How long do I keep my pad on for?

Okay, so you should change your pad every 3-4 hours, even if it doesn't look totally full. That's mainly for feeling fresh and clean, you know? Like, it keeps smells from building up and helps prevent any irritation down there.

If your flow is heavy

If you have a heavier flow, you might need to change it more often, like every 2 hours. You'll definitely notice if it's getting full because it will feel a bit soggy or heavy, and that's usually the sign that it's time to swap it out. Changing it regularly helps keep you comfy and confident.

If your flow is light

On lighter days, or at the very beginning or end of your period, you might feel like you can leave it longer. But seriously, still try to change it at least every 4-6 hours. It's just a good habit to get into for hygiene and feeling good. So, if overnight is longer than that, wearing an "overnight" pad that is super absorbent makes sense and you can change it right when you wake up. There are even pads designed for overnight wear that are extra long and absorbent, so you don't have to worry about leaks while you're sleeping.
