When using a Sanitary Pad, one of the biggest concerns is whether it is full, especially when you are out or need to stay outside for a long time. How to tell if a sanitary pad is full to avoid leakage or discomfort? Here are some simple ways to help you better understand the absorption status of the sanitary pad. 

1. Feeling wet or uncomfortable

The most intuitive feeling is whether the Soft Sanitary Pad feels wet or uncomfortable. If you feel that the comfort sanitary pad is starting to get a little wet, slippery or uncomfortable, it is likely that it is full and can no longer effectively absorb more menstrual blood. At this time, you may need to change the new sanitary napkin.

2. Check the surface of the cotton sanitary pad

Most sanitary napkins have an absorbent layer. When it is full, the surface may become uneven or begin to show obvious signs of moisture. Especially after long-term use, if you find that the surface becomes very wet or feels obviously wet, it means that the sanitary napkin is full.

3. Detect color changes in the absorbent layer (some sanitary napkins have a logo)

Some sanitary napkins are designed with color-changing absorbent layers or indicator strips. When the absorbent layer is full, its color or pattern may change. This design can clearly tell you whether the sanitary napkin is full, so you can change it in time to avoid leakage.

4. Pay attention to side leakage

If you find that the edges or sides of the sanitary napkin are beginning to show signs of moisture, or there are unknown stains on your clothes, it means that the sanitary napkin can no longer absorb effectively and the risk of side leakage is high. At this time, you should change the sanitary napkin as soon as possible to ensure that it stays fresh.

5. Change it in time according to the flow

Everyone's menstrual flow is different. If you know that your menstrual blood flow is large, you can choose to change the sanitary napkin frequently, especially in the first or second day when the flow is large. In general, it is appropriate to change the sanitary napkin every 4-6 hours. If the flow is large, you may need to change it more frequently.

6. Choose the right sanitary napkin specifications

Different sanitary napkins have different absorption capacities. Choosing the right sanitary napkin specifications can also avoid the problem of "full absorption". For example, night-use sanitary napkins are designed to be longer and wider, with strong absorption, suitable for nighttime or long-term use. If you have a large menstrual flow, you can choose an extended or reinforced sanitary napkin to ensure that you can stay dry all day or all night.
