Is there any other small narrow teens brand of sanitary towels other than lilets?

Mine was very fussy and liked Sainsbury’s own brand - very thin, not perfumes and not too wide. I think own brands are generally thinner

My dd likes bodyform with wings

BlackHillsofDakota · 27/04/2020 22:13

My petite dd uses body form also

DarkMutterings · 28/04/2020 01:00

Did anyone use period pants and if so what brand? DD started recently and isn't loving towels, so was wondering about the pants as a better option?

MadauntofA · 28/04/2020 07:11

We didn't Dark as my Dd, who hated towels moved onto tampons and luckily had a light flow so managed with them only. I am considering pants with my youngest when she starts as she is v sporty so might give her some added protection when she is active

Thanks, DD seems quite heavy already and at 11 isn't really keen on tampons yet, so I fear it's towels for her.

Theres some bella teen ones on amazon or something.

Would help to know what the issue is so we can advise?

Disneydarlings · 28/04/2020 13:42

There's no issue. DD is only tiny and lots of brands body form, always are very wide. Lilets seem to be narrower for the gusset area. I was just wondering if there was any other brands that do a teen range. I guess it's just trial and error.

I buy lilets as they seem the smallest for DDs underwear. I buy them on Amazon as no shops bear here stock them, unless you drive 40 mins into the city! It's a right pain.

dementedpixie · 28/04/2020 14:52

Lillets were too short for dd and they leaked at the back.

Hopefulmidwife · 28/04/2020 14:53

I like bodyform. They're not perfumed and they are so much softer than always.

RedskyAtnight · 28/04/2020 14:58

Lillets night are better than the day ones (the day ones seem too small even with a petite teen).

TheHobbitMum · 28/04/2020 14:59

My teen prefers Lillets Teen range perfect for them, Super drug and Amazon sell them

DD uses Modibodis. She started jut 3 months into having a period as she totally and utterly hates tampons and pads. She uses them only when away with the scouts or for swimming (thinking of buying her a Modibodis swimwear though).

One pair lasts from 7am - 4pm, she wears an overnight one on PE days or if she is the whole day at the stable. Hardly any leaks.

SnowsInWater · 04/05/2020 07:07

I got DD the Modibodi bikini bottoms @reluctantbrit and she loves them. Mix and match bikinis are the thing here so black bottoms are great.

londonbrick · 04/05/2020 07:17

Have you considered a mooncup?

reluctantbrit · 04/05/2020 08:03

@londonbrick I think most preteens or young teens are still not grown enough for one.

Also, the idea to use a tampon is bad enough for mine, she only uses them as she swims as a hobby and loves pools on holiday. The idea to take a mooncup out and empty it is definitely “yuck” factor too much for her.

245Blossom · 10/05/2020 22:46

I use Modibodi and reuseable pads so have brought a few for DD for when she starts, the mood swings would suggest not much longer to wait.
I'm not a fan of tampons, so while I like the idea of a mooncup I'm not convinced plus have read that you have to be very careful when removing it or you can end up with a prolapse.

The modibodi swimsuit comes up quite small. Bought 2 and both quite right (but fine). Probably need to be.

anicebag · 10/05/2020 22:55

Tight not right
