Title: Organic panty liners
Post by: lorrapaw on November 01, 2016, 09:50:58 PM
Im thinking of trying these as im not sure if usual liners make my irritation down below worse. Has anyone tries organic ones and what was the result?

Yes I tried them - the natracare ones from Ethical Superstore. I was partly wanting to use them because better for environment but also because of persistent upper labial itch, and pharmacist suggested it might be the scented panti-liners I use. I didn't like them at all because they were quite flimsy ( well the ultra-thin ones I always use and also smelt very quickly of stale urine - so it's a no-no from me. I'm back to my Always scented ultra-thin discreet ones!

You might want to try them yourself though - if you have such bad irritation from the normal ones?

Why use them at all?  The body needs to breath in order to stop bacteria forming.  When the vaginal area is hot and sweaty and then covered up  ::).  Or if the pads themselves dry out the area  :-\

I suggest you try 5-10 days without any liners and see how your vagina feels.
