About products and suppliers

Shopping for period pads is not as challenging as it may seem. With so many brands and types of sanitary napkins to choose from, it helps to keep the following things in mind.

Factors to Keep in Mind When Shopping for Sanitary Napkins

Sanitary pads come in different sizes. Measure the size of your underwear and choose a pad size that fits comfortably. Absorbency is crucial with maxi pads. Choose pads that are designed to provide optimal absorbency for your flow. If your flow varies throughout your cycle, consider pads for heavy periods to be safe. Be selective about materials, some pads are known to cause sensitivities and irritations which can further increase discomfort during that time of the month. There are organic options, such as cotton pads for periods and synthetic feminine pads.

The Different Types of Feminine Pads and Absorbency Protection

Regular menstrual pads are the standard in protection and have different absorbencies and sizes for various flow levels. Ultra-thin pads are similar to regular pads but are thinner and more discreet. They have a softer and more flexible design, making them more comfortable to wear all throughout the day. Overnight pads are thicker and more absorbent than regular pads, and are ideal nighttime wear. They are longer and provide more leak coverage. Panty liners are thinner and more discreet than regular pads and are ideal for light flow days. Panty liners also offer good backup protection for tampon wearers. Reusable period pads are similar to regular pads but are washable and can be reused many times. Reusable cloth pads are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Menstrual cups and waterproof period pads for swimming are alternatives to traditional sanitary pads and are made of medical-grade silicone or rubber. They are insertable and collect menstrual fluid instead of absorbing it. Period pads can vary in price, so consider your budget when making your purchase.
