I bought two kinds, the ones that absorb up to one tampon and the ones that absorb up to two. For washing they say rinse first and then throw in the wash. Honestly, I'd rather wash bloody panties than empty a diva cup. When I used the diva cup I felt like I was at the scene of a crime. </p> <p>I also want to get their Tushy bidet thingy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202837 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:46:34 +0000 PurplePumps 2202837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I use diva cup and have had pretty good luck with it. I've read that some people need to try a few to find their perfect fit and the right amount of stiffness in it for comfort vs ease of it opening up inside.<br /> Here's a maybe helpful size chart: <a href="http://sizecharts.livejournal.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sizecharts.livejournal.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202797 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:16:38 +0000 looch 2202797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dunno, I am trying to be accepting of using them as a backup, but I feel like I would be in the bathroom all day, checking them and what not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202796 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:14:19 +0000 avivoca 2202796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Which cup do you use? I've wanted to try them but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I don't know anyone IRL who uses one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202736 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:32:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2202736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would as a backup! We've all had heavy days where the tanpon leakes into the undies. and stupid pantiliners never line the whole underwear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202733 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:29:18 +0000 Foodnerd81 2202733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't buy them, but as a back up they would be nice, especially when you want to wear a thong (which I have not been tempted to do once since about the second trimester with my now 22 month old). Or on those heavy first days of your period, overnight, especially when staying not at home. I totally leaked all over my MIL's sheets the first time we stayed there- I'd pay $24 to avoid that! </p> <p>The pee ones.... Genius. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202704 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:17:53 +0000 blackbird 2202704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd use them for the last couple of days when I'm spotting but don't need to wear a tampon or want to wear a liner. I'm hoping Mirena takes my periods away, though! I should try a diva cup.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202688 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:03:41 +0000 getjazzy 2202688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: You can wash them. Sometimes even panty liners end up crooked and leak or whatever. And these are probably more comfortable I would guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202680 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:58:36 +0000 Truth Bombs 2202680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, woudn't use these for the same reason I'm not on board with cloth diapers. I don't want big amounts of period blood in my washing machine any more than I want baby poop remnants in my washing machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202657 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:40:55 +0000 Alivoo01 2202657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202650 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:29:07 +0000 pinkb 2202650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: totally on board with pee panties!<br /> Some of the comments left in the link, OMG, priceless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202647 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:24:07 +0000 mrsjyw 2202647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I would totally buy pee panties!! :P</p> <p>Not so sold on the period panties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202646 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:22:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 2202646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Ha!

Which was a year after I had my first kid so if that follows suit, then fall 2016 and who knows what they'll come up with by then! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202552 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 23:51:57 +0000 aderyn 2202552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't get past the term "blood diaper." I mean, that's basically what a pad is, but we don't go around calling it that. Ew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202544 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 23:11:13 +0000 lamariniere 2202544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider them for backup. I have a copper iud, so the heaviest days are pretty scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202524 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:21:06 +0000 getjazzy 2202524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would definitely love them as a backup protection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202523 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:20:14 +0000 photojane 2202523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, that sounds completely awful to me. The blood diaper idea is too much for me to handle. But, to each her own! I switched to a cup almost a year ago, and I'll never go back to anything else. I never leak! It's not glamorous, but it is LIFE CHANGING. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202520 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:18:50 +0000 littleblessings 2202520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try them. Just carry a wet bag around. No big deal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202518 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:15:43 +0000 mrsjazz 2202518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: right that's why I was grossed out at first. Like, how many times would you have to change them in a day and then carry them in your purse? Yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202515 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:10:11 +0000 ALV91711 2202515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would use them as back up but not as the main thing. I mean you'd have to carry around dirty panties as you changed them throughout the day if you were only using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/period-panties#post-2202510 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 22:01:57 +0000 mrsjazz 2202510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you guys heard about the new "period panties"? Basically they are cute panties to wear during your period, no need for liners and no more leaks or mess.</p> <p>I've been reading a lot about them. So many outlets are saying "oh you'll never have to wear a tampon or pad again" (which grossed me out because I can't imagine just wearing undaroos when I have my period) but the site says they are primarily for back-up.</p> <p>Even though they are pricey (to me), they would save money in the long run so I decided to buy a couple pair and see how it goes.</p> <p>Would you try them? </p> <p><a href="http://jezebel.com/a-blood-diaper-for-your-menstrual-needs-1708616536" rel="nofollow">http://jezebel.com/a-blood-diaper-for-your-menstrual-needs-1708616536</a> </p>
