What do they need underwear for if they're always in front of the stove anyway?

Their underwear fits tightly but with some stretch, not unlike shapewear, if shapewear had a pad sewn into the crotch between two thick layers of cotton; converting to the underwear seems easiest for those who already rely on pads. There are a few different cuts, including high-rise and bikini. They're all black, except for two gray junior-size styles. After a day of wear, the product is rinsed in the sink and wrung out, then laundered or hand-washed. Sizes go up to 3X, although the company expects that by the holidays, they will go up to 6X.

So the skirt has to walk with Aunt Flo in her panties all day?  Like the dames I know need another reason to wail on me 17 days out of the month.

Yeah I heard the myth about it being a week.  I got the bruises to disprove that

Fark always is teaching me new esoteric words I'll never use

Dimity: a hard-wearing, sheer cotton fabric woven with raised stripes or checks.
Pantalets: long underpants with a frill at the bottom of each leg, worn by women and girls in the 19th century.

I could make some insensitive period jokes, but instead, as one who grew up the only male in a household full of females, imma just say:

Men of the world should be grateful the women don't all sync up at once.

(Sounds like a pretty good SF premise, actually.)

Too bad these weren't available 5 to 20 years ago, when I really could have used them. It would've meant not having to sleep on layers of brown or black towels, or having embarrassing accidents at work. Now that I'm almost 60, I don't "whoosh" very often.

You have to wonder about those survivalists who built homesteads with a bunch of guns and then put up ads looking for multiple women to reside there.

sympathies.  That horrible feeling when you're at work and you sneeze...i loooove menopause and I loooove telework.  I fail to understand how one pair of undies can last all day when one pad/cup/crampon only lasts an hour. Yuck. Yuck yuck yuck yuck.  Ick. Ick. Ick.

/ drives me nuts that in Hollywood they call big white underwear period panties. Only one part of the damn pants matters and it better be black. Real period panties should look like a black roll of toilet paper with a pretty lace or satin top in any effing color.

I'm not sure about the company in TFA, but Thinx has different absorbency panties depending on the need. Mrs. Kitty has... five? Six? Pairs and a cup. I know it also depends on the individual and when during the period, but one pair lasts the whole work day for her.

I haven't kept track of what I was spending on pads for her (I work at the pharmacy) but it'll break even and it's a lot less trash.
