    I don't use often but have some lovely cotton washable ones if i feel the need to absorb any excess moisture. Much nicer than paper in your pants.

    where can i get the above from as i've never known you can buy ones that are washable... are they expensive?

    thanks in advance;)

    During pregnancy is the only time I've used them because the name 'Slimer' comes to mind (or my knickers).

    I agree about the cheap ones, you find them in all sorts of places!!

    I have would have thought that wearing them all the time would defeat the object of wearing cotton undies to let the air get um .... to those bits. :D

    This thread has really opened my eyes and I mentioned the "gush" problem to someone today ! I really do ask some strang questions:o

    even douching with water isnt a good idea as it upsets the natural balance of the vagina

    Actually, I believe just water is associated with those same risks.

    I used them in pregnancy, because I was bleeding & spotting but didnt need as much protection as a full pad at times

    I do know of girls who get a lot of discharge who use them too
