How to choose the right size of PAD?
What is the way to choose the right size of pad to support your activities and outfit, meanwhile bringing you confidence and comfort? We suggest you to identify what you general period flow is, for instance, how much do you bleed on day one compared to day three. This would help you determine which size is more suitable for your flow and how often you will need to change your pad. It is common that some women experience excessive flow during the first three days of their period and then consequently get to moderate or medium flow. For women like that, we suggest you purchase a large size of sanitary napkins, with four wings and a broad bottom to cover you from staining yourself.
It is common to experience fluctuating flow due to changes in your diet, but it is completely normal. We suggest you keep a packet of medium size sanitary napkins for situations like this. Girls, always carry a medium-size pad with you because the only sad thing about the period is that the blood does not wait to say goodbye to escape from your vagina. You know that they bolt right out without any warning, right?
