FAQ

Q: What is a pantyliner?

A: A pantyliner is a product designed to give you a way to feel cleaner, fresher, and drier any time of the month and any time of the day or night. A pantyliner is thinner and generally smaller in size than a full size feminine napkin (pad). Pantyliners are great to wear as backup protection when you have your period and are using a tampon. They are also great for absorbing wetness and protecting your panties from normal discharge, perspiration, small leaks of urine, and unexpected menstrual flow.

Q: How do pantyliners work?

A: Pantyliners are placed in the crotch of your panties and secured to the fabric with adhesive (sticky stuff). Pantyliners usually have three layers: a top layer, a thin absorbent layer, and a back layer. The top layer allows moisture to be pulled into the absorbent layer away from your skin. The back layer helps keep moisture inside the pantyliner, away from your underwear.

Q: How do pantyliners differ from pads and tampons?

A: Pantyliners and pads (also called feminine napkins) are worn outside the body. They are attached to your underwear and absorb fluid after it leaves your body. Tampons are worn internally and are usually inserted. They absorb fluid before it leaves the body.
