Titles

I notice that there is currently a redirect from 'period panties' to one particular brand. I wonder if that redirect could be moved to this page and then the various brands can be linked from here? and I thought 'underwear' was more generic than 'pants' or 'panties, but I'd be open to comments.

Generic titles are better than brand names. See Talk:Sleeved_blanket#Title for a similar discussion. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:31, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request: Overview

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Add before "Julie Sygiel was cited by the BBC in 2015 as an early developer of the technology, with her company 'Dear Kate'.":

Aisle (company) was one of the first makers of period underwear (called Lunapanties) under the brand Lunapads.^[1]

Not done: claim is not supported by the supplied source, it proves that the product exists but says nothing about it's notability as an early example of period underwear. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 03:49, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The website is dated 2002 to 2004. Is that not an earlier date than Julie Sygiel being cited by BBC in 2015? Sandranomoto (talk) 18:35, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
