How often should the pad be changed?
In this regard, a report from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that the pad should be changed every 4 to 8 hours. Do not use a pad for more than 8 hours. This is a common guideline. Thus, how long you can use a pad, depend on your flow, pad type and comforts.
Take care of these things
You are feeling that the pad has become too wet and if it starts to smell, you can change the pad immediately. If you wear such a pad for a long time, the chances of infection to other illnesses increase. This may increase the risk of fungus infection.
How many pads should be changed at night?
According to the report, if you get 8 to 9 hours of sleep and your flow is normal, one overite pad in this condition becomes coffee. But if the flow is high, you can change the pad 3 to 4 a night. Doing so reduces the chance of infection. You can also consult a Health Expert about this.
Long to keep pads safe?
Fungal infections, skin rash and bacterial infections can occur if you keep a wet and dirty pad for a long time. For this you replace the pad within 4 to 6 hours in the beginning 2 to 3 days.
