Pantyliners

[PrettyCandles]

Are there any which don't have a waterproof backing?

oh X post about acidophilus

really recommend lactacyd tho

sorry only skimmed this but feel quite strongly re pantyliner

i think they are devils work and only useful during period

scented is unhealthy

my fanny smells good - well it does not smell !

i think women should bathe - not shower and wear cotton pants

I think we need a pantyliners topic

I'll try the Goldneseal and prebiotics, thanks.

pmsl capp

Can recommend Diflucan (or Boots alternative, which is much cheaper) for eradicating thrush immediately, but it is a short term solution.

Long term you need to sort your diet out.

Honestly.

Not sure what Capp means about nearly killing herself, though!

paula, great minds....

Lactacyd is good, but I can't find the one you use when there are problems. I can still find the everyday one, though.

Because I did the anticandida diet last year, and got ill during it

and haven't been well since

no PC I have never found the super lactacyd

pantyliner topic, good idea

some people on here must be really very, err, moist.

but I don't even use a mooncup now because that felt to be contributing

Sorry to hear that Capp. But how would the diet make you ill?

what sort of ill, capp?

it made me ignore something that actually was wrong with me because it was a symptom of die-off

I kept thinking shit I am ill, and the book kept telling me that was fine

I developed ME in the end

i dont mind a bit of moisture - am i odd?

i like the smell of my bits - am i odd?

I do bathe twice a day

To the people who are anti-pantyliner (note the anti-panty rhyme, you get that made up on tops, badges etc...)
do you really think its better to get wet pants and thats that?

I know the anti-candida diet very well, my sister lived on it for several years as a child. My diet is nowhere near that, but it is a very sound diet nonetheless (just there's reather too much of it!). Though I am just coming out of a too-many-biscuits-and-chocolate phase. While I don't deny the connection, I'm sure in my case that the thrush isn't being triggered by diet, but by excessive, continuous dampness in the area. It's also very clearly external thrush, rather than internal. Of course diet may be making me more vulnerable, so I'll try to be more cautious of what I'm eating during the times when I use liners.

But I don't have wet pants!
Erm, you know, they're not bone dry (gawd, the things you post here!) but they're not wringing and minging by the end of the day or anything. My pelvic floor is fine mind you, is that the difference? Are we talking about wee or just normal moisture here?

yes.

if for some reason it was really bad, i'd take a spare pair of knicks.

PC my thrush was external

got some timodene from the docs

best thing in the world

go get some

No, not pevlic floor issues - thankfully!

No I don't mean sopping I've-just-wet-myself-wet but some days its more necessary than others. Start and end of period etc when its too light for tampax etc.

Why is that better though?

As a femenist thing or a natural, no plastic near fanjo thing?

not wee surely! normal daily secretions vary during the month but that is fine

its a self cleansing mechanism - the moisture is not nasty
