Period Guide

The Ultimate Period Guide: Your Body, Your Flow

1. Understanding Your Cycle

A menstrual cycle is more than just "those 5 days." It is a 28-to-35-day journey your body takes every month.

  • The Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): Your period starts. Focus on rest and using high-absorbency pads like our XL variants.

  • The Follicular Phase (Days 6-14): Energy levels start to rise.

  • Ovulation (Day 14): The midpoint of your cycle.

  • The Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): You might feel PMS (mood swings or bloating). This is a great time to track your upcoming date.

2. Choosing the Right Pad for Your Flow

Not every day of your period is the same. Matching your pad to your flow prevents leaks and skin irritation.

  • Heavy Flow (Days 1 & 2): Use XXL or Overnights. These have a wider back to prevent staining while you sleep or sit for long hours.

  • Medium/Normal Flow: Use XL or Regular pads with a soft cottony top sheet for all-day comfort.

  • Light Flow (Last Days): Use Ultra-Thin pads or pantyliners to stay fresh without the bulk.

3. The 6-Hour Rule: Hygiene Essentials

To stay 100% fresh and prevent bacteria buildup, follow these hygiene gold rules:

  • Change Every 6 Hours: Even if the pad isn't full, change it to maintain skin health and prevent odors.

  • Proper Disposal: Never flush a pad. Wrap it in the disposable wrapper or waste paper and put it in the bin.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps reduce period cramps and bloating.

  • Track Your Date: Use an app or a calendar so you are never caught off guard.

4. Debunking Period Myths

  • Myth: You shouldn't exercise during your period.

  • Fact: Gentle exercise like walking or yoga can actually reduce cramps by increasing blood flow.

  • Myth: Period blood is "dirty."

  • Fact: It is just regular blood and tissue that your body no longer needs. It is a natural, healthy process.
