I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69417 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:54:32 +0000 mediagirl 69417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was always taught to let things breathe down there at night so, I will just wear pj bottoms to bed. That way, it doesn't matter what I wear during the day. That's my theory. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69399 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:50:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 69399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: lol, I like NSFM! Or maybe a general TMI abbreviation for any women who might not want to read about these "gross" things ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69395 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:49:17 +0000 BSB 69395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: We should start a new abbrevation. FWEO (For Womens Eyes Only) or NSFM (Not safe for Men). LOL</p> <p>Or, I wonder if we can suggest a new forum for Women Only.<br /> That should be a good hint to MrBee and any men on here to stay away. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69389 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:47:57 +0000 Rubies 69389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After I gave birth and my bleeding stopped completely (what, 7 weeks later!?!?), I wore pantyliners every day until I was 5 months post-partum. I just felt like it was what Mrs. Bee said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69302 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:24:18 +0000 mrs. wagon 69302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: excellent point!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69202 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:37:40 +0000 cupcakemama 69202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also wanted to add, hair down there and discharge - not gross, it's what makes us women and separates us from pre-pubescent girls. Sorry, I don't get the whole 'it's gross and dirty!' concept. Garbage trucks are gross and dirty, women's bodies are amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69191 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:31:10 +0000 cupcakemama 69191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: ditto. </p> <p>They are evil though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69165 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:53:00 +0000 Crisark 69165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: Hey, I'll take money saving tips all day long! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69144 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:16:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 69144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crisark: You can usually find shick coupons in the sunday paper inserts and if you can catch a cvs sale with extra bucks back, you can get it super cheap! (sorry, extreme couponer coming out) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69142 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:13:32 +0000 Crisark 69142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: Ooh! That's something I haven't tried. I use the bikini razors, real little things. Works wonders if you are just getting rid of most of it and aren't trying anything elaborate lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69140 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:10:59 +0000 mrs. wagon 69140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crisark: yes, this is also a recent discovery of mine. LOVE the new trimmer by Shick... it's a razor on one side, trimmer on the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69108 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:41:12 +0000 aMohror 69108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got in the habit of wearing pantyliners about 4 years ago when I got my IUD. I was spotting for 3 months straight and I guess after the 3 months I was hooked! I'm like some of you other women, I feel so dirty without them because I can tell if I have discharge and that feeling is so gross if I'm out and about and have to stay in the same undies! I haven't had any problems with any infections. I don't wear them to bed at all so I still get the night to air out. I also use always dry pantyliner and LOVE them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69094 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:12:30 +0000 Crisark 69094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: I am the same way!<br /> I will NOT wear underwear without a liner unless I'm going to bed!<br /> I've been wearing them daily since I had my first daughter, so almost 9 years now.<br /> I've had no issues with infections or anything.<br /> TMI....but I find that I have less discharge or "issues" for needing a liner if I'm completely shaved down there. Once I have an real amt of hair it seems to hold the discharge and that's when it's yucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69086 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:06:38 +0000 Bao 69086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wearing pantiliners everyday since I was about 16, there's just something about discharge getting on my underwear and getting crusty that I hate lol!....I've never had any problems or infections, so far so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69065 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:40:03 +0000 DpeachLu 69065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont know but during this pregnancy I CAN NOT live without them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-69061 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:36:29 +0000 Nskillet 69061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in this boat and recently added panty liners when my undies seemed to be extra *ahem* covered?!</p> <p>What gives? MY problem is discharge is so normal for me that I never know if ive got something unless my OB tells me. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68990 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:38:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 68990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: lol. Oh he is aware of my issues. Poor guy knows wayyyy too much about women's reproductive health. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68982 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:36:18 +0000 Andrea 68982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: that is a good idea about the flag. but what about your DH? tell him he cannot read this. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68980 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:35:17 +0000 mrs. wagon 68980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I have issues regardless... beh. I've tried it all and spoken to so many gynos about it, but I think that the bottom line is that some women just have more discharge than others. (TMIIIIIIII) I used to get UTIs when I was younger, but now I'm super careful with keeping things clean down there, and if I feel one coming on I take cranberry extract pills.</p> <p>I really really really hope Mr. Bee is not following this thread. We should have a "women only" flag!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68973 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:31:13 +0000 Andrea 68973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: whoa! so i guess you haven't had any issues even with long term use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68969 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:29:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 68969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've worn a pantiliner every day since I hit puberty. This is wayyyy TMI but I absolutely need it unless maybe I wore 3 pair of underwear every day. I wear 100% cotton undies and always infinity liners and they stay very dry. I always carry extras and if it gets moist at all, I change it. </p> <p>hehe... evil... muhahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68930 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:13:11 +0000 tequiero21 68930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm with the above - i don't like using pantyliners. i used them when i used to spot before my period and at the end of my period, when it was a waste to wear a whole pad. even with discharge (tmi), i just wear my undies.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68826 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:42:09 +0000 twinmama 68826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless there's a lot to absorb, I just prefer my cotton undies. However, I started using gladrags for a few months prior to pregnancy (they have cloth pantiliner options too) and I love them. So much softer on your pieces, and the cotton absorbs differently than a disposable. But it's still another layer, so there's still the air circulation issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68802 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:17:54 +0000 Mrsbells 68802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont like pantyliners because I dont feel as fresh when I wear them. They definitely dont allow as much air to circulate as my regular cotton underwear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68791 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:05:44 +0000 Alivoo01 68791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought about that, but it makes sense! And Mrs. Bee's comment gave me the chills - reality! Ew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68790 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:05:21 +0000 Andrea 68790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: i always wear cotton undies. i guess i will change them a few times a day if need be? LOL. i need more underwear if this is the case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68787 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:03:29 +0000 daniellemybelle 68787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think "evil" might be a bit strong :) but it IS important to let everything breathe down there. I've found that (TMI alert) "stuff" sits on top of underwear that is a material other than cotton much more than regular cotton undies, which tend to absorb discharge and/or let it kind of breathe through. Maybe it won't bother you as much if you wear cotton undies that breathe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68736 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:22:21 +0000 chopsuey 68736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore pantiliners only when I was spotting. Haha so funny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-pantiliners-evil#post-68734 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:20:40 +0000 MegWag 68734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been a fan of pantyliners, personally. I think the idea that the vagina is self-cleaning/regulating is an important one. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and haven't used them at all, but I guess everyone is different "down there" during their pregnancies (and in the rest of life too). Heck, I'm still wearing my thongs! </p>
