What Are Extra-Long Panty Liners?
As you may already know, panty liners are thinner versions of the menstrual pads worn during your regular period. They're very slim, which makes them feel less intrusive and uncomfortable.
While not recommended for your heaviest-flow days, panty liners can catch minor mid-cycle discharge and the spotting you're likely to have at or near the end of your period. They can also protect your undergarments from small amounts of urine or normal vaginal perspiration that may otherwise be an issue for some women.
Extra-long panty liners add a bit of length over regular liners. This provides more complete coverage than shorter panty liners and adds a bit more absorbent material without becoming thicker and less comfortable to wear all day. Extra-long panty liners with wings have flaps to hold them in place in case the adhesive strip alone doesn't keep them fixed.
When Do You Need Extra-Long Thin Panty Liners?
The thin design of most panty liners is a feature of the product even though some sacrifices have to be made for absorbency. Thicker pads, such as the Always size 5 extra-heavy pads, can handle heavier flow days at the cost of being bulkier and possibly less comfortable to wear.
Between periods, however, many women switch to thinner panty liners, such as the Always thin wrapped daily liners, that keep them protected for 3 to 5 hours without becoming uncomfortable or needing to be changed too often. As a rule, shorter liners have less wicking material and need to be changed more frequently, while longer liners may give you more time between changes.
Extra-long panty liners generally work best when you're not sure you'll have time to change shorter liners when you need to, such as if you're working all day or are otherwise busy. They can also last through the night, with some brands offering extra-long liners with all-night protection.
How Long Are Carefree Extra Long Panty Liners?
Carefree extra-long panty liners run to about 8.1 inches, which is just under 21 centimeters. The liners' ACTI-FRESH material isn't cotton, but it's highly absorbent, and the extra length allows the manufacturer to rate them for 8-hour use, or all-day wear.
