I use period undies, and overnight pads on the heavy days. Period undies are good, but the best ones are ones made from fabric - cheap ones are mostly polyester/synthetic and they cause a bit of sweat rash. The fabric ones are breathable, and I haven’t leaked once with them.
Ooh okay! I think I have some of those that I haven’t given a good go - am kind of scared to, but I shall try them when I know I’ll be at home all day.
There’s a quiz called put a cup in it that can help you find the right cup for you and also one for discs as well.

Not really part of this discussion but which are the good brands? I have to start thinking about this soon for Miniest and I want to have some in the cupboard handy for when the painters suddenly arrive 😳

I’ve got bonds, kmart and love luna, and the bonds are better. I don’t trust them on heavy days though because they leak through the side seams at the gusset when the river is flowing.

Ah, thankyou for that 👍🏻

Seconding Bonds. At Woolies they’re sometimes on special, usually just next to the pads/tampons. The cheaper versions are synthetic polyester stuff which isn’t great in hot weather, makes my ass sweaty and rashy, so check what they’re made of - any lace ones are also not great and will fall apart. But anything that’s fabric blend is good for breathability and longevity. I can’t remember the other brand of fabric ones (maybe love luna?) I have but I also got them from Woolies.
