Yeah that's kind of true. Even though I'm skinny, a lot of the time after I eat I get a food baby and I almost look slightly pregnant from the side... and tiny boobs
Everything is made for flat chested women! Even though the average cup size is not small. Infuriating.
It's not that hard we just want clothing that makes sense, have universal sizes that actually mean something and pockets....it's not rocket surgery!!!!!
Yes. What's your reason for existing? What's your purpose in this world?
Cheaper manufacturing, cheaper cost to customers. Winged pads are a luxury to many, as are quality tampons. Poor women like myself just have to buy the cheapest option. I live below the poverty line and have, at times, had to choose between pads and food. So end up using toilet paper wads. Hope this answered your existential query.

Seriously? I hate wings, and I dont have a single female friend that prefers them
I thought I was the only one. I hit myself in the face once trying to take it off. They are made to stick to your underwear forever.

I despise those wings. They stick my hair. (Sorry if tmi)
Those are very common in most countries. But still it is a mystery how the people who use them get them to stay in the right place. If I use a wingless pad that will probably lead to a bloody mess. With wings the pad stays in the right place much easier.

What???? These are really useful! I hate winged liners, it’s like wearing a nappy
Life before disposable pads was brutal. My grandmothers used to pin tea towels to their underwear (which didn't have elastic legs or waistbands). And tampons didn't exist. Count your blessings.

I have to have the wings, I have chubby legs and the pad won't stay put quite as well without them, that, and mess sometimes transfers on the leg holes, not sure how to explain it, but some months I think that my body is determined to make a mess and ruin my undies no matter what I usd
I fell on a publicity scam and I'm having to wear those, hating every single one. I only know one brand with wings here in Brazil and it's really hard to find the model in my city. I saw they advertising a new one, flexible and adaptable for all underwear models. And it looked to have wings on the whole side, it a flap. Gosh, it wasn't a flat, but a trap. The supposed wings we're actually parts where they skipped the padding (to save costs and charge more advertising as a miracle). Dumb me got 2 medium (40) and 2 large (80) packs. Finally on my last large. Thanks god!
IKR if i use those they up crumbled and useless, wings keep them in place!
I always used them because they were cheap and effective - winged ones are so expensive.
The only thing I use them for really is yall know the way that u put a pad on then another pad sideways on the bottom of pad?that is what I do
Sometimes I like to use pads with no wings because the wings on pads are really big and get all weird and scrunched up

Things that annoy me about pads/panties: So many modern cuts of panties are so narrow in the crotch, most pads stick out.. (disclaimer, I use digital tampons, always found them easiest/compact/least hassle/non-sticky/etc). Also, ones that ARE wider/better fit often have lace trim on legs which irritates shaved skin. All the low rise cuts also slide down hips if you're don't have a wide pelvis. Mu bf suggested I get braces for them! *lol* Seriously, I'm sure 90% of panty designers have never worn their products.... FRAGRANCED pads and liners: WTAF? Moisture/heat + fragrance = recipe for skin irritation/dermatitis. I have heard of people getting serious rash from them. (see also fragranced toilet paper/moist tissues) As for wings: never tried them but it just seems to be a case of sticky bits clinging to hairs etc.
i can't stand pads with wings and have no clue who on their right mind could use them, so you see...
THANK YOU !! Been asking myself that same question for 20 years now.
Girls with thigh gaps, I suspect :{ You know, the kind they assume we all are.
actually i don’t have thigh gap and that’s why i use them bc otherwise the wings chafe and rub on my thighs :(

EXAAAAAAAAAACTLY!!! I remember going to the store to buy some pads and I said I wanted them with wings. I failed to check because they had the same color as the package and... I just let out the loudest swearing early in the morning! Why the f*ck did they give me this!?
Everyone must learn about the DivaCup or an alternative to that. because of waste/toxic syndrome/smell/swimming issues :-D associated with pads/tampons
Still better than the half a roll of cotton wool attached to a cord belt that our grannies used to use (well, your grannies, my mum)
I reallu hate pads with wings. I don't (for some reason) get those.
That's just how they are. It's best for cradling and feeding a baby, not fashion.
Comfort is much more important. Sexy ones are just for special occasions, and even then not necessary: If someone is going to see them, they're either going to get covered again or they won't stay on for very long anyway and if there is someone who is going to see you in them on regular basis, they're not going to care if they're comfortable or sexy panties.
My period pimples aren't done until they've also colonized my back and shoulders.
Yes, everywhere, even in food. One time I suddenly started coughing in the middle of the night. I couldn't stop because something was scratching my airways. It took me very long and it was a torture but I finally managed to cough it out and it turned out I had breathed in a cat hair in my sleep.
What is the fear of not having enough clean underwear away from home? At home it's NBD if I'm 1 pair from extinction, but I need 3 pairs a day for a weekend trip.
Never had anyone ask me this in my entire life while I was purchasing clothing. When I buy gum at a gas station- every time.
i don't get this. she's obsessed with rubber stamps?
Just wondering.. does a comic exist on Bored Panda that is NOT brutally honest?
Anyone else here have a random stuffed animal to cuddle with at night? Also, as a 16y/o girl, when I go to the store to but feminine products, I’ll avoid teenage boys and men who appear to be over 60 because the teenage boy is obvious, but the older men are likely to try to make small talk while scanning your items. Men in their 20-40s are more likely to just scan it and be done, they are there for the job. Most females will see the stuff and not bat an eyelid so I prefer them, if not females, the middle-ages mature but only there for the money men, or even the self-checkout if it doesn’t read what the product is.
I can relate to most of these - fortunately, as one gets older, there are many (problems) that go away. Something to look forward to :-)
I think it's like Medusa: one problem goes away to make room for two more problems #beardedlady #hotflashes

As a woman, I'm getting sick of seeing these here all the time. Either it's the woes of being a woman or the woes of being a mom, human or pet. How about a thread of comics CELEBRATING something in life for a change? Surely there's SOMETHING about being a woman we can get happy about?
