I've bought some cloth pads and while I like concept, the ones I've purchased are too wide in the crotch. I'm not an especially petite person and I don't wear thongs or anything, but with all of them, the pads are a lot wider than my underwear so they kind of bunch up. Even if I were to put another snap in, I don't really want the areas with ( Read more... )

Vulva shapes? Vagina tilt? Body build? It seems back bleeding is more common, hence pads usually being longer and more flared in the back as well as asking some friends. I'm between a front and straight down bleeder myself, as I usually gush off the top of the pad onto the top front of my panties on my heavy days and bleed straight onto a quarter- ( Read more... )

I was wondering what some of your favorite pad-friendly snug fitting underwear brands are? I strictly use hanes cotton stretch bikini underwear while i'm using cloth pads and I thought they were rather snug fitting but I'm having problems with wingless pads staying put so I'm looking for different underwear to try. I'm not giving up on wingless ( Read more... )

I was disappointed to find that Lunapanties have no protective barrier, so I went looking for other options.  I found these panties with a protective coating sewn into the center and backside ( Read more... )

I'm looking to buy some cloth panty-liners with wings (for the first time) so I'm doing a little research.  All my A-team undies are boyleg and measure 68-70mm (about 2.75") in the middle of the crotch.  (The crotch is hour-glass shaped so gets wider further forward or back).  From looking at the options available I know some liners come in ( Read more... )

The last pad I used was a perfumed plastic sticky thing years and years ago. I've been happily using a cup since around 04-05, but I'm scheduled to get an IUD in a week ( Read more... )

After researching about cloth pads and cups I have ordered a couple from different people to try out different styles etc. I am wearing a cloth panty-liner for the first time today! :)

However I have noticed that the tabs on the pads are annoying me slightly. My underwear sits normally against my skin, but the flaps sort of hang and bunch between my ( Read more... )

i'm confused about the lunapanties and deluxe lunapanties. from the lunapads website:

deluxe:
"Deluxe Lunapanties are certified 100% organic cotton underwear that have a 9" (23cm) long panel made of 2 layers of 100% cotton fleece and 1 layer of ultra-thin nylon sewn permanently into the gusset, plus ric-rac bands to hold Liners for added ( Read more... )

...they actually had menstrual panties! They were made by a company called "Harlon." They weren't made to absorb like Lunapanties but were meant to be a barrier to prevent leaks. They had a moisture-proof panel built into the crotch. I was quite surprised to see them to say the least. They were quite cheap (about $4). I didn't buy any but I ( Read more... )
