During menstruation, women use a variety of devices to absorb blood, including pads, tampons, and menstrual cups; however, pads are the most common.
Pads are absorbent rectangles fastened to pants to absorb menstrual blood as it flows. Some have additional material on the sides for added strength.
Pads are classified into several types: super, slender, overnight, perfumed, maxi, and micro depending on your type of flow.
For most menstruating women, a disposable sanitary pad is their go-to when it comes to period care.
Most young women learn how to wear their pads in their teens, and there is a common method; however, a hack ona TikTok has shown that we’ve been wearing pads the wrong way
Here’s how to wear a pad the right way
Step 1: Prepare the pad
Most pads have two adhesive strips: one on the back and another securing the wings. Remove the paper covering the adhesive strip to expose the sticky side.
Step 2: Use the peel paper
Instead of discarding the paper covering the wings, use it to temporarily hold the pad in place.

Ensure the pad is comfortably positioned and covers the desired area.
