when I wear pads, the adhesive usually balls up, ends up on the panties which then get transferred to my thighs and hands, and then it makes a mess everywhere - it gets smeared on countertops, onto toilet seats, etc. and is a pain to clean up …

any suggestions on how to avoid the adhesive balling up or this problem in general? it seems to be a problem with any brand I use, they all have adhesives to keep the pad in place in the panties 🤷‍♀️

made this post NSFW just in case anyone is squeamish about talk of pads and so on 😅

    Yeah i’m an Old Fart, so i treated them as tampon / cup backup or for the random last dregs. Period products have come a looong way!

    What country are you in? In Australia they even get sold in supermarkets now
