Liners for cup backup?

[sporkkity]

So I'm going traveling for about a year long trip soon. I use a divacup, and when at home, I just wear my older, set aside for period use, underwear so I don't worry about leaks or anything. But if I'm going to be traveling, I will only have a few pairs of underwear, which I'd rather not get leaks and whatnot on. So my question is, what pads

There are plenty of sellers of 5-6 inch pantyliners: http://clothpads.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/xs. The thinnest pads tend to have a waterproof layer (PUL, wool, polyester fleece, or nylon), but for cup backup, you'll probably find this unnecessary. Wingless pads also cut down on the possible "bulk" of wings, but you have to remember to hold onto them whenever you remove your underwear.

If you want something breathable, you may want to avoid liners with synthetic waterproof barriers (especially PUL). I'd advise you to measure the width of the crotch of your underwear to determine what width might fit you best, as a pad that's too wide might slip around and a pad that's too narrow might bunch up. Other than that, my only advice is to not stock up on liners from any one brand until you've tied them out and know what you like. It's better to sample just one or two from several sellers before making a bit investment to that you're more likely to end up with liners that suit you perfectly.
