Adira Period Panty Review

ADIRA PERIOD PANTY (BOXER) REVIEW

its been a month since I have blogged, kids were very unwell, that's why couldn't come and share this topic before.

I have a heavy flow in my periods, specially the first 2 days, which can be very embarrassing. I had the worse time specially in my school days with white uniform, I literally carried an extra uniform (just in case). I had a bad staining episode a couple of months back, and so I did a bit of research on the internet. I came across, Adira period panty. I was a bit sceptical initially, but I ordered, got one in the mail, packaging was nice. i ordered the boxer style one in my size.

I have used it and now I can say, its really worth while the purchase. I will be posting the pictures very soon. I used them through the day and through the night. There were no stains, on my dress and my bedsheets, even in the night.

The panty has a wide waterproof area, and also a small strip in the center, so the pad can be attached directly on it, so no wings outside the panty. This is quite nice, that also means I dont have to sit cross legged through out my periods if I am wearing something figure hugging.The panty fit very well, true to size, was quite comfortable to wear. Now to the main reason of getting it, I risked wearing whites, (which I never do) and absolutely no stain. I did leak (always happens regardless of the claims of the pad company), but no stains on the outer clothes, which is great.

They are snug, and the pad does not move at all, which is great, even when I went the loo in the day, the pad stayed in place. I did try the panties with the tampons (and I did leak in that as well), but the flow was absorbed in the first layer and again, no stains, which is great. As it is breathable, I didn't sweat inside, that was one of my concerns.

Inspite of being waterproof , there was no plastic feeling while feeling and touching the panty physically and while wearing it as well, the waterproof part of the panty, felt like regular panty even while wearing it. I will try wearing it with the wingless pad next time to review that as well,

Now for the outer look of the panty, look like any regular panty, except for the stitch in the front and back., I  have ordered the bikini style as one. This style does not have the extra layer to attach the winged pad, so the pad has to be attached like a regular panty. I would suggest using the boxer style for the women with heavy flow, they work very well, and the bikini style for women with low flow, for me the boxer style is better i was not as comfortable in the bikini style.

The only issue can be with girls is the price, but with the option of no stains and being able to wear any clothes, its well worth the price. These are highly recommended , I will give them 4. 5 stars out of five, true to size, very comfortable, no leaks, ok with white clothes, and no stains while sleeping as well, so big peace of mind. I think its a must in a woman's drawers.

I have purchased the slimming tights of adira as well, I will be posting the review in 6 weeks after using regularly, this time I have not been regular in wearing because of the kids, so will not be able to post a proper review.

ps: this is not a sponsored review, and is not influenced by anyone, its my personal opinion and experience. 

REMEDIES OF MINOR PROBLEMS WITH BABIES

Being a mother is not all fun and the sweet things everyone talks about. Its a roller coaster rides of ups and downs, it does have the fun bits, the worrying bits, frustrations and anger. Its a mixed bundle, specially without much guidance, there are so many times when you just freak out at so many small things. I have gone through tonnes and tonnes, with everyday being a new experience.

          The best way to take things are a day at a time, let the day pass, and tomorow will worry about tomorrow. I have always been able to cope through the pressure better with all this.

The small troubles and remedies, I will try to post one each day

1. STOMACH ACHE OF A BABY: Generally this is the most common problem with small children, this generally occurs when a mother who is breast feeding eats something which does not suit their stomach, some heavy grains, I will give a list of things beans, green peas, gram lentils, gram flour, refined flour, pizza,kidney beans. If a child has a stomach ache,then the crying increases when you put a hand on the stomach and gently press it, or it feels a hard. The remedy is ASOFETIDA , this is a herb , it is called hing in india, just take 2- 3 pinches os asofetida and mix it in about 10-15 drops of water, it will take some time to dissolve, around 5 minutes, then just apply it on the baby's stomach, the stomach will relax in about 30 minutes, its safe, and also has no side effects and it is also as it is applied locally it is safest.

 If anyone needs any suggestions on anymore food I will post more. There is a herbal remedy about it, an ayurvedic one, I will post it if anyone needs it, but generally the herbs are found in India.

DISPOSABLE DIAPERS

I came to know about disposable diapers with my first baby, we were in the hospital and the nurses there used huggies, and she had severe rashes, then we tried pampers, coles, woolies, generic, branded, we tried everything, and pretty much were using only normal panties for her. That's when I did a research and came to know about the disposable diapers, I guess my daughter was around 5 months old that time. It took me a while to source where to find the cloth, how to make them took another while, and what would be the best one took a couple of designs to make. 

First I would like to discuss the diapers. i think they are great, having personally used them, my daughter was extremely happy in them, she never had a rash, very easy to clean, machine washable, even if she pooped in them, they never stained, and they looked so cute that  we match her dress and diapers. Also, they were much economical as I didnt buy any diapers from the stores, she learned toilet training much earlier and was completely toilet trained by the time she was 3 I guess.

I will put link in this post by tommorrow of diapers information on the web, designs etc.

I will post pictures by the end of the week of the ones I made and used for my daughter.

Also, in India, I guess I am the only one who has the diaper material as I got some imported for usa, so if someone wants to buy it I am happy to sell it to them, alongwith the design

PRODUCT NEEDED AFTER BABY

 1. Maternity bra :- They are a life saver if you do intend to breast feed your child, I have breast fed both my kids and it was very very helpful both the times. I have tried both local and non local brands, and they actually are quite similar, I did need around 6 -8 to get through the feeding time

 2. Easy Clothes :-preferably loose from the top, to easily feed the baby anywhere.

 3. Long, wide stole :- Its nice to have a stole in the diaper bag as well, solves lots of purposes, easy breastfeeding, to cover the child if and when required, also for quick dry wiping

 4. Diaper Bag :- its nice to have a diaper bag with different kind of pockets, comes handy in keeping different things

 5. Diapers :- Both disposable and non disposable (hand made from cloth) are nice, I have used both and I prefer the non disposable ones as they are environmentally friendly, and the size fits till about 8 months. Also they are economically, and the children don't have any rashes. They are not too difficult to make as well, i will be posting a few ways to make them, in my coming blogs.

 6. Snack :- Its nice to keep some kind of instant snack, like puffed rice ( spiced up accordingly) etc,close by in small airtight container, as a lactating mother is always hungry. i will post a healthy snack receipies as well soon

 7. hot water bottle :- total life saver, whenever you are tired, just fill some hot water and put on shoulders, feet, back etc for instant relief

pregnancy tips

Hi, I am mom again and I am sharing my thoughts and experiences as a mother and a woman. So many small tips that helped me, though I had to do a lot of searching for it, the first time and this time I am better prepared.

Some tips for pregnancy

1. Easy way to help with morning sickness is some kind of dry less sugary biscuits, like Marie, etc, if no biscuits are available then toasted bread does the trick as well. But they should be had without anything to drink, not even water.

2. Avoid jaggery (gur) as it does increase the sugar levels of the body, take less sugar.

3. Take lots of water, less water means dehydrated body, and higher chance of premature labour.

4. Try natural products like spinach, liver of chicken or sheep /goat to increase iron content in the body as compared to taking medicines, if taken regularly in the last 2 months of pregnancy, it does increase the quality of the skin of the baby, makes it quite nice..

5. Coconut Water is very good feel for the baby, if possible one a day.

6. Sleep well.

8. Wearing pregnancy support belts generally help to take off the weight from the back and redistributes it throughout the body, reducing back ache.

9. regular feet massage helps reduce the water retention in the feet, sleeping with a pillow under the feet also helps.

10. Staying happy and stressfree during the pregnancy, helps the baby inside to be calm as well, it does help alot after the baby is out, as the baby cries less, throws less tantrums, and is easy to settle.

the most pretty and adorable baby. love her dearly
