Panty liners are a type of absorbent pad that is thinner and smaller than a regular menstrual pad. They are designed to be worn in the underwear to absorb vaginal discharge, or light menstrual flow.

Panty liners are the first choice for girls who are just starting their periods and may experience irregular spotting or discharge.

Panty liners are also the best choice for women who experience light discharge between periods or at the beginning or end of their menstrual cycle. They can also provide a sense of cleanliness and freshness throughout the day.

Whether to use a pad with wings or no wings is a personal preference, but many women find that pads with wings offer better protection and a more secure fit. Wings are flaps on the sides of the pad that fold over the edges of the underwear, keeping the pad securely in place and preventing it from shifting or bunching up.

Pads without wings can still be effective in managing menstrual flow, but they may be more prone to shifting or moving around, especially during physical activity. However, some women find pads without wings quicker and easier to put in place.

Many women prefer pads with wings for daytime use, while others may prefer pads without wings for overnight use when movement is less of a concern.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to choose a pad that fits well and provides the right level of absorbency for your personal menstrual flow.

PureDays range offers both options, with wings and without wings. It is worth trying out both options to see which one feels more comfortable and secure for you.
