Several surveys have concluded that nearly 60% of women use the wrong sanitary pad size. Most of them don't even realise it until it starts affecting them in some way. This can be changed by revaluating your choice of a pad, analysing your period flow and correlating it with the type and size of your pad.
ALWAYS has always strived to prioritize women's protection and comfort. Wearing the right menstrual pad that fits well will help keep the sanitary and menstrual woos at bay. So, when choosing a sanitary pad, stay away from the 'one size fits all' rule as it doesn't apply here. You are not buying a pair of socks, are you?
Every woman has a unique experience with her period flow, and thus, the choice must be distinct as well. The pad must not just control your flow but also fit with your shape. This is the sweet spot that you should aim for when finalizing the size and type of sanitary pad. It's okay to experiment with different sizes, types, and even manufacturers because finding the perfect pad can go a long way in maintaining overall menstrual health.
