I use them for the last couple of days of my period when I'm only bleeding a bit, because they are so much more comfortable than pantiliners. I don't like using any kind of pads on my heavy days, though, because they get wet so fast and feel gross. But on light days, they're really comfy... they feel just like your underwear ('cause they're made of the same fabric and all). If you wear them on a heavier day and insert one or two of the absorbent dealies, I'd recommend wearing them with pants... they can be far too diaper-like if you wear a skirt, but with jeans they're just part of the territory.
