HOW OFTEN DO I CHANGE MY PAD?
Like most things, it depends. Just so you know it may seem like you bleed a lot during your period, but most girls normally lose between 7 and 10 teaspoons of blood during an average period, which really isn’t a lot.
You may change your pad at least every 4 hours, but at the start of your period, you may bleed more heavily and need to change it every 2-3 hours.
You’ll get used to the frequency you need to change your pad as soon as you get used to your period flow intensity. But don’t worry: Stayfree® also offers pads with up to 8-hour protection.
The first thing to know is there’s no right or wrong way to handle menstruation.
Changing pads frequently is going to be an easy way to get around any fears of smells.
Ultra thin pads are a great way to get the same absorption as regular pads, but with more discretion.
