Pantiliner In My Room

For those who don't know what a pantiliner is, please refer to the photo above.

If you need a description, according to wikipedia, a pantiliner is an absorbent piece of material used for feminine hygiene. (In some localities, it is spelled "pantyliner" or called a "panty shield"). It is worn in the gusset of a woman's knickers. Some uses include: absorbency for daily vaginal discharge, light menstrual flow, tampon backup, post-intercourse discharge and slight urine leaks.

Pantiliners are related to sanitary napkins in their basic construction - but are usually much thinner and often narrower than pads. As a result they absorb much less liquid than pads - making them ideal for light discharge and everyday cleanliness, but generally unsuitable for menstrual flow or medium to heavy incontinence.

Pantiliners are found in an assortment of sizes, shapes, scents and portability options, ranging from tiny, compact liners to long, protective liners designed for heavy vaginal discharge and light days (light menstrual flow). There are even styles designed to fit with thong underwear.

Disposable pantilers are made with a sticky adhesive on the back of the pad to hold them in place in the knickers, and some styles have 'wings' which wrap around the knickers, providing additional stability.

Reusable cloth pantiliners come in a variety of sizes, materials, patterns, colours, and absorbancies, and are usually secured to the underwear by wrap-around wings that snap together at the ends. Some pantiliners are washable. These are made of cotton (often organic), and can be washed and reused for years.

Now let me tell you the story of how a pantiliner end up in my room. I was as usual sitting in front of my computer rotting. Suddenly there were thunder storm and heavy rain. The wind were blowing so strong that i could hear my neighbour's door slamming. Then suddenly i heard something. I heard something flapping with aggressive wings. I turned to my right and saw an exhausted pantiliner lying on the floor. ARGHHH!!!! my first reaction. Then i calmed down and thought of the brightest solution ever. I screamed, " MOMMY!!!" My mom came in cursing whoever that abandoned the poor pantiliner. My mom gently took the poor pantiliner and placed it in a basket filled with adoriferous substances.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION ARE STRICTLY FOR OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE ONLY. THOSE WHO FELT OFFENDED AFTER READING THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT OPEN-MINDED ENOUGH.


I've always been wondering why not girls stick two sanitary pads together. By sticking 2 sanitary pads together, they can overcome the problem of overflowing. If you stick them on top of each other, you get a thicker sanitary pad. If you stick them side by side, you get a sanitary pad with double wings. Wheee!!!! I know it sound ridiculous and i think nobody tried it before. Why not give it a try? I've had this discussion with some girls but they didn't manage to convince me why it doesn't work. Can someone please convince me ?

Haiyo you went through such a LONG explanation before you got to the point. I was thinking, ah ban siau d zit?

Haha! Next time close your windows. And don't scream like a kid.

I'll tell you why. If you can stick one on top of another to make it useful thicker, it must be able to flow from the top one to the bottom one right? Then what's the point of using it if it'll be able to flow to your underwear. Those people you ask must not be girls.
