I used to use whisper for my periods in India. Been in the US for 10 years now and still haven’t found a sanitary pad that does a better job. Any recommendations on good absorbing pads?

Since dudes are dispensing advice on feminine hygiene, I do not want to be left behind.

My SO uses whatever Costco sells. I think it is called Always pads with wings.

Always ultra thin

I agree with the dudes here. Menstrual cups are way better than sanitary pads. If you have to use pads just for the comfort thing - always is always better. The one in costco is good for small sizes. If you feel you are leaking with those - walmart has varying sizes and I usually go with infinity ones as they have more absorbing power and they are thin. I hardly feel weighted. Menstrual cups are good but you have to be careful to change on time as they can cause UTI and septic if not changed on time.

I started using cloth sanitary pads during the pandemic WFH and I will not ever go back to the disposable ones.. They are super convenient, good for the body (no more rashes), and good for the environment..

My husband drove me nuts with this advice. I used them one cycle and made him wash the pieces of cloth.

I haven’t received a single advice on my bodily functions after that. We have also been happily married ever since

Always ultra thin feels consistent with whisper

Yes

Same here. Been carrying whisper ultra in bulk back here. Always comes close, but is not as great
