                                    Many girls still have irregular
                                    periods. Carefree Pantiliners
                                    protects against surprises.

                                    It's not at all rare that young
                                    girls have irregular periods. It can
                                    be a surprise. It can also go
                                    missing for a while. Gradually a
                                    rhythm appears. After a few years
                                    the hormones have adjusted to each
                                    other and the period is regular. But
                                    for a long time it will be
                                    influenced by diets, moving to a new
                                    home, and sickness, which can change
                                    everything. But young girls can
                                    easily protect themselves against
                                    surprises: with Carefree
                                    Pantiliners. Because they are
                                    extremely thin and soft they're
                                    comfortable. An extra wide adhesive
                                    strip keeps it securely in the
                                    panties; they won't move or get out
                                    of shape. The absorbent material and
                                    moisture-proof underside prevent
                                    wetness from leaking through and let
                                    you feel fresh and well groomed.
