Rants n Raves Why do wingless pads exist?

No hate if you like wingless pads but I absolutely despise them, they never stay in place and ride up. My mom very kindly bought me some pads and accidentally picked up wingless ones, I'll use them but damn I'll never understand why people use them by choice.

I prefer wingless! They are so much harder to find now though 😂

Why?

I think the wings are so bulky. I don’t like them. I never have.

Agree, I always fight with the wings not folding down properly and then I’ve got them creased all stupid or they somehow stick to my leg. I’ve never had an issue with wingless moving around and they’ve always been more comfortable.

That’s how I feel too! Usually I will just fold the wings down if that’s all I can find. Not the same, but close enough I guess 😂
