Pantiliners
Like wearing deodorant or lip-gloss, using a pantiliner is another nice way to keep up your personal hygiene. Daily liners, or pantiliners that are designed to be worn comfortably every day, can help you feel confident about your body. They’re a simple way to stay feeling feminine and fresh. Some women use pantiliners every day to manage vaginal discharge, others use them primarily mid-cycle (during ovulation) to manage just their increased vaginal discharge.Other reasons for using pantiliners might include managing slight urine loss, as a back up when wearing a tampon or as protection in anticipation of a period starting. Some women use daily liners for the management of light postpartum flow a few weeks after giving birth. Those who do use pantiliners for postpartum flow or urinary incontinence because of a sensitive bladder should look for liners with extra leak protection. For women who use liners daily to manage vaginal discharge, there are pantiliners that feature scent or are designed to work in a variety of underwear styles.
Sometimes surprises are awesome. Like a party in your honor, an unexpected text from your crush, a package in the mail ... Other times, surprises are, well, not so awesome. Maybe you got your period at school when you didn’t expect it, or maybe you’re anxiously awaiting your first period. In the event of a not-so-fun surprise, you want to be prepared. Pantiliners are a great way to prepare for the unexpected and help keep you feeling fresh all day.
Pantiliner
A pantiliner (also pantliner, panty liner or panty shield) is an absorbent piece of material used for feminine hygiene. It is worn in the gusset of a woman's panties. Some uses include: absorbency for daily vaginal discharge, light menstrual flow, tampon and menstrual cup backup, spotting, post-intercourse discharge and urinary incontinence.
A pantiliner is a product designed to give you a way to feel cleaner, fresher and drier any time of the month and any time of the day or night. A pantiliner is thinner and generally smaller in size than a full size feminine napkin (pad). Pantiliners are great to wear as backup protection when you have your period and are using a tampon. They are also great for absorbing wetness and protecting your panties from normal discharge, perspiration, small leaks of urine and unexpected menstrual flow.
Pantiliners are related to sanitary napkins in their basic construction - but are usually much thinner and often narrower than pads. As a result they absorb much less liquid than pads - making them ideal for light discharge and everyday cleanliness. They are generally unsuitable for menstruation of medium to heavy incontinence. They are made with a sticky adhesive on the back of the pad to hold them in place in the panties, and some styles have 'wings' which wrap around the panty, providing additional stability.
Pantiliners are found in an assortment of sizes, shapes, scents and portability options, ranging from tiny, compact liners to long, protective liners designed for heavy vaginal discharge and light days (light menstrual flow). There are even styles designed to fit with thong underwear.
Types of Pantiliners
Disposable pantiliners are made with a sticky adhesive on the back of the pad to hold them in place in the panties, and some styles have 'wings' which wrap around the panties, providing additional stability. Some popular brands of disposable pantiliners are Carefree, Always, and Kotex.
Reusable cloth pantiliners come in a variety of sizes, materials, patterns, colors, and absorbencies, and are usually secured to the underwear by wrap-around wings that snap together at the ends. Some popular brands of washable pantiliners are Lunapads and Gladrags. a small length of material which can be stuck to the inside of a woman's underpants to absorb any liquid from the body. These are made of cotton (often organic), and can be washed and reused for years. See cloth menstrual pad for more information.
Top 5 Reasons to Use Pantiliners:
• Vaginal discharge (when your underwear gets wet or sticky) is normal no matter where you are in your cycle. If it makes you uncomfortable or if you just want to keep your panties clean, a pantiliner works wonders!
• Wearing pantiliners every day “just in case” helps you prepare for the unexpected. It's not unusual to have irregular periods, especially the first few times you get them.
• If you use a tampon, it’s great to have a backup plan. A pantiliner can catch tampon overflow, helping keep your undies clean and dry.
• For light days during your period, especially toward the end, sometimes all you need is a little protection between you and your underwear. Pantiliners are a great option for lighter protection days.
• During heavy workouts or exercise, or on hot, humid days, the feeling of sweaty underwear can really put you off your game. Pantiliners absorb wetness, pulling it below the surface to help you feel fresh.
