There are so many pantiliners, tampons and pads to choose from. What are they all for and where do I start?
If you've ever been overwhelmed while looking at the wall of feminine hygiene products at the drugstore you’re not alone. So, where do you begin?
When it comes to choosing the right product, just remember to go with your flow. Consider how your flow changes as your period progresses over time. For most women, it tends to be light at the very beginning and you may want to start with a liner. As your flow increases, you might move onto using a tampon or a pad. Make sure you change your tampons every 4 to 8 hours. Tampons can be worn overnight for up to 8 hours. You may choose an overnight pad or a long pad at bedtime during your heaviest flow or you may prefer a super or super plus absorbency tampon for overnight (per manufacturer’s directions do not use a single tampon for over 8 hours). It all depends. If you’re involved in activities like playing sports, you’ll want a liner, pad or a tampon that will support and protect you as you move your body around. Sometimes it’s just about what feels comfortable. You’re the expert on your own body, so experiment and find out what’s right for you.
How do I choose the right absorbency?
If your flow is light to medium, try regular absorbency. If medium to heavy, try using a super absorbency. Your flow can change during a cycle, so you may find you need to switch absorbencies when it's time to change your tampon. Always use the lowest absorbency you need to control your flow.
