CareFree Pantyliners
At the end of the time of the month when it is not heavy enough for a towel, but you need some protection, and for times when you want some added freshness, I use Carefree panty liners.
=Carefree Range=
Carefree has a wide range of panty liners, the ones that I am reviewing is laundry fresh ... design. The basis is that even though you are wearing a panty liner your skin feels like you have freshly laundered underwear on.
=Design=
The package in this is a purple plastic wrapper, which has the carefree name and the type of liner on the front of the packet, whilst on the reverse there are details of the company, the address to write to in case of complaints.
=The Liners=
The liners are designed as being breathable and are dermatological tested.
=Price and Availability=
The carefree range can be brought in many retailers such as Superdrug, Boots and supermarkets, they are available in packs of 20 and above, with pricing starting at around £1.
=Discreet=
These panty liners are extremely discreet, they can be stored in your make up bag, in your handbag, no-one needs to be none the wiser, and they are also discreet to wear.
=One Size fits all=
The panty liners are generally all one size, although you can purchase the longer length ones.
=Wearing=
At first I was a bit dubious as to whether they would stick in my underwear, be comfortable, would they move, as they do not have wings, and a stick strip down the middle of the liner, but I am pleased to say I was worried over nothing, they are comfortable, they stay put, and do the job.
The panty liners have a soft feeling to the top of the liner, and they are gentle against the skin. They fit well if you're wearing, trousers, skirts or jeans.
=Tampons=
You can use these when you're wearing a tampon if you want a bit of extra security, which I have done in the past, although I don't get on with tampons.
=Leakages=
These are not designed for heavy bleeding or a leak of you have a cough or a sneeze, they just give a general freshness and I would say a sense of security.
=Would I recommend=
I would highly recommend the carefree range, I personally like the cotton fresh, as it feels fresh against my skin. I don't use them every day, but a box will last a couple of months.
=Disposal=
When you have finished with the liner you can use the wrapper from the next one to dispose of within a sanitary bin, or a rubbish bin. I dispose of mine within a nappy bag or a sanitary bag.

CareFree Pantyliners

*Note that this review discusses sensitive, lady business and the lovely men on here may wish to look away lol*
~Carefree Pantyliners~
Carefree is a range of pantyliners. A pantyliner is designed to be stuck to your underwear to keep you fresh 'down there'. The Carefree range of pantyliners is quite extensive but ... not to the same extent as leading brand Always. There are different sizes and thicknesses available. I will be focussing my attention on the Carefree pantyliners with cotton extract.
These pantyliners are presented in a pink box and each liner is individually wrapped. These pantyliners are marketed as giving the feeling of wearing cotton underwear. They are unscented but an scented version is available. They are described as being breathable and are dermatologically tested.
~Price and Availability~
Carefree pantyliners are available from supermarkets and stores such as Boots and Wilkos. Current prices for the cotton version are as follows :
*Boots - £1.05 (20pk) or £2.79 (58pk)
*Tesco - £1.00 (20pk) or £1.85 (34pk)
~My Thoughts~
Since having my son nearly five years ago, things down below have never quite returned to normal - I'm sure many woman can relate. It isn't pleasant but I have learned to live with it. When I confided in my Mum, she recommended using pantyliners to keep me feeling fresher on a day to day basis or as and when I felt I needed them. I use tampons during my time of the month but these are more suited to keeping me fresh the rest of the month.
These pantyliners are easy to transport due to being wrapped individually. They are practical and discreet to use compared to large, bulky sanitary pads that I had to wear as a teenager or after having my son. Each pantyliner is neatly folded and features a flower design tab over the sticky area. They fix neatly into my underwear and do not look bulky. They stick well and remain secure even if I am doing exercise or general household chores. They do not have wings and they are a one size fits all product though bigger pantyliners/pads are available in this range.
These pantyliners have a soft surface which is very gentle against sensitive parts and have no scent - no irritation there. They are slim and I can't really tell that I am wearing them. These liners suit my needs well but I do prefer Always as I feel they have a better fit in my underwear. These pantyliners aren't suitable for heavy bleeding or leakages. They are perfect for keeping me fresh and clean feeling down there and absorb any light leakages. I use them during the heavier days of my period alongside a tampon 'just in case' and also when I think Mother Nature is gone but I'm not certain. The ladies will know what I mean! They are breathable and comfortable to wear.
~Conclusion~
These pantyliners perform well at keeping me feeling clean and fresh. They are comfortable to wear and easy to change as and when I need to change them through the day. They can be wrapped up again and disposed of in a sanitary bin or with regular rubbish. I find a box lasts me a month or so as I don't always feel the need to wear them. They give me a bit more confidence when out and about and I can recommend them to those who need a little extra protection and aren't expensive either.
Thanks for reading :)

Always Daily Panytliners
by MsTricia
~ Sorry guys, going to talk about some lady stuff here! ~
Usually in terms of using sanitary products I have to confess I am not a particularly loyal person, and usually use what is on offer, (i.e. with pads etc) but for some reason with pantyliners I have just always been more drawn to using Always as they are pretty cheap, ... are easily available and do the job well. Often for at least 2 days after my period I find I have quite a lot of discharge and although I have been to the doctors about it, I have been told it is nothing out of the ordinary and I am fine down there. However, I don't like the feeling and since I can't change my knickers every hour or so, I took the initiative some time ago to just start wearing pantyliners and since doing so these have been brilliant.
A box of 20 daily pantyliners, only costs £1.05 in Superdrug (although I can often spot a box in the 99p store saving a whopping 6p, hoorah!) which to me is really good value for a name brand variety of pantyliners. Inside the box, they are all neatly and individually wrapped making it really easy to just take one at a time, and discreetly keep one in my handbag at all times for when I am out and about.
The box states that "Only Always pantyliners have this unique combination of technology: Side protection zones, 2in1 soft, optimal hold, flexible, dermatologically tested, odour protection and breathable." Now, without going into fancy technological detail I have to say that these pantyliners have really been fabulous. They are really sticky and so adhere to my underwear easily, and more often than not I completely forget they are there as I don't get that awful feeling when walking when I can feel it rubbing between my legs or it moving around like I have experienced with really cheap brands in the past. I don't find I need to change these often because they have great absorption and (trying not to be gross here!) although my discharge can feel quite thick with no pantyliner, when I wear one pantyliner, it can last me a good 4 hours and feels like there is no leakage. There is no awful smell, thanks to absorbing pearls and I feel relatively dry for ages which is a plus.
Overall, I have had absolutely no problems with these pantyliners and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Sure they are more expensive than some supermarket own brand versions, but for these I do think paying a little bit more is worth it for the protection and providing a long lasting, fresh feeling that lasts all day.
