Allergy to panty liners

KateUK · 06-06-2009, 02:32 AM

Im not sure if the blisters and soreness are caused by the sticky stuff on the back of the liner or the actual liner. The ones I bought yesterday are from Boots for slight stress incontinence. This morning I'm so sore.... I'm wondering what else i can use. I have even looked on line for muslin nappies (I could cut them to shape maybe.) This problem has suddenly worsened and I really do not want any embarrassing incidents whilst I am óut playing bowls.

I read in a frugal website posting that some people use socks such as children's or ankle socks. The fabric doesn't slip around and the cotton is absorbent. You could probably use a safety pin for extra security.

Have you tried to use some liners that are organic? I happen to be allergic to most of the tampons found at the grocery store or pharmacy, but I have not had an allergy to organic tampons. So it is not the cotton. It must be the bleach or the rayon that has caused my issue.

I must buy them at a natural food store or online, but they must be organic, or I too break out.

If you are using a pad with adhesive backing, it could be the adhesive causing the problem.

do they have a plasticky layer on top? I have used always pads and they are really plasticky and irritating. I've never gotten blisters or anything though, the pad is just not comfortable. Other brands are fine for me though. Maybe try another brand, or you could use your own cloth pads, you can buy them online.

Someone on etsy.com makes pads that are reusable. They are cloth.
