Flo Health VS THINX

When you can't access washing machines, they are as easy to wash in the shower, or however you clean your underwear... Source: over 2 years ago

Here is what I use most often. In the daytime, I usually wear absorbent undies with a pad. My favorites are Thinx (shethinx.com) and Knix (knixteen.com) because they absorb a lot quickly and they look a little like normal undies.
