Period Underwear vs Pads
Pads are the default for most women in Pakistan — but they cost you every month, can feel bulky, and shift or leak overnight. Here's how reusable period underwear compares on cost, comfort, and protection.
| Pads | Period Underwear | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Low (per pack) | Higher (buy once) |
| Long-term cost | High — every month, forever | Low — lasts 2+ years |
| Comfort | Bulky, can shift/chafe | Feels like normal underwear |
| Overnight | Can leak/shift | Designed for overnight |
| Reusable | No | Yes — wash & reuse |
| Waste | High | Minimal |
For comfort, overnight confidence, and long-term savings, period underwear wins for most people. Pads win only on lowest upfront cost and zero washing. Many women use both — underwear as their main protection, pads as occasional backup.
