my GladRags just came in the mail and my pad adhesive problems are now solved, thank you all so much! 🫶 🥰

(side note: the patterns are super cute, these pads are so soft, and I have found washing them by hand and letting them air-dry overnight much less of a chore than I expected)

They're great, I have some for nighttime when the cup won't save me. But they're less great when you're on a bike, thanks to the button.

oof, yeah - I can imagine any pressing directly down would be bad ... I just took a walk with them and luckily the button didn't rub or cause problems (probably only walked a mile, though)

I can walk with them just fine, and taking my bike to the supermarket is OK, but more than a few minutes isn't great.

But my disposable pad use is down to a pack per year!

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
