panty liners?

[quietann]

So a couple of days ago, I saw a blurb in the Boston Globe about a new cotton fabric for ladies' underwear that is treated with a antimicrobial. One of the advantages of this fabric was that it would "eliminate the need for panty liners." I read into this that (some? most?) women wear panty liners on a regular basis, even when they don't have their periods. Is this actually true? Have I, in my unlined cotton undies, been unknowingly offending the masses with my _feminine odor_?

um, without being too sarcastic, if your body fat percentage was doubled or tripled, you might be tempted to wear control garments of various kinds, at least with certain "clingy" clothes.

As for dress shields, I can see their usefulness if one is wearing a garment of some sort of fine fabric that stains easily. I don't wear silk blouses because something in my sweat stains them badly, but dress shields would be another alternative...
