Resilience of a panty liner?

Hi all. I'm plodding away at what will eventually become my first story submission to Lit. Want to make sure the details are plausible, so I'm asking for the expertise of someone who has used panty liners, which I frankly do not know too much about.

Specifically: suppose that a woman, wearing a fresh panty liner, gets aroused and becomes quite wet. Supposing that she stays aroused and doesn't take off her panties, how long might it take (in broad terms) before the wetness soaks through the panty liner to the point that her panties become visibly moist?
 
Another way you might get around it is to have her unknowingly wear a defective panty liner that leaks.

I did a similar thing in a story I wrote a couple of years ago where a girl is on her period and attaches a new pad to her sanitary belt (it's set in 1963), but obviously unknown to her this napkin is defective and leaks everywhere, and the poor girl winds up with blood stains in her panties and on the back of her dress, causing her much distress and embarrassment. It worked pretty well in the context of the story.

As fascinating a possibility as this is, it doesn't really suit the scenario I had in mind, which was more along the lines of "When the panties come off, how am I gonna show that she's extra spectacularly wet with arousal, even more so than just 'her panties are wet'? Ah, let's have her produce enough wetness to soak through overflow a panty liner." Granted the wetness could leak through a panty liner with a defective lining, but at that point, it's creating an extraordinary situation that demands some explanation, when all I really wanted was a quick way for another character to glance at the inside of this person's panties and see what's up.

The entire idea was based on my perception (misperception?) that it's not unusual for some women to wear panty liners on a daily basis for no reason other than to catch normal incidental moisture. But if that actually is an unusual habit, then the clearest path forward is for me to nix that idea and just go with the classic wet panties.

From what you describe, it might be best to stick with the classic wet panties after all. The scenario I described in my story was played for drama; the embarrassed girl is very upset and crying about her menstrual mishap and the girl across the street calms and comforts her, getting her a new napkin to wear and some clean clothes and underwear, plus the problem in that case is obviously her period rather than feminine excitement. The only time I would use a panty liner scenario might be in a fetish/voyeurism type story, where a female character is wearing them on the days before or last day of her period or if backing up a tampon on a heavy flow day, and a male character is aroused by seeing the used feminine hygiene products after she changes them. Other than that, probably not.
 
Much as manufacturers tried 20 years ago to persuade women that pantyliners were vital for 'daily freshness', almost none ever have. Unless they were prone to menstrual spotting and didn't want to risk stains on nice lingerie, maybe.

If you asked 100 women what the unsexiest word in English is, pantyliner would probably be in the top five. Just... No.

Of course with more understanding of plastic waste being bad, you can now get cloth liners - which would eventually soak through - but you'd need your character to be a bit of a hippy eco-warrior type, and have the spotting problem, or be experiencing the levels of wetness that sometimes come with menopause. Your average young woman is just going to have damp panties and possibly damp jeans in the crotch, which might work if you want to play with the idea.
 
Another angle to look at it would be is the accuracy really going to matter?
I'll admit if I read a story where it was stated the woman was so wet she soaked through a pantyliner I wouldn't think it was inaccurate in the sense it can't happen, but along the lines of "porn absurdity" as in everything in porn is exaggerated to the max, breast size, cock size, how every woman can deep throat 9" etc....

What I'm saying is if you want to go with it, go with it. Of course you'll get the one or two comments that will say "that's impossible" but most will roll with it.

I feel there's a spirit to writing erotica/porn where the anal retentive need to realize its all fantasy, and just chill out and not feel like they're going to win a Marvel No Prize(showing my age here, thanks Stan Lee) for pointing out something unrealistic...most stories here are all unrealistic to some degree.

All very true.

People can write about a sentient tampon from the 1980s and give it Prince Charles' voice as it decides it's never coming out again for all I care.

But, if someone asks how something would actually work I'm gonna tell them the victim of the sentient tampon would likely get an infection that results in death if it stays in for more than 6-8 hours at a time.

Well we all know when "Prince" Charles is done with something it ends up dying.

Good point. In a work of fantasy, no one bats an eyelash if the bounds of realism get pushed a little bit.

I'd reckon the connotative/emotional impact is the most important thing. Mondo cocks and tits make people say "Awww yeah," so they often work for the intended purpose. But if a soggy panty liner just makes people say "Ew why would she subject herself to that discomfort," that is very much not the reaction I'd want to elicit, and it defeats the intended purpose in this case. I mean...

Message received.

All of that said, while I am no longer intending to include a panty liner in this particular story, I'm going to reiterate my original question purely for the sake of curiosity, as it hasn't really been answered (not to downplay my gratitude for all the other tremendously useful info that y'all have shared, of course). How long might it take a disposable panty liner to reach maximum saturation and begin to leak during arousal? Let's say the wearer has just put on a fresh panty liner. She has no pressing need for it, it's just 2002 and she bought into the propaganda that it will keep her "fresh." Then she becomes and stays very aroused, produces enough arousal-related fluid flow to make you say "oh wow" but not make you say "no, that's absurd," doesn't produce a significant amount of any other discharge during this time, and is in a situation where she can't or won't change the liner or clean herself up in any way for whatever reason.

I get that it will still vary, but bear in mind that I'm such an ignoramus about the absorbency of panty liners that even a rough sense of scale would sate my curiosity. Are we talking a matter of minutes? The better part of an hour? More than an hour? Can we even anticipate that it will happen eventually, or will the panty liner outlast her ability to keep leaking pussy juice in the absence of other discharge?

And might as well add - if anyone knows, how would the answer differ if it was a reusable cloth panty liner instead of a disposable one, all else being equal?
 
I really don't see a woman's wet arousal soaking a pantyliner. Making it throughly damp, yes, but unless she's having leakage issues post-childbirth or something, your typical cotton gusset should suffice. The stuff would probably dry up about as fast as it got produced. Hygiene product 1, pussy juice nil.

I don't think even a cloth liner would leak just from happy pussy juices. However, being aroused and having sex can trigger the start of a period, if you want fluids overwhelming fluid-catching products...
 
It depends on the brand and quality. Soaking through just isn't a thing, but even in terms of how wet the liner is... I hate to break it to you, it's just not possible to be that wet for that long. The only time I've ever had a panty liner reach its limit before it's recommended replacement time (usually once every 24 hours, which at that point everyone should be changing into fresh underwear anyway) is when I unexpectedly went on my period with heavy flow.

Even then, it did the job until I was able to get home a solid 3 hours later.

Can I point you in the direction of my story collection? I think there may be some content of interest for you. Your feedback is welcome of course.
 
As someone with a bit of a panty fetish myself and enjoy stories that focus on them...


Leave out the panty liner. Nothing erotic about them.
 
There definitely are women who wear them daily, but if your female character is spectacularly wet, how better to show it than having her literally dripping wet?

From my latest:
"I can't think of Corvis without thinking of his cock," Lela said. "He was my husband. I didn't love him, not the way he loved me, but he was a good man. Our parents arranged the marriage... In bed, I was always nervous, never wet like this." So wet, indeed, that glistening strings of her natural lubricant were dripping from her cunt. "But now he's dead - or worse - and I can't stop thinking about his cock!"

Panty liners are like condoms. They're a reality, a necessity, but...these stories are fantasies and it kills fantasy to start talking about things like this.
I mean, hell, let's just have the Female lead turn down sex because she has her period, or better yet the guy farts in bed, or has to take a piss in the middle of sex.

I agree with the above comment of just let them soak through their panties, no need to add layers(literally)

Was there supposed to be a comma in there? Or is that all one scenario

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't realize this is more than a year later. Forget it
