I don't get periods now i am glad to say, i am 62 years old and period free after getting them for over 40 years from age 15. When i first got my periods there weren't any stick on sanitary towels which stuck to your pants etc just towels like Dr Whites which you wore with a sanitary belt around your waist and you fixed the towels onto the belt via the loops on the towels not very comfortable. And the towels weren't the fushable type like you can buy today. I never had a happy period owing to the fact that i always had bad ones and hated the thought of them arriving every month with bad cramps etc. When the new type of towels arrived later on they were much better for most women but were quiet expensive i used to pay about over £3.00p per packet and i needed at least two packets per month. I recently went into Superdrug i think it was and their own brand of pads were 50p for a 20 pack and they looked quite good quality. I think sanitary wear has come down in price in recent years it seems.

I thought "have a happy period" was the tagline of the brand ALWAYS. I know both always and whisper are P&G brands, but the line was screamed at even when it was used for Always. I wonder what made the P&G dudes to take it over to another brand, only to end up being scorned at again!

You exist, thanks to your grandma and her not using contraception. Well kerty, I hope you are born a woman in your next life and conceive eight kids as well and feel the joys of delivering your babies the way nature intended:)

#15 "My grandma came from a family of eight. I say - YAY for contraception" You exist, thanks to your grandma and her not using contraception. Though there is a compelling argument that some people should not be allowed to procreate and increase their clout thru numbers. And why argue when it is done voluntarily.

Sure be like Nur Jahan and live horizontally. She had 14 kids. Nothing happy about being pregnant for most of one's life. My grandma came from a family of eight. I say - YAY for contraception

Deepti: On reading your piece on "pads", I can imagine the ingenuity of Indian women of yester years, in beating the periods, by happier periods: "pregnancy":)

My suggestion for you is an odd one but for heavy flow the best idea would be tampon + pad combo. This way the leakage is not as bad and the comfort level is high. I have mild Anemia too since am slightly underweight but that is not a cause for concern in otherwise healthy women. Luckily for me my periods are light and I have been free of pads for a long time now! I feel sorry for all the women who have terrible symptoms. All I need is a painkiller on the first day that rids me of all problems.

I've gone snorkelling with tampons, and it's been fine. For regular use, the best thing is a tampon-napkin combo. The tampon as the non-mess solution, and the napkin as the fail-safe.

eeks! I grew up in times when, not only was it hard to find any sanitary napkins but there were few flushable toilets around!! OK, I'm not a hundred years old! Perhaps it's got to do with the part of the country I grew up in. anyways, this thread is not about me and my life and times, so thanks for sharing this real issue with us.
