Period Underwear

Just as all decisions about what kinds or colors of underwear you like are personal ones, so are ones about what kind of period underwear you should wear during your period.

 

Some girls like to wear their oldest, least favorite pair when they're having their period, just in case something happens and they get a stain on them. Others prefer to wear their newest, most favorite pair during that time of month because they say it helps make them feel fresh and good.

 

If you're a tampon wearer and you're concerned about stains on your underwear on heavy days of your period, you may want to consider wearing a pantiliner to help keep you feeling fresh.

 

If your period catches you by surprise and you get a stain on your period underwear, remember that COLD water and salt work best for getting out blood stains. Then wash with your favorite detergent.

 

Whatever your choice is, make sure that your period underwear is the right size, especially if you're wearing a pad. Your underwear is what helps keep your pad in the right place, and if your underwear is too big or old and no longer has elasticity, there's a bigger chance that it won't. Use this guide to learn how to properly use a pad and avoid leaks:

Always start by washing your hands. If the pad or pantiliner you’re using is in a wrapper, remove it and save it for disposing the used pad later.
Now, remove the backing of the pad (sometimes the wrapper doubles as the backing).
Center the sticky side of the pad in the bottom panel of your panties (the area that goes between your legs). Be sure not to put it too far to the back or front. If your pad or pantiliner has wings, remove the backing (if necessary) and wrap them around the underside of your panties.
To dispose of a used pad or pantiliner, pull it off your panties and roll it up like a sleeping bag in tissue or the wrapper from a fresh pad. Then toss it in the trash. But remember, never flush a pad or pantiliner down the toilet.

OMG, YOU ALL HAVE to het some Period PantEEZ! I used to ruin all of my sheets and undies because of my period, but I have NOT had ONE accident since I got my Period PantEEZ. You can for sure get them at www.periodpanteez.com and I think they sell them at the mall, too. They are black (so show no stains), soft, comfy, and even suck in your tummy!

They have underwear, i saw, especially for your period. its a thick comfortable cotton, and it wicks away sweat and stuff. You still have to wear pads and stuff. I think I might get some. It sort of, hides the blood and absorbs it, just in case you forget to put on a pad or something.

Its really tough to keep the pad in its place sometimes with all the active sports that I am into. I use always and my mom does not let me use tampons. I also use leak-proof adira period panties that keeps me from stains just in case my pad shifts
