Slim Sanitary Pads

i haven’t used sanitary pads in years.
only panty liners for breakthrough bleeding with mirena

but I had a procedure yesterday and the panty liners won’t hold up

so after a rummage in a bag I found an always normal with wings and although it’s slim, the wings are a nightmare and it’s quite long

can anyone suggest a slim, shorter pad please as I’m going out this weekend and don’t want to feel like I’m wearing something

I used Flo bamboo ones from Amazon as the plasticy/scented Always types irritated me. The ones I used had wings but they stayed put and didn't catch on stray hairs! Very slim and barely noticeable ime. I do tend to wear granny pants though so not sure how they'd hold up on anything else!

Liletts do teen ones, they are shorter and narrower.

Bodyform were always my go-to for disposable pads. I never ever bought any brand with wings, they were invariably in the wrong place for where I wanted to put them.

Body form are the panty liners I use and they are fabulous so good to know their pads are same

Sorry, have been off work sick and hadn't twigged it was already Friday!

Just googled and looks like Boots/Superdrug and Sainsbo's stock them.
