Me: I’ve got these pads I’ve had for like five...
big same i am such a tiny person and its hard to find pads that arent uncomfortable and tampons are a HUGE no for me
It’s not something I ever see talked about that much! I’ve seen discussions about thickness and length, but width is just this silent assumption that one width fits everybody when it doesn’t. It so doesn’t.
(Do you get the pressure sores from the sides of the pad pressing up against your skin, because it’s too big and they sort of fold over and crumple? I get them most of the time. So much ouch.)
You have all the sympathy from me, especially since alternatives are expensive and require a larger money investment straight-up, along with the chance that these things don’t work that well! It’s a hard thing to find good, affordable, accessible solutions for when it really shouldn’t be a problem in companies offering a little more size diversity. I rather doubt this is experienced by only two people!
