Every woman's menstrual flow and daily routine are unique. Choosing the wrong pad can lead to rashes, leaks, or uncomfortable shifting during movement.
1. Understanding Pad Lengths
Pad lengths generally range from 240mm (Regular for light days) to 305mm (XXL for heavy flow) and up to 340mm (Overnight for sleeping). If you experience stain anxiety while sitting in office or college, an extended 305mm pad with butterfly wings is your best companion.
2. Cotton-Soft vs. Dry-Mesh Top Sheets
If you have sensitive skin prone to itching, look for 100% plant-derived cotton-soft sheets. If you have heavy athletic sessions or travel, dry-lock mesh draws moisture immediately into the gel core.
3. The 4-to-6 Hour Change Rule
Regardless of how light your flow is, bacteria thrive in warm, damp environments. Change your pad every 4 to 6 hours to maintain vaginal pH balance.
