how many times are you supposed to change your maxi pad when youre on your period?? i change mine twice a day?

Question

am i doing this right??

Answer 1

Depends on your flow. If it's heavy, i would say every hour or two, and if it's light, maybe everytime you go to the restroom. Either way, be on the look out for leaks or odor.

Answer 2

You should find out for yourself.
Nobody can really tell you that, unless they know exactly what your period is like.
If your pad is pretty bloody, you should change it.
There's no right or wrong here. Just pay attention, use your common sense, and change it when you think it needs changed.
Hope I helped.

Answer 3

a pad is supposed to last up to 8 hours or else it could start to smell, also if you bleed more and it starts to fill up you will need to change it, twice a day is not enough, you can get infections, smell, or just get feminine itching from it... note im answering this on my boyfriends screenname

Answer 4

Well.that obviously changes depending on your flow however....it might be better to change it more often to help you stay and feel cleaner. Plus it also depends on how thick the pad is. Always change it when it seems to be bloody.

Answer 5

You change it as often as is necessary. Twice a day doesn't seem much, but maybe you don't bleed heavily. Change frequently if need be to avoid embarrassing odor or leaking accidents.

Answer 6

i'd change it everytime you use the restroom cuz you wouldn't want a dirty pad. depending on the flow you should use different types of pads

Answer 7

No your not doing it right. You should change it everytime you use the rest room . Or every few hours.

Answer 8

all according to your flow, just dont let it run over, otherwise 2 times is fine.

Answer 9

You've not had very many have you? It's really according to how heavy you are..Trust me you'll know..

Answer 10

I would change it every time I go pee.
