So, your best friend is using them. And also your cousin, the tau classmate, and more or less all the others. What exactly are panty liners and is it perhaps the case that you use them too? Read below to find out more …
Steps
Step 1. Learn what exactly a panty liner (or "panty protector", or "panty protector") is
A panty liner is very similar to a sanitary napkin, but it is much lighter and thinner and is not used on days when your period is very heavy. Do not only use a panty liner on days when the flow is heavy.
Step 2. Use them when you are waiting for your period to return or in the last few days when the flow is very light
Panty liners are comfortable because they are not as large as sanitary pads and you feel them more flexible and comfortable.
Step 3. Use panty liners a few days after your period, or for small vaginal discharge
Leaks are those yellowish substances that can sometimes stain your panties. They are difficult to remove once dry, so a panty liner is of great use. This especially happens during ovulation.
Step 4. Always keep a pair of panty liners in your purse if you suffer from leaks
-
It's also okay to keep a pack on hand if you're heading into puberty (your breasts are growing, your mood is constantly changing, you're getting taller), as discharge and irregular periods are common.

Panty liners are small enough to be kept in your wallet and used in the event of a sudden period. They are not very absorbent, but they will protect you just enough until you find a larger sanitary napkin.

Step 5. Discover the wonders of puberty
It can be really nice to find that you are maturing, but there are things you need to know. If you don't have a mature woman in your family, ask a friend, or the mother of a friend or a doctor, or a teacher. All women go through this period and many can help and advise you without embarrassment.
Step 6. Find and buy the panty liners that suit you and your body best
For heavy leaks you will need real, large-sized sanitary pads. Normal sanitary pads are fine for medium losses, while panty liners are fine for light leaks.
- Some women need longer, thicker pads for the night. Everyone has a different body, so get to know yours and consider whether you need a regular or large tampon for the night.
- There are many brands on the market that produce good quality panty liners. You can try more than one to see which one is best for you or look for complete kits of various sizes and shapes to get to know all the products well. These are very handy if you are a beginner and don't know which product to choose for your cycle. There are also specific products for girls of your age and in any case online you will find lots of useful information.
- Some have a light scent, while others are neutral and help fight odors associated with the cycle. Menstrual blood typically has no smell until it comes out, because it is only at that point that it mixes with the bacteria in the air and can give off odors. Many girls worry that they don't smell good, but if you change the panty liner or tampon every 3-4 hours and the tampon every 6-8, no one will smell bad. It's a matter of personal preference, but some profanations on panty liners can be irritating.
- Panty liners are often used as a support for tampons to contain any leaks and avoid embarrassing situations.
Step 7. Make sure you always have the parts you need on hand
Many women keep a small supply of sanitary pads, pantyliners, and tampons in the bathroom.
Step 8. Always keep a small beauty case (you can use one of the complimentary ones with the products or buy a cheap one) or in your bag if needed
Not only will the case keep everything together in order, it will also protect the contents from dirt, as well as avoiding embarrassing situations if someone is looking at you while you search your bag for your sanitary pads.
- You will also always have what you need with you.
- This is a good idea if you are close to your first period but don't have it yet. Better not to arrive unprepared.
Advice
- Prepare a small pouch with a sanitary napkin, perhaps a tampon, and a panty liner if you haven't had your period yet. Just make sure the guys don't see it!
- Don't be embarrassed to talk to friends or other girls about it. It happens to everyone. Panty liners are useful and protect your underwear. If you get your period, you will be safe for the time it takes to find a sanitary napkin.
- Simply ask your mother for information! It may be a bit difficult at first, but it's really worth it. Don't worry too much, that's part of growing up.
- If you're worried about your period, this is a good way to avoid accidents. You can wear one every morning when you get ready.
- If you're scared and nervous, bring a friend, sister, or mother. Don't sweat I think!
- If you are nervous when you have to tell mom that your period has arrived, invent a code word that means "my period is back" and just tell her, so that the rest of the family will not find out!
