Tips for Maintaining Good Menstrual Hygiene

  • Use sanitary pads, tampons, or menstrual cups based on personal comfort and preference.
  • Change pads or tampons every 4–6 hours to prevent leakage and infections.
  • Opt for the best menstrual products for hygiene to ensure safety and comfort.

It is recommended to change menstrual products regularly to maintain hygiene and avoid infection:

  • Pads: Change every 4-6 hours or sooner if they are saturated.
  • Tampons: Change every 4-8 hours. Do not leave a tampon in for more than 8 hours to reduce the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
  • Menstrual cups: Empty and rinse every 12 hours, or more often if needed, depending on flow.
  • Period underwear: Change according to the flow, typically every 8-12 hours.
