My translation
of the text:
3. No one needs to see that you're
menstruating. No matter how tight
your clothes are. Mimosept Mini is
discreet. Mini is appropriate for
smart, tight pants. It sits
completely firmly. It's completely
secure, completely invisible.
Buy Mimosept Mini in packs of ten
or in the new 30-pad economy pack.
