When it comes to the conversation around period products, panty liners can often seem like the forgotten cousin of the period family. This may leave you wondering “What is a panty liner and what is it used for?”.

While many people might think they understand what a panty liner is, there’s a lot to understand about its variety and many uses. 

Whether you’re going through puberty and starting your menstrual cycle or have had a cycle for years, the importance of panty liners cannot be overstated. Find out how adding panty liners to your period care regime will help you feel comfortable during your cycle, and help keep you feeling fresh. 

What is a Panty Liner?

Acting much like a sister product to pads, panty liners are a thinner and smaller version of the pad. These thinner pads are placed inside underwear to help you absorb light spotting. Wearing panty liners is also a great way to help keep you protected so you can feel confident. 

Panty liners come in various sizes and are designed to fit different styles of underwear, including panties and thongs. They feature a sticky back to adhere to your underwear and sometimes have wings that wrap around the underwear for an extra secure fit. Allowing you to feel confident and safe knowing that your liner shouldn’t move around while you do.  

The Balance and Clean and Secure liner range from U by Kotex® are designed to offer a variety of absorbency levels to meet your needs throughout the month. 

The Balance Wrapped Liners by U by Kotex® are intended for shorter wear; whereas the Balance Daily Wrapped Liners by U by Kotex® flexible and meant for longer, all-day wear. 

When Should I Wear a Panty Liner?

Panty liners aren’t just when you have your cycle. They can be worn any time of the month with the exclusion of your heavy period days since they’re only meant to absorb light amounts of fluid. If you aren’t a heavy bleeder, you might be able to find a panty liner that fits your absorbency needs. 

Sporty Days

As mentioned, panty liners are designed to keep you covered and confident throughout the day, if you’re an active person, wear the Balance Daily Wrapped Liners by U by Kotex®. These liners are thin, flexible, and perfect for light protection. 

Days Before your Period

In the days leading up to your period, it can be common to experience light spotting that may stain your underwear or clothing. If you’re going to a special event and plan on wearing light-colored clothing and underwear, a panty liner could save the day by helping to protect you. Keeping panty liners in your bag can also help you to be prepared with any surprise spotting that might occur during the lead-up to your period. The liners by U by Kotex® are compact, folded, and wrapped that you can easily keep in your bag for light periods.  

Last Few Days of Your Cycle

Like the beginning stages of your cycle, the last few days of your cycle may see you bleeding a little less. Wearing a tampon or period cup might feel uncomfortable during this time so add that panty liner to your collection to feel covered as you end your period. You can also wear the Balanced Wrapped Daily Thong Liners by U by Kotex®. Designed for thong underwear, these panty liners work to effectively absorb light leaks as well as move with you where you will barely know they are there.
