I have always been using pantyliners for as long as I can remember. While I do not have any issue with incontinence so far, I am a hygienic freak. Nevertheless, not every woman is so lucky as having light leaks is actually a problem quite common to many. It’s just that not many of us are open enough to talk candidly about it.

When Parent Reviewers offered our panel of reviewers an opportunity to review the STRIDE Everyday panties, I quickly jumped on the bandwagon. I was curious to test out these panties which come with built in  OQUOS™ patented fabric technology. It claims to have the  ability to wick moisture from the surface, convert it to a gel that is dry to the touch, deodorize and stay waterproof.

My package arrived last week and the first thing I noticed about the panties were how light and flimsy they looked. So, I decided  to wash them  first (please no hard scrubbing). I expected the panties to be out of shape after the wash but to my surprise, they were definitely not! I have to admit when I put the panty on, it felt really comfortable…..like a very thin barrier between my skin, not at all like any of my existing panties.  I also love the fact that these panties are seamless, especially when I often wear tight skirts to work and was afraid of visible sign of panty lines. 

To be perfectly honest, I was a little worried about the issue of odour due to not wearing any panty liner. However, after a full day of trial, it appears that the OQUOS™ patented fabric technology proved to be excellent. It was able to absorb moisture, deodorize it and keeps me feeling fresh and confident. What can I say? I am a believer in STRIDE Everyday now. Gone are the days I had to peel and unpeel panty liners off my undergarments and contribute to landfills.

Keen to try them out? Get yours at STRIDEEveryday.com for $19.99 to $29.99. Oh yes, they come in pretty styles too!

Disclosure :  I received the above products necessary to facilitate my review. I was not compensated for this post and all  opinions expressed are 100% my own.
