I’m so intrigued by period pants but hate the idea of not feeling fresh, even if there is no odour or dampness. I HATED pads and started using tampons pretty much straight away, then got a cup last year (Diva Cup) and honestly I couldn’t go back. I never realised the low level discomfort I’d had from tampons every month for over 15 years until it was gone.
Sometimes it’s a faff to change in public loos not being able to rinse it or trying to get it back into position in a narrow cubicle so I do carry emergency tampons just in case but so far, so good!
