Sanitary napkin belts

This may have been addressed in another post, but I could not find anything.

do any of you great Zity people know where to buy a sanitary napkin belt? I have searched Walmart and the major drug stores and can’t find one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Ebay is an option, or try google and search.

I seem to recall seeing them either at CVS or Walgreens in the last couple of months.

Some ladies should know more about sanitary napkins, isn't it?

You won’t find sanitary napkin belts in any stores anymore. With the advent of pads with an adhesive strip to stick to panties, the old tabbed napkins from Kotex and Modess have long disappeared.

Even the highly absorbent pads meant for post-partum use no longer have tabs but stick to one's underwear. So finding one of those belts, you'd be looking at something from a long time back, most likely the early 1970s. Elastic rarely lasts that long, for the record.

Early 70's would have been about the latest they were still on the shelves. I was in the hospital for a week when I had surgery. That was in 1971. The day I was being discharged, one of my nurses brought me a little present. My very first/own Kotex belt. I was told that due to the continuing drainage from the surgical site and if I wanted to be up and around, it was suggested that I wear Kotex until the site was healed. On the way home, I stopped at the store and bougfht my first box of Kotex Regular pads.

In the mid to later eighties, sanitary belts were still sold as were thick.pads made to use with the belts. My college girlfriend used both tampons and pads and one day while shopping, I asked her about the sanitary belt. She decided to buy me one and the thick pads and had me go to class with the belted pad between my butt cheeks. I could barely concentrate on the class that day and as soon as I got home gave my girlfriend her sensual love enema before entering her back door.

In addition to sanitary belts, how about sanitary panties? Going back a few years I believe most girls and women had a pair or two of sanitary panties. They had the hooks inside to attach a pad and a plastic panel to stop any leaks. Almost like wearing a diaper. May have a pair or two for sale.

I remember having a pair and I also had a Modess sanitary shield. No pins for the pads, but a loop in the front and back to secure the pad. Does anyone else remember these?

Try looking around in vintage sites or forums. These things are so antiquated that they inhabit museum displays. You are not going to find a new one, that's for certain. The towels that go with them are probably even more rare a find. Hope to be proven wrong.

@slowhand1947 I just searched eBay, and guess what, there are some on there if you are not too particular about the time period. So check out eBay.

Proved myself wrong and fell off my high horse.

I remember seeing this when I was very young. I don't remember whete. Sanitary menstrual period products sure changed over the years. I'm sure today's products are much better than 50 years ago.
