Despite millions of women using them, it turns out they may not be as good for our bodies as we once thought

A gynaecologist is wa:rning against ‘panty liner abuse’ and why you are advised to ‘only’ use them ‘sparingly’.

Oh the joys of having a vagina eh?

If you’re lucky enough to be the owner of one, you’ll know the massive inconveniences it causes on almost a daily basis.

Whether it be the inability to discretely just whip it out to have a wee whenever needed or if you have periods, having to cough up money for tampons, pads, or indeed panty liners. There are, of course, benefits, yet it’s sometimes difficult to remember them.

You may find yourself regularly reaching for panty liners – better to be safe than sorry, particularly when it comes to the guessing game of when your period is about to arrive or if you experience heavier discharge at certain times of the month.

Yet, gynaecologist Dr Nicole Williams has taken to TikTok to warn why you should use them ‘sparingly’ and certainly not ‘every day’ given the impact they could potentially have on your vagina’s health.
