Menstrual Pad Change Frequency: Hygiene Guidelines
Change every 4–8 hours, or sooner if saturated.
Hygiene Protocol
- Wash hands before and after.
- Wrap used pad in wrapper or toilet paper.
- Dispose in waste bin—never flush.
- Consider overnight pads for sleep; menstrual cups/discs for 12-hr wear.
Why It Matters
- Prevents bacterial overgrowth (odor, vulvovaginitis).
- Reduces toxic shock syndrome (TSS) risk (though lower than tampons).
- Maintains skin integrity.
