Sanitary Pads and Liners

Description

This guide will help you understand the different types of products available and how to choose the right one for every stage of your cycle, ensuring you feel secure and comfortable all day long.

Understanding the Essentials: Pads vs. Liners

The key to finding the right product is knowing the difference between pads and liners.

• Sanitary Pads (or Sanitary Napkins):
  • Purpose: Pads are absorbent rectangles designed to provide reliable protection during your menstrual period. They are worn inside your underwear to absorb menstrual flow.
  • Features: They come in various sizes and absorbency levels (Light, Regular, Maxi/Super, Overnight) to suit different flow days. Most have an adhesive strip on the back, and many feature “wings” that wrap around the sides of your underwear for extra security and leak protection.
• Panty Liners:
  • Purpose: Liners are much thinner and are designed for everyday use. They are perfect for absorbing daily vaginal discharge, light spotting before or after your period, or as a backup for a tampon or menstrual cup.
  • Features: They are discreet, often come in different shapes to fit various underwear styles, and provide a feeling of freshness and cleanliness throughout the day.

Choosing the Right Product & Staying Fresh

• Match to Your Flow: Use liners for very light spotting or daily freshness, switch to a Regular pad for normal flow days, and opt for a Maxi or Overnight pad for your heaviest flow days or at night.
• Change Regularly: For optimal hygiene, change your pad every 3 to 4 hours, even on light flow days. Liners can be worn for longer, but should still be changed daily.
• Do Not Flush: Always dispose of used pads and liners in a waste bin. Flushing them can cause serious plumbing issues.
