Girls: do sanitary belts really work well? They seem to be popping up everywhere! Anyone know what's so good?

Question

I have two Victoria's Secret catalogs that have them in lacy or plain, high-waist V-Shape or Hiphugger and in three color choices.

I have seen them in my Rite Aid pharmacy for sale (white only) and I have also seen two kinds of thin pads that attach to these belts. The pads look like ultra thin maxi's but have the little extra bits to hook into the belt.

...and lastly I heard two younger women raving about them on a Spanish version of the TV show "The View" - saying that they were the best - but not telling me why (I'm billingual).

Answer 1

I grew up having to wear them..they are the most uncomfortable, sometimes painful things of torture I have ever worn.@ times they get soaked with blood and show through your clothes .Never again would I even consider them.

Answer 2

I guess everything has to have a come back. But maybe some younger girls will wear them and be thankful for modern technology and realize what we went through before they invented pads with sticky material and wings. I ruined so many pairs of nice panties years ago with period stains.

Answer 3

I am so laughing over this rerun of annoying clothing torture. The sanitary belts are uncomfortable and not very practical. I will stick with tampons until something even better comes out.

Answer 4

They always have to come up with something "new" to be able to sell things. Believe me, people who grew up with them in the 1950s until they came out with the kind that stuck to your underwear found them annoying. They would rub, cause chaffing, go crooked. Not a good thing. But I guess people follow the fads.

Answer 5

They might look good, but they are really uncomfortable. they twist under your clothing and roll and just not fun. It's best to wear undies and stick the pads to them.
