It said they are all new and improved, thin pads, colored belts, etc. Has anyone tried them? It says sales have skyrocketed among younger women who use pads. There must be some advantage or they wouln't be selling... any ideas? Thinking of trying them out.

I've been using them for about a year now. Used stickon type since I started, but the belts are WAY better. Hold in place, firm, secure, etc. The belts are hidden too - even under tight clothes.
Tampons almost killed my sister - even though she was using them as instructed. Not interested in dying - and women have been using pads just fine since forever.
I think many of the women here are:
- old and only remember the OLD belts. Technology must have improved.
- use tampons so already hate pads - so I am not sure why they are chiming in... kind of elitest tone to their comments.
- have never used belts and are totally have no idea of they work or not.
Try the belts - they work!

I read that several months ago. I can't see why with the current pads available (stick on and go). Maybe because they are easier to keep in place when you are wearing a thong. I don't see how those thong panty liners are much good. But a belt with a pad that would work.

I doubt if they're selling - it might just be a marketing ploy. Most sanitary napkins have an adhesive strip because history has shown them to work better than a belt. Can't believe everything you read about products - the manufacturer most likely offered $$$$ to publish that article.

Tampons are great, but I preferred to use belts overnight and tampons during the day. At one time, there was an outbreak of toxic shock syndrome among young women who were not changing tampons frequently enough.

Yeah. Having nasty, sticky, fishy menstrual blood all over the outside of you while sweating in the sun, wearing a bikini or other short summer outfit, is just THE IN THING with the hip crowd!

Can't imagine why anyone would want to wear them. Couldn't stand them when there was no other method. Finally started using safety pins before they put the sticky stuff on the back.

Well, let me tell you, that's one part of the Good Old Days I don't miss. Give me a tampon any day. . . . thin pads, colored belts, it doesn't matter, still nasty.

We ladies have come a long ways baby! I hated those things, they smell, they are uncomfortable.
