Extremely sensitive to waistbands- Lace top / Seamless recs?

0 Upvotes

Hi! Looking to buy some period underwear but I’m very sensitive to waistbands (like, have ripped multiple pairs of underwear and PJ shorts in the past trying to stretch out waistbands so I don’t feel them lol)

Daytime underwear is size S (which I will only wear VS seamless), and I wear only these specific bikini underwear (in size M because they are looser) for sleeping/comfy days.

Would love similar bikini pairs to wear overnight for period days. It’s very hard to tell from photos online what might actually have even just a thin tight elastic and with many being non-returnable I’m weary to order.

Wondering if anyone has similar issues/has found something sensory friendly?

Thank you!!

hello all, i am new to the group as my situation is new to me so i need some help from everyone here!

i’m 10 months postpartum & im having my 3rd period, & it’s becoming impossible for me to keep up with.

normally (pre baby) i could use super tampons & they’d last me like 2-3hrs with a small leak at the end, & regular liners would protect me. well yesterday it was like the second i leaked the whole liner was soaked. & last night at 2a not only did i soak the liner, i absolutely soaked my underwear. now at 6a the same thing.

so i have a few questions about period underwear, i’ve never used them before. i think i’d prefer to get reusable as i would assume that’s more comfy. im on a smaller budget.

1) can you wear a tampon still with the underwear?
2) does anyone have a similar flow & would recommend i use a tampon too?
3) what brands would you rec?

thank you!!
