Hi, very quick question. Does anyone know of any brand of pads that are for women and have a thicker middle that fits the anatomy? I remember years ago there were sanitary pads that were contoured all round to fit female anatomy. Can’t remember what they were called. The problem is if I have more than just a wee bit, it doesn’t soak into the pad right away and runs up (forgive me) the crack of my bottom, running way beyond the back of the pad, so my clothes get wet. Mortifying if it’s jeans cos they go dark. I’m currently using tena lady discreet so I’m doubling up 2 pads end to end with a wee overlap. Even so, it doesn’t go up high enough.

so basically just does anyone know of any brand that has the pad I’ve described.

Thank you ☺️

Sophie

I used to do that with menstrual pads - two to cover the area properly! There are some female products called "longs" but they may still not be lengthy enough. These are from Depend and Always. I am not aware of anything else that might provide the length and depth you need. I hope someone else might know!!
