[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to start thinking about this too, and see lots of comments here and elsewhere about “period underwear”. I’ve never used it so if anyone who has can let me know what is the best type to get to have on hand for a preteen? [/quote] LOL "period underwear" is the old, ratty pair with the stains on them you wear in case you have a leak.[/quote]

Period underwear is absorbent leakproof underwear deigned to absorb upwards of 8 tsp of liquid. Some wear just the underwear. Some like it as back up to a pad, tampon or cup. [/quote]

Do you have any experience with it and a brand to recommend? Obviously this is what I was talking about, not ratty old crap...[/quote]

Thinx is one brand. I just couldn’t see my 10 yo using tampons or pads (I had a feeling they wouldn’t be taken care of in a hygienic manner when used) and I got her a ton of Thinx and they are great. She just chucks them in her dirty clothes when she’s done because they’re black and you can’t see any stains they make. They are a touch thicker than normal underwear but she has never complained about that. They don’t have girls sizes but an XS has been fine. [/quote]

NP here. They actually do make underwear for tween/teens! https://www.shethinx.com/pages/btwn

My 12 year old has started using them.  She's only had two cycles so far, which I believe were quite light, but she likes the underwear.  She was really bothered by pads and refuses to entertain tampons.[/quote]
