All About Wing Pads
Sanitary pads are designed to absorb menstrual blood and keep it from getting on your clothing. The most common variety is with wings.

In some cases, thin or ultra-thin pads are used. For example, in the summer, so that they are unobtrusive under light clothing. And also ultra-thin pads are often used by women with sensitive skin. The absorbency of such hygiene products is lower than that of conventional products. Therefore, you need to take this into account and, going out into the street, be sure to have a supply with you.
Women who have heavy and heavy menstrual flow usually use the Maxi, Super, or Maxi / Super thick pads. These pads are highly absorbent and absorb intense discharge.
Night hygiene pads - special modification. They are long and therefore provide better protection during sleep.

And in the reviews, women write that, with a number of advantages, Secrets Lan gaskets. Healing oils have one drawback: they are not suitable if the nighttime secretions are intense and abundant.
Choice
The droplets printed on the packaging are indicative of the absorption. The more dark or shaded drops are applied, the more liquid the pad can absorb. On sale there are funds for 2 drops, 3 drops, 4 drops and even 10 drops.
And also the gaskets are subdivided according to the material from which the outer layer is made. It can be made of synthetic material and cotton base. Both varieties have advantages and disadvantages. Synthetics provide the best protection against leaks and wrinkles. The natural material allows you to feel more comfortable - the pads either do not cause irritation at all, or they are very insignificant.
Manufacturers use special gels or cellulose as an absorbent component. Cellulose protectors are thicker and are visible under light clothing. But cellulose does not cause skin irritation that gel can provoke.
Some models are perfumed, but they are not suitable for women with allergic reactions. And also in reviews of gaskets, you can find a recommendation to choose those of them where the adhesive layer is applied in strips, and not on the entire surface. Such hygiene products are more breathable.
Terms of use
Girls learn to use sanitary pads correctly from adolescence, with the onset of the menstrual cycle. The instructions for use are very simple, and the girl learns the necessary actions quickly.
It is imperative to cling the protection to the underwear with clean hands. Therefore, it is necessary to open the packaging and remove the gasket from there only after washing your hands.
Next, the protective strip is removed, glued to the back side, as well as from each "wing". Then the pad is glued to the panties, the wings are folded and pressed to the bottom. After these manipulations, you should put on the linen carefully, and then you should move a little to make sure that it is securely fastened and comfortable. Sometimes the protection comes off and starts to "ride", as a result, unpleasant leaks occur.
The filling of the pad is checked every 2-3 hours, depending on the intensity of the discharge and the absorbency of the hygiene product. Before discarding, the used pad is wrapped either in individual packaging, if provided by the manufacturer, or in paper.
Under no circumstances should the hygiene product be thrown down the toilet.
