Table of Content [Hide]

    Ever bought a whole pack of pads only to discover they're either too short, too long, or just not enough for your flow?

    Choosing the right length and type can make your period much more comfortable—and help you stay confident without worrying about leaks.

    Here's a simple guide to help you pick the best "little helper" based on your flow throughout the cycle.

    Before Your Period / Just Starting (Very Light Flow)

     

    Flow level: Very light, mostly discharge

    Best choice: Pantyliner

    Features:

    Thin and breathable

    Ideal for staying fresh before your period actually begins

    Note: Pantyliners are not meant for real menstrual flow.


    Light Flow (Beginning or Ending Days)

     

    Flow level: Light but steady

    Best choice: Pantyliner / Day pad

    Features:

    Moderate length

    Comfortable for daily movement

    Tip: Tsingway Organic Pure Cotton Ultra thin pads offer a softer, barely-there experience.

     

    Medium Flow (Regular Flow Days)

     

    Flow level: Normal, especially during daytime

    Best choice: Day pad / Day–Night pad

    Features:

    Good absorption

    Slightly longer length for added confidence

    Extra use: Suitable for nighttime if your flow isn't too heavy.

     

    Heavy Flow (Nighttime or Peak Days)

     

    Flow level: Heavy, especially when long-lasting protection is needed

    Best choice: Day–Night pad / Extra-long night pad

    Typical night pads: 280 mm and above, with some reaching 400 mm+ and featuring widened backs

    Features:

    Enhanced coverage

    Designed to prevent back-flow while lying down

     

    Helps you sleep comfortably and securely through the night

     

    A Gentle Reminder
