Ladies: why do you think sanitary belts are on the come-back trail among younger women?

I read that sanitary belt sales have tripled in the past five years to younger women. They say the belts are in colors, the pads are thin, etc. Do any women here know of anyone using the belts? Do they work well?

thats creepy THATS LIKE 19th centry

They are absolutely fabulous! The new ones don't have any tape on them - since the belt holds them - and they fit snug, don't stick to you and are like a thong. Absolutely excellent.
