Panty Liner Hacks: 10 Brilliant And Surprising Uses For Home And Personal Comfort

Panty liners just got a whole lot more useful — not that they weren't important before!

Yes, they're great for their original purpose and we've all relied on them in a pinch, but they've never reached their full potential until this very moment.

Now, they're finally being seen for the amazingly versatile product that they've always been.

Their size and texture make them perfect for a lot of tasks that we've never even considered before — and we're all about it!

They're a great product for jobs big and small, and not all of them have to do with your personal hygiene. I'm telling you, we've been selling panty liners short for years.

So, before you throw away those years-old stragglers at the bottom of your bathroom drawer, take a look at this list.

It's sure to save you some money, time, and discomfort — maybe even on a daily basis.

And who doesn't like that?

All you have to do here is spray some perfume on a panty liner and lay it in your drawer.

The scent will release from the pad, but none of the liquid will, leaving your clothes safe and smelling great.

There are two ways to take advantage of panty liners when it comes to your uncomfortable underwire.

Not only can you wrap a panty liner around the underwire, soft side out, to relieve friction, but you can also use one to shield your skin from the sharp edge if your underwire pops through the fabric while you're out and about.

Hack #10: Sunglass Protection
