any suggestions on how to avoid menstrual pad adhesives from balling up all over the place? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

when I wear pads, the adhesive usually balls up, ends up on the panties which then get transferred to my thighs and hands, and then it makes a mess everywhere - it gets smeared on countertops, onto toilet seats, etc. and is a pain to clean up ...

any suggestions on how to avoid the adhesive balling up or this problem in general? it seems to be a problem with any brand I use, they all have adhesives to keep the pad in place in the panties 🤷‍♀️

made this post NSFW just in case anyone is squeamish about talk of pads and so on 😅

here's a photo of what I'm talking about:

interesting idea, but I'm having this problem when I use pads with wings too, and I don't seem to have any problem with pads shifting whether I use wings or not 🤔

I suspect it's my body heat causing the adhesive to become gel-like and to come off the pad - how long I wear the pad is the main predictor of whether those little sticky gel balls are on my panties or not when I remove the pad, with overnight pads causing this the most and pads I only use for an hour or so being less of a problem
