The most effective way to wear a pad with shapewear is to wear the shapewear over your regular underwear (that holds the pad). This helps keep the pad securely in place.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Wear Regular Underwear First: Begin by putting on your regular underwear that you would normally use with a pad. Make sure it fits snugly to hold the pad securely.
-
Attach the Pad: Securely attach the pad to the gusset of your underwear, ensuring proper placement and adhesion.
-
Put on Shapewear: Finally, carefully pull your shapewear over your underwear. The shapewear should add an extra layer of security and help prevent shifting or leakage.
Why this works:
- Pad Security: Having the pad directly against your underwear prevents it from moving around as much.
- Leakage Protection: A secure pad means less chance of leakage.
- Shape Enhancement: Shapewear worn over underwear smooths and sculpts your figure.
Alternative Considerations:
While wearing shapewear over your underwear is generally recommended, you could also consider period underwear with shapewear. Period underwear is designed to absorb menstrual flow, offering another layer of protection. In this case, you would wear the period underwear first and then the shapewear. However, this might not be ideal depending on the level of compression you desire from the shapewear, as the extra layers can feel constricting.
Ultimately, the best method is the one that provides the most comfort and security for you.
