Today's market has a variety of feminine hygiene products for women. The key is to know what works best for your body and the benefits of each type of product, so you can choose what is most comfortable and convenient for you. There are many options available. For example, you can shop for products specifically for heavy or light flows, overnight protection, and more. Simply Medical offers a selection of feminine care products for women of all ages.

Pads and Sanitary Napkins
Sanitary napkins, more commonly called pads, are among the most used feminine hygiene products. Pads contain multiple layers to absorb menstrual flow and keep your clothes clean during menstruation. These are not to be confused with incontinence pads, which are designed for people with bladder control issues. Incontinence products are different from sanitary pads, as they are meant for blood instead of urine.

Sanitary pads cannot be worn in pools or bodies of water. Choose from a variety of brands, lengths, and absorbency capabilities. Some pads feature wings for a more secure fit, while others do not. Overnight pads provide a more robust level of protection and are designed with extra features to keep users dry all night long.

Maternity Pads: Maternity pads are softer, larger, and more absorbent than standard sanitary pads and can help control the heavy bleeding that often occurs after childbirth.

Tampons and Menstrual Cups
Tampons and menstrual cups collect flow during menstruation and are a potential alternative to pads. Many women will alternate between pads, tampons, and menstrual cups, depending on their individual needs. Ladies may also choose to wear multiple feminine care products at the same time, like using tampons and pads in conjunction.

Tampons:Tampons go into the vaginal canal, where they absorb menstrual flow for several hours. Unlike thin and bulky pads, tampons are more discreet and, for some women, more comfortable.

Tampons range in size and absorbency. However, tampons cannot be used for post-birth bleeding, so new mothers should stick with pads. Many women find that tampons are more convenient for them during workouts, sporting events, traveling, etc. They can be worn in the water while swimming.

Some younger women might find tampons to be intimidating at first. Following the product instructions for proper insertion can help new tampon users to become more comfortable and confident.

Menstrual Cups:Like tampons, menstrual cups are inserted into the vagina for several hours at a time to collect period blood. Period cups are typically made of medical-grade silicone or rubber and can last for years at a time. Once the cup is full, it is emptied into the toilet, wiped down and cleaned, then reinserted. While learning to insert and remove a menstrual cup takes a bit of practice, the advantage of the cups is that they are reusable.

The reusability of the cup is excellent for the environment and your wallet, as it means less waste and makes the cup a more affordable option. Menstrual cups have a higher upfront cost, but over time you save money because you don’t have to purchase pads or tampons each month to refresh your supply.

Period cups range in size and flexibility. Each brand should offer a guide for choosing the right size.

As a side note, if you have an IUD, you should talk to your doctor before choosing a menstrual cup to ensure the period device doesn’t dislodge your IUD.

Panty Liners
Panty liners can be used instead of pads or tampons during times of light flow or to provide additional protection when wearing a tampon or menstrual cup. Liners are also handy when you want to protect your underwear lining throughout the month and avoid staining from vaginal discharge.
