Panty liners can be great for women who want to keep their underwear dry and manage small amounts of discharge. But how safe are these hygiene products?
According to research, panty liners can cause irritation and infection, especially if they are made of an unbreathable material and have an impermeable bottom layer.
Panty liners like this can reduce air circulation in the crotch area. As a result, sweat doesn't evaporate. This creates a warm, moist environment for bacteria to grow.
To reduce the potential harmful effects, make sure to change your panty liner every four to six hours.
Experts recommend using breathable liners that do not affect airflow and keep your clothes dry.
