Have you ever worn 1 pad all day because of personal/financial reasons?

Question

Answer

If you go to the dollar store they have trial size packs of pads for $1.. it usually comes with like 4 .... I've had to scrape up some change to get a pack nd it usually last me a day. Sometimes 2 if I'm not heavy which i dont have a heavy flow anyway. I find it's not hard to come across 1.06 a day but i know for some it maybe . You do what you gotta do tho no judgement

Answer

Or if your low use tissue in addition to your pad so you have extra protection cause tissue soaks pretty quick nd just change the tissue throughout the day. Shit the struggle is real sometimes 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Yes, but only for one of two reasons: 1) I’m waiting for my period to arrive or 2) I’m using a tampon and just have the pad as backup.

Answer

I'm on birth control and dont have heavy periods anymore while I'm on it. I have dedicated "period panties" that are old and ragged 😂 on light days when I'm staying at home i wont wear a pad. I know a lot of people get grossed out by "free bleeding" which I understand if you're in public or bleeding through your clothes on the furniture but if you have a light flow it's okay to go without a pad for a while and let your vagina breathe

Answer

No but I swiched to the cup for financial reasons.  No way I could use just one pad a day. Might as well have not used any it would be about the same amount of mess to clean up.
