CAREFREE® pantyliners help you feel clean and fresh everyday – no matter what the occasion. Check out these FAQ’s to find out how.
1. Why do women use pantyliners?
Pantyliners are a great way to feel clean and fresh every day, and keep your mind free from hygiene worries that might come up during the day. A lot of women use them every day. Typical reasons why women use pantyliners are: normal everyday perspiration, vaginal discharge, daily underwear protection, a long day away from home or travelling. Just give it a try and enjoy the freshness experience a CAREFREE® pantyliner can give you all day long!
2. What is discharge?
It is normal for every woman to notice some white secretion from her vagina on non-period days. These secretions are known as 'discharge' and the amount varies from woman to woman. In the course of the hormonal cycle, discharge changes a little. In the first two weeks after menstruation discharge is rather clear. Towards the middle of the cycle (about 1-2 weeks after the start of a period) discharge becomes heavier. Until the next menstruation, discharge is of a rather creamy white colour.
If you notice a change in the quality of the natural discharge (e.g. any changes in colour or odour) or if you notice any itching or burning in the intimate area, you should consult a doctor, as this may be an indication for an infection.
3. What is the difference between pantyliners and pads?
Generally pantyliners are shorter, thinner and narrower than pads, and many women feel comfortable to wear them every day. They are designed to absorb everyday moisture and discharge; therefore pantyliners are a great way to feel clean and fresh for the days when women do not have their period. Pads are designed to absorb menstrual blood, thus they are usually thicker, longer and wider than pantyliners.
4. Which CAREFREE® pantyliner is the right one for me?
Pantyliners exist in several different variants, each designed to meet a special need. Some are extra thin and flexible, while others can absorb more liquid and are longer. CAREFREE® FLEXIFORM™ pantyliners for example, are designed to perfectly adapt to any kind of underwear, no matter what shape – regular or tanga. CAREFREE® ALOE pantyliners contain natural Aloe Vera and let your delicate skin breathe.
