I started using wings again because I'm trying to find a natural cotton maxi pad. I don't use tampons, and the other brands use these new dry weave materials that give me the itchies whenever I try to wear them. My primary care doc suggested that I try switching brands. So I did, but they only make the ones with wings. They are okay, but almost too thin for my taste. I'm still looking for the perfect maxi pad. Oh the things women go through - especially before menopause. It's not like I'll need these pads forever, but I want to get comfy ones for the remainder of time that I still have my menses.
