I've seen a LOT of posts here about the new sanitary belts being popular. I looked into it and spoke to my mother, grandmother, aunts and friends.
Here is what I found:
- Old women (40+) hate them because all they remember were those crappy belts and thick pads of a LONG TIME AGO.
- Young women using Tampons can only talk about how they hate pads...so why listen to them? They use TAMPONs not pads!
- All the other women that sqawk about the belts have NEVER USED THE BELTs!
So after 12 years of using sticky pads, I decided to try them (based on a girlfriend recommending them). Guess what?
- I will never go back to stickies!
- the NEW pads are thin, the NEW belts hold them snuggly in place
- the belts are wide, comfy, lacy and don't roll
- no more pad sticking to myself or bunching up
Much, much, much better.
Any other thoughts?

It seems like you're advertising for these things. What's the deal? It's like you copied your words from an ad, seriously. "I spoke to my mother, grandmother, aunts, and friends." I mean, that could totally be out of a commercial!

I'd personally much rather use my Diva Cup. It's a lot better for your health (not to mention the environment) to not put those icky disposable things full of chemicals near your body... especially in that area. Also, did you know that they are not necessarily SANITARY??? Ugh. Makes me shudder just to think about it. Anyhoo, Diva Cups and Keeper Cups are both reuseable and can be sterilized. Plus they last for ten years, which for a young womyn would mean probably spending less than a hundred bucks through her whole menstrual lifetime. Whereas with tampons it'd be more like $1,700. Well.. I guess I've said my piece, huh?

They actually bought them back, huh? They used to be thin and have metal clasps. They had to be washed by hand with an old toothbrush to clean them. They NEVER securely held the pad in place; just twisted it around so you worried about "accidents" and the metal clasp stuck squarely and sharply in between your buttocks during math class!

I have stopped using tampons (except for swimming) because of all the health risks but sometimes I hate pads, I will have to check out these new (new again) pads
