I consider myself a pantyliner connoisseur. After years of trying pads and liners to help contain my interstitial cystitis (IC) issues, there are very few I have not tried. And one of the best I have used comes from the company called Brandless.
Run strictly online, Brandless sells everything you need for your home, office, pantry, and cleaning closet. Everything is $3, brand-tax free, and minimally packaged. The company also has philanthropy built into its model and donates meals to those less fortunate with every order. I have been a Brandless customer for a while. I trust the brand. Knowing what I know about pantyliners, I knew I had to give them a whirl.
For $3, I got 44 pantyliners (two boxes of 22 each) which is a fairly good deal. They are organic as well as fragrance-, chlorine-, and dye-free. They are made of cotton and super soft, which is always good because there is nothing as annoying as a pantyliner that crinkles or feels like I’m wearing a sticker sheet inside my underpants. They are a good length and have a strong adhesive, all necessary when I’m trying to live my best life. I do not like a pantyliner that bunches or sticks to itself throughout the day (like, what in the world?), and these Brandless ones stay put all day.
The first time I tried them, I was having a pretty leaky day, as I was experiencing an IC flare-up. I knew this would be a good time to test them, since flare-ups usually bring with them a higher than normal amount of leakage. They passed with flying colors.
While other liners may need to be changed more than four times a day during a flare-up, I only needed to swap these out twice! There was no smell, no lingering moisture on the top, nothing indicating I was even leaky at all. What was most impressive was the fact that I had gone to the bathroom quite a bit that day (another IC flare-up side effect), and each time I went, the liner was still holding on strong, in the same place it was before, ready to help me stay clean, dry, and confident. To say I was impressed is a huge understatement. In fact, I now recommend them to everyone!
For the price, these are really great, reliable pantyliners. The downfall is waiting for them to ship, but the shipping is quick, affordable, and there’s an option to sign up for membership, which provides free shipping on all orders—which makes keeping my favorite pantyliners on hand a whole lot easier and cheaper!
Editor’s note: A quick word of caution: Not all all-purpose pads and liners are good for UI. Period pads and UI pads are designed differently to suit their different purposes, so using UI-specific products is recommended—but you should do whatever works best for you!
