got one on.
I've tried others like always and bodyform but I like these the best.

Body form are the only pads worth using! Lil lets used to be great but they changed them and now they're horrendous

I like Sainsburys own brand pads.

happymummy12345 · 02/07/2018 22:49

Obviously I read that as you want liners specifically. If you're meaning actual pads as opposed to liners then please ignore me completely. Can't offer any advice on them though as I never use them at all.

Also another recommendation for Always Infinity. I used them instead of maternity pads and they were heavy duty while being thin and comfortable.

@happymummy12345 I didn't know there was a difference between pads and liners. I am new to the world on non tampons.. It's just on day one/two that i need a pad as it's too painful to wear tampons. I find them bulky, long and uncomfortable.

I just bought Always something (so many options) and they go right up my back lol. Horrendous.

I tried infinity and i think they are the best so far. Still a bit big though..I can feel them there... What happened to those little ones that just sat snug in knickers. hmm

@DwangelaForever I'll try them but again, so many options. I dont want a pad from my spine to my belly button! Any idea the sub name of the comfortable ones?

@DwangelaForever maybe just light flow and change more often

@DwangelaForever or the daily fresh so slim lol. Are those scented?

Liners are much smaller and designed mostly as backup to internal products, to use when you think you may start, or for discharge.
Pads are much bigger and designed for actual periods as a stand alone product.
As I said I use liners for discharge sometimes and as a backup to tampons.
Good luck, I hope you find something suitable for what you need.
