Are you wondering which personal hygiene products along with sanitary pads you should be stashing in? Continue reading as this article talks about three super handy products that are life savers.

When it comes to the health and hygiene of women, an extra care and attention is required. Feminine hygiene products are personal care products that are to be used during menstruation or other vaginal discharges. Be it on period days or non-period days, every female body has to be given proper sanitation to let it function without catching diseases. Menstrual products like sanitary pads, tampons etc. help in a better management of menstruation. These are disposable products which make it easier for women to carry them along, use when required and dispose following some easy guidelines. For a woman with a full-time job or other long hour activities it is important to have such products handy to come to their rescue as and when required.

The market offers a whole lot of products that makes it a little confusing to choose the right ones. You, however, do not need to try them all. Just get your hands on the ones that are basic and you are all set. Here are three main products we are going to talk about that are life savers.

Sanitary Napkins

Sanitary Napkins are possibly the most used product during menstruation. Most of the women happen to be introduced to sanitary napkins when they start bleeding. They are not only comfortable but are really handy. These pads are made of cotton mixed with other absorbent sheets and come in multiple layers to offer maximum protection from leakage and staining. These pads come in different variants and you can choose whichever you find the best for you. But, make sure whichever you use has a wing in it. Wings help in holding the pad in place and do not let it slip either ways. The sanitary pads brands today offer variants focused on different needs, come under affordable prices and are available both online and offline.

Panty Liners

These products are to be used during non-period days. These keep you clean, dry and odour free every day when you do not bleed. Women have vaginal discharge even during the non-period days which sometimes gets as uncomfortable as periods. It gets messy and leaves an unpleasant odour. Using a panty liner keeps these problems at bay. They are much smaller in size and have a thin sheet which comes with adhesive at the back and also comes in different variants. Place it just like a pad and change as often as required. These will come to your rescue during menstrual spotting a day before or after periods, absorbing daily vaginal discharge, wetness and panty soiling. Slipping on a panty liner will also save your undies.

Menstrual Tampons:

Tampons, as we all know, are also used for absorbing menstrual blood which has to be inserted into the vagina. The concept of insertion scares many women away as there are many myths around it like you may lose your virginity, it may get lost inside and what not. But, there is no truth to them. Tampons are as hygienic and safe as pads. But, there are many benefits of wearing a tampon over a pad like you can wear a bikini, a G-String or a bodycon dress without having to wear a panty. Also, at night, it will let you sleep like just any other day without worrying about staining or leakage. But always remember, if you wear a tampon at night, you will have to get up and change into a new one as tampons should not be worn for more than 4-5 hours.
