Pads and tampons irritate me so bad sometimes so I just have a designated towel to free-bleed on for a little bit. I hate it here man.

Idk if I’m allergic to pads but I can’t wear them. I get a horrible itchy rash when I do so I refuse to wear them. Ik you shouldn’t use tampons 24/7 but they’re way more comfortable for me. Haven’t used a pad in years due to that

I’m so glad I’m not alone in this! I have sensitive skin and heavy flow so sometimes it’s just easier to use a towel for a while

What’s the difference between a free bleed and a pad? Your still sitting in your own blood wether it’s your panties drenched or the pad or tamp?

I’ve seen diva cups and idk if I could do it. It doesn’t seem too convenient. Like yes you can keep it in for 8-10 hours but emptying it especially in a public bathroom. That would be messy in my op

Are you allergic to cotton? I swapped to pure cotton pads from natracare I can only find them on Amazon but the maxi pads are so soft and absorb so well

I’m not allergic to cotton but I do have sensitive skin. Idk if it’s an allergy, it might just be a bad diaper rash. But I’d rather change a tampon every couple hours and be fine then have to deal with itchy hives

The pad irritates my skin. It’s sticky, uncomfortable and crunchy. And I’m not sitting on a towel for 4-6 hours like I would be with a pad.

Preach. Also just make a better device that doesn’t stick to my labia or pubes, that doesn’t feel like a diaper, that isn’t a tampon, etc. etc.

No you didn’t… you asked me if I was a man and I told you I’m trans and you never replied back. If you replied back on someone’s else’s comment tryna direct it to me is where you messed up girlie
