How to choose gaskets: practical tips

Pads are one of the most convenient and practical hygiene products for women during menstruation. However, choosing the right pads may not be so easy, and it is because of an unconscious choice that the fair half of humanity has to endure the inconvenience of leaks. In this article, we will share practical tips to help you choose the pads that are right for you.

Determine the number of allocations

The first thing you need to do to choose the right pads is to determine the amount of discharge. To do this, take a gasket marked "Normal" and see if its size is enough for you. It's best to do this on a weekend when you have time to experiment. Remember that hygiene products need to be changed every 3-4 hours, both to fill the pad and for your comfort and personal hygiene.

Remember comfort

The pads should be comfortable for you. Firstly, you should like the tactile sensations, and secondly, they should protect against leaks. It is also very important that you are 100 percent satisfied with the shape of the pads and that they are not noticeable under clothing. If all these points are not followed, the degree of your irritation may increase significantly these days, which will affect your work as well as your personal life.

Buy as needed

For a comfortable period, you should have highly absorbent pads for the first days, as well as a smaller option for the last. The issue of matching the discharge to the pad is actually very important, as it will help save your budget (the “super” option is always more expensive, and you need to change hygiene products often), and will also make you feel more comfortable. After all, many girls get tired of large pads in the first days.

Don't think that the thicker the pad, the better it absorbs. It's not like that at all. After all, absorbency depends not only on the size, but also on the components of the pad. For example, thin pads contain a moisture-absorbing gel-forming material that can quickly absorb moisture and turn it into a gel. Therefore, with a thickness of only 2-3 mm, the gasket can absorb about 40 g of liquid - that is, half of the total volume over the entire period.

We hope these practical tips will help you choose the right pads that will suit your needs and provide maximum comfort during your period.
