Panties and Pads

When you use pads, your panties takes on a special role. It is responsible for keeping the pad in place to protect your clothes from leaks. There are many problems with this. Pads can bunch or move to the side, panties can move and take the pad with it, or your panties may not hold the pad snug against your body and it may leak or make a mess that way.

Most women have “period panties”. These are panties that are past their best days and you will not worry if they get messed up and have to be thrown out. Often these panties are panties with stains on because of previous leaks, or panties with stretched elastic bands.

Leaks happen, but it is still not fun, and neither is explaining why there is a red stain on a car seat or couch. So the best way to deal with leaks is to just avoid them.

One way of avoiding leaks is to keep the pad more secure in place and close to your body. To do this, use a high cut panty, a thing, or a T-back panty to put the pad in. You can even use a bikini style panty for this, but other panty styles are better at the job. Pull the panty and the pad up into your butt crack where it will stay snug and secure, and not bunch up or move. This works better if the panty is thinner at the back than the pad. This may feel and look weird, but it works. It may also not be what you were taught or heard, but even though it is counterintuitive, it works and it works well. You can wear a full panty over it to hide the pad if it makes you feel more comfortable and secure.
