Period Panties Instead of Menstrual Pads-My Review

I tried out Pokarla Period Panties from Amazon during my last menstrual period. I looked at fit, comfort, how well they worked, and if they were easy to wash after using them. Check out my full HONEST Amazon Period Underwear Review if you're considering trying out an alternative to disposable menstrual pads!

    What about odor as you aren't changing them like pads?

    @@Gina19876 Great question. If you wear these all day without changing them (you definitely could change them throughout the day like a pad if you wanted to) there is definitely an odor much like you would have if you wore the same pad all day, but after washing there was no residual smell and you can start fresh again! Worth noting that when I say "smell", I mean you could smell the blood while toileting, but I was never able to smell it while fully dressed throughout the rest of the day. I hope that's helpful!

    I definitely prefer period panties to pads or tampons, I use modibodi and bambodi. They are very comfortable and feel just like regular underwear . My friend suggested we use them for my 11 year olds bedwetting because she said they can work for incontinence, but she leaked right through them so we went back to goodnites ( pull ups for big kids who still wet the bed ) and they are awsome! My daughter has always been a heavy wetter so I'm guessing that period panties work better for issues like LBL. Im so happy about period panties because they're more comfortable than pads or tampons and I can get around in them so easily. Great video!❤

    I've also tried bambody and loved them as well! As far as period underwear for bedwetting, I agree they are not made to hold a large flow of liquid like that and I'm also unsure if it would wick away the urine well enough to protect the skin. Amazing for periods tho!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

    @@DoctorNicole Your are very welcome! Yes bambodi is great! Yeah I think period underwear could maybe work for LBL issues ( like peeing your pants a little when you laugh )but definitely not the amount of pee a big bedwetting accident involves, but like I said her goodnites take care of that perfecrly! And yes they are they are great for my period!♥️

    You may possibly be having a reaction to the chemicals in the pads. Try always organic pads or something similar and see how you get on. Also if you have a very heavy flow try always size 5 or 6. Change your pad every couple of hours to avoid leaks. Hope this helps 😊

    Would you recommend these for daily use. Due to medication I have random bleeding and I do not like using regular pads they're very irritating would it be bad to use these daily.

    Yes, these could definitely be used daily! Of course you would wash and change at least once per day, but I can't see any reason why you couldn't wear these as often as needed.

    Yea you’ll definitely want to wash daily. With a heavy flow this would work better as a back up than as your main source of protection. When I wore it with a heavy flow it leaves a bit on the edges onto my jeans. Worked great as a back up for leaking from tampons and cups in heavy days tho

    Maybe going back to rags would be the best thing for women to do. I've learned these tampons and even pads can be toxic or cause deadly infection.
