Just in case anyone is considering buying them.
I usually use the Love Luna brand from Sainsbury’s (£12 per pair), but at £13 for 3, I thought it worth giving Primark a go.
First impression: they’re nice thick, cottony material, compared to Love Luna which almost feel like swimsuit fabric. They also come in colours other than black which I like.
I’m normally a 10/12, which isn’t a size in Primark, so I went for 12/14. They’re slightly on the small side, so I’ll have to be careful what I wear them under to avoid a vpl.
I wore them today, which seemed like a light-medium day, though it’s hard to be certain as the interior gusset is black, so you can’t see how much you’ve bled.
I felt dry all day, and didn’t notice any smell. However it wasn’t until I changed them on getting home from work I realised I’d leaked through. I couldn’t tell from the inside due to the black lining, but after taking them off it was very obvious on the outside.
Ultimately, I’ll be sticking with the Love Lunas, which is a shame as they’re more pricey. I’ll keep these for those annoying spotting days at the end of a cycle, but they’re no use for an actual period.
