My husband planned 2 different getaways at 2 DIFFERENT times of the month. 1st time my period was right on time. So I was prepared and we had a private pool and a hug tub, NO WAY I WAS SKIPPING OUT ON THOSE! I packed the right amount too. The 2nd vacation was towards the beginning of the month this time. So, NO WAY I was getting my period, but I packed an unopened bag of disc's just in case. WELL GOOD THING!!! Sex is not messy, these don't leak and I can't feel it. (Nor can he.) I do have to sleep in period panties because sometimes when I shift on a heavy day it does leak. I could use a pad but I dislike it so, the feeling of a diaper so close to my nether regions, I do use liners but I use store brand they are significantly cheaper. I wish the liners were a bit more affordable.
