I came across this amazing online shop that sells all sorts of great things for leaky people. I ordered some interlabial pads for £12 and you get 4 reusable washable pads in the shape of a large teardrop. The amazing thing for me is that whenever I had any discharge they helped control it so well! They can absorb 2 tampons worth of leaking which is pretty amazing. I wear them during the day between my bum cheeks because i've been having some discharge and bleeding after my radiotherapy and they have helped me so much. It feels fresher and clean, they're nice and soft too so no irritation. I wear them as intended during the night so I don't have to wear underwear for a standard pad. No underwear has been great because most of my radiotherapy blisters have been right where normal knickers sit so they were rubbing :( With these pads I can just put them on and be free with no worries. I thought i'd spread the word because I had no idea these products even existed.
These are the pads I bought Click here but I would encourage you to have a nosy around because they have so many great accessable products!
Thanks for this HonkingGoose , sharing something that’s worked for you will inevitably help someone else now or in the future.

Thank you so much HonkingGoose
I never knew such things existed! I am long past menopause but discharge is a feature post my exenteration surgery, and I’m going to order these and give them a try. It’s amazing what you find out that you didn’t know were even a thing!
