Change regularly: It's important to change sanitary pads regularly, ideally every 4 to 6 hours or as needed. Prolonged use of a pad can lead to bacterial growth and unpleasant odors. Changing pads frequently helps maintain freshness and prevents the buildup of moisture.
Proper disposal: After removing a used sanitary pad, wrap it in toilet paper or place it in a disposal bag before disposing of it in a trash bin. Avoid flushing sanitary pads down the toilet, as they can cause plumbing issues.
Clean the genital area: During each pad change, gently clean your genital area with water or use unscented and mild intimate wash. Avoid using harsh soaps, fragrances, or douches, as they can disrupt the natural pH balance and irritate the delicate skin in the area.
