you have been doing this for ten years. it is now a well-established habit. you don't need to do this of course. your vagina or your urinary bladder should not be leaking fluid or creating moisture to the point where you need "protection". this habit most likely stared when you first "estrogenized" - started having estrogen. this caused a mucous discharge that may have freaked out a little girl thinking she would have an embarrassing wet spot. use a light panty shield like you use for your period and i think you will find it dry most of the time. perhaps this will give you the confidence to stop this little girl habit that you can't seem to stop. if you are getting an unusual amount of moisture see your gynecologist for a careful exam to determine the reason.
i've been neatly folding toilet paper and placing it between my labi since i was eleven. it's been 10 yrs is it normal? . i've been doing this since i was 11. at first it was because of discharge but know i just can't seem to stop. its like i don't trust myself without paper being there.
