How to use Sanitary Pad

 

Menstruation is a time vulnerable for menstruating females and there is a lot to learn about menstrual health and hygiene. If you are new to the menstrual world, you may not know how to properly use a sanitary pad.

Here are the steps to using a sanitary pad:

1.  Choose you pad:

Allay offers eco-friendly sanitary pads, naturally encapsulated with hemp seed oil. We offer three different size pads that vary according to how light or heavy your flow may be. Select the right size that works best for you.

2.  Wash your hands:

Sanitation is the most important step. Ensuring that you have cleans before changing your pad is important as you will be in close contact to the most sensitive and absorbent skin on your body. You want to avoid the spread of any germs or bacteria.

3.  Prepare:

Clean your vulva area of any blood with toilet paper or wet wipes. Place your underwear around your knees so you can see where you are placing your pad.

4.  Open Pad:

Remove the pad from paper packaging. Remove stripping that is covering and adhesive.

5.  Place the pad on your underwear:

Place the pad on your underwear with the sticky side attached to your underwear and the absorbent size facing up at you. Press pad onto underwear insuring it is firmly placed. Fold wings under and press them onto your underwear.

6.  Almost set:

Pull up your underwear and assure that the pad is in a comfortably placed in the right position. The pad should lay directly under your vulva area.

7.  Wash your hands and go:

Again, sanitation is the most important step. As with any trip to the bathroom do not forget to wash your hands before continuing with your day.

How to Change your Sanitary Pad:

It is recommended that you change your sanitary pad every 3–4 hours and more frequently if you have a heavier flow. The longer you leave your sanitary pad the more at risk you are for infection.

Here are the steps to changing your sanitary pad:

1. Wash your hands:

We can’t stress this step enough.

2. Remove Wings:

Unpeel the wings from underneath your underwear and then gently fold them back into the pad.

3. Roll the Pad:

Gently remove pad from underwear, and then roll the pad into itself. This will make disposal easier and removal cleanlier.

4. Cover the Pad:

Place the pad inside the paper covering and remove strip from the top flap of the opening. Seal the paper covering.

5. Dispose of your Pad:

The paper covering allows the for your sanitary pad to be thrown away in any trash without any risk. Remember to never flush your period products.

6. Don’t forget to wash your hands
