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.

I prefer wearing my older underwear during my period. The only reason I do this is because no matter what kind of pad I'm using, or what style of underwear I wear, I always end up staining. I can't wear wings, because they catch fluid and stain my clothes at school. If I don't wear wings, then my underwear stain in every possible way they can in my sleep. It drives me crazy,and it keeps me on the edge whenever I'm on. I don't know what to do.

I wear my underwear that is old and a size too small, it helps hold the pad closer and I always stain so it's better. I recommend you don't wear white undies unless they have a red pattern, I have a pair that's white with red hearts and it works. (:

Swimmerrocks08 The string to your tampon will not hang out of your swimsuit for one because it is not long enough and two because it usually sits between your lips. So dont be afraid there is nothing to worry about, and if you are that worried just wear swim shorts over your regular swimsuit bottom. Hope this helped!! =)

I'm a swimmer and I haven't gotten my period yet, I'm afraid that if I wear a tampon to swim practice, (when I get my period.) The string will hang out of the side of my suit or people can see the string through my suit. Is this posible? If so how can I reduce my chances of that happening?

I wear pads only, with my most comfortable fitting underwear (not the old loose ones) I also wear short black shorts so when i wear pants or jeans, my pad doesn't show.

I actually used a tampon before using a pad. I think pads feel really gross and I'm always afraid I'll get a stain. I usually do. Therefore, tampons!
