How to Use Absorbents

Girls who have just started menstruating for the first time can benefit from tampons, as they are simpler and easier to use than tampons. It may seem a little complicated to use them at first, but nothing that some practice does not solve. You will have to master the technique, or you will never be able to wear that beautiful pair of white pants these days and no one wants to have that kind of restriction. Learn the most practical (and correct) way to use the tampon and reduce the chances of suffering from a leak (every woman's worst nightmare).

Part 1 Placing the absorbent


1
Choose the absorbent according to the absorption, shape and coverage. In order to serve the 3.5 billion women who inhabit the planet, the market has several brands and options in pads for different needs. Here are the main aspects:

• Thickness . The absorbent can be thin if its flow is light. Although it does not seem, some thin absorbents can withstand even a little more intense flows, since this aspect has been developed and improved with new technologies. Some are so comfortable that you can even forget you're wearing them.
• Absorption . Read the packaging and choose between "light flow", "moderate" or "intense". Experiment with different brands and types until you find one of your own. Each girl is different and the absorption may change according to the manufacturer.
• Format . There are several models of panties and absorbents are no different. In general, normal and night clothes are more appropriate for ordinary panties and the internal ones are good for any panties. Nights are the most suitable for those who have intense flow or for bedtime, as they are longer. In the case of g-string panties, wearing it with tampons never works. The best for beginners is to use regular panties with regular pads.
• Like . There are two types of tampon - with or without flaps. The flaps are those side appendages with adhesive tape that serve to fix the absorbent on the panties, preventing it from moving or leaking. The general opinion is that flap pads are a woman's best friend, unless you are allergic to them.
• Try not to use scented pads, especially if your skin is sensitive. The perfume can cause allergy and irritation and the area that will be in contact with it is very delicate.
• There are also the daily panty protectors. They are smaller and thinner and are ideal for the beginning or end of menstruation, where the flow is lighter.

2
Stay in an appropriate position. The most common is to change the absorbent when going to the bathroom, but it may be necessary to change it even if you are not in the mood to urinate. Find a bathroom, wash your hands and put your pants down. The absorbent could change on its own, but science hasn’t come this far yet.

• Sit on the toilet and lower your panties; you can do this while standing, as long as the panties are at an easy to reach height.

3
Take the absorbent out of its packaging. The ideal is to use the new absorbent packaging to wrap the used one and throw it in the trash, but this is not mandatory. Always wrap the used absorbent and wrap it in something, either in the packaging or in toilet paper; don't leave it open and exposed in the trash, few things are so unpleasant for the next person who opens it. Also, never dispose of it in the toilet, as this will surely clog it and cause the most damage.

4
Open the flaps and remove the protective strip from the center. Leave the protective strips of the flaps until the absorbent is properly positioned in the panties and only then remove them to glue them to the underside of the panties. Throw the strips away, they are of no use.

• In some brands, the packaging itself serves as a protective strip - one step less for you, but a leap for humanity.

5
Stick the sticker on the panties. The pad should be positioned so that it is directly under the vagina and should not be too far forward or back. However, the anatomy of each girl is different and maybe he will be more comfortable and better protect her from leaks if she stays a little further forward or backwards - after a few periods you will know what is best for you.

• Once it's in place, it's time to wrap the panties with the flaps (if you have them). Remove the protective strips from them and glue them to the bottom of the panties. The flaps are almost magical, as they prevent the absorbent from moving and leave the movement more natural.

Part 2 Using absorbents comfortably

1
Wear the panties as usual. Imagine how difficult it would be to use tampons without panties! Jokes aside, pay attention if you feel uncomfortable beyond expectations or if you are irritated and itchy; if that happens, take out the tampon and buy another one. Although they are not synonymous with comfort, using them should also not be torture and if that happens, it is because there is something wrong. When you go to the bathroom to change it, make sure everything is fine. Remember to use a new one every four hours at the most, to avoid unpleasant odors.

• Repeating: change the absorbent every four hours at the most . Although this depends on the intensity of your flow, this is a classic case where sinning for excess is better. In addition to feeling safe, the smell is unlikely to arise - as you can see, there are only advantages.

2
Wear comfortable clothes. It may not seem like it, but the absorbent is hardly visible, as it follows the curvature of the body, which makes it unobtrusive. Still, wearing a little wider pants or skirts is a good idea. It all depends on how you feel, so choose the clothes you are most comfortable with.

• That giant panties that nobody thinks is beautiful (but that every girl has) is ideal for these days. Leave your killer lingerie for the other 25 days of the month, this is the time to wear your most comfortable panties.

3
Make sure the pad is saturated, especially on intense days. You will know how long an absorbent lasts and when to exchange it with the (extensive) acquired practice. This depends on the day of the cycle; when you start to get upset, you will know what that means. However, in your first periods this can be difficult and it is always recommended to check the situation. After all, what do you prefer: going to the bathroom a few times more than normal or having a leak in the middle of the bus / classroom / volleyball game?

• This is not to say that you need to go to the bathroom every half hour, but every two hours is a good measure; if someone asks what's going on, you can answer a lot of things, like "it's none of your business", "i drank a lot of water today" or "i ate a lot of cheese for breakfast". That is, the number of times you go to the bathroom is your problem.

4
Do not use the tampon if you are not menstruating. Some girls like to use tampons all the time because of the “freshness” feeling that this causes. Do not do this under any circumstances! If you have any love for your vagina (you are expected to love it passionately), let it breathe! Burying it with a thick layer of cotton will cause bacteria to proliferate, even more in the heat. So use the tampon on your menstrual days and be happy the other 25 days of the month. Prefer to use light cotton panties; you will feel as fresh as a spring morning breeze.

5
When you feel uncomfortable, it's time for a change. Pads are far from comfortable, but think about what it was like in your great-grandmother's day. She had to use a reusable towel that was not pleasant (although they were much more sustainable). With that in mind, current pads are designed to be a little better than that, and if you feel uncomfortable, it's time to change it. You may need to do simpler things, like repositioning it; if the sensation persists, it may be the case to buy a different type or size.

Part 3 Mastering the art of changing and disposing of the pad

1
After four hours, replace it. Even if it is not saturated, this is the definitive exchange period. You will feel so safe and clean when you do this that you will start to want to change it as soon as you wear the new one! Without waste girl, four hours is the best average.

2
Dispose of the tampon correctly. Wrap the used absorbent in the new packaging or in toilet paper and discreetly put it in the trash, so that no one has to see what's inside.

Never, never, never throw the absorbent (internal or external) in the toilet. Some places in the world have a better sanitation system than others, but even in these magnificent places the plumbing will clog and make a flood of waste that no one would like to witness.

3
Be hygienic. Menstruation can make a tremendous mess and it is important to stay clean. Always wash your hands after changing and shower daily. In addition, unscented baby wipes can also be carried in your purse and are a real hand on the wheel to clean up when you're out and about. The cleaner you get, the less germs and the healthier you will be.

• By the way, don't be disgusted by your period. In addition to being a vital and healthy (though irritating) part of femininity, this is your own blood. Keeping yourself clean is important for health reasons and not because you or your blood is disgusting.

4
Always carry tampons with you. Menstruation can come down at any time and being caught off guard is a sure recipe for disaster. There will be days when your flow will be stronger than normal and you will have to change it more often. In addition, those who have never had an unsuspecting friend who menstruated at the last minute to throw the first tampon; as grandma would say, a forewarned girl is worth two.
When you are the unsuspecting girl, don't be afraid to ask a friend for a tampon. You don't have to do the trick to ask, be natural! This is a situation that nobody wants to go through and even unknown girls would love to help a sister in a difficult time like this.
A colic remedy can save your day, so carry one with you too.

Tips

• When your period leaks (and it will happen sooner or later), clean the blood stain with cold, not hot water!
• Carry extra pads. They can be kept in a secret pocket, bag or makeup bag, if you want. At the beginning menstruation is usually irregular, so be prevented.
• Do not wear g-string panties when using tampons. Prefer the giant (and comfortable) panties.
• Buy a pack of unscented baby wipes to keep your little friend always fresh. The ideal is that they have no perfume to avoid irritations and allergies in such a delicate area, especially if you have sensitive skin. Do not use hygienic showers, as you will not have a thrush.
• Use tampons if you are not ready to use tampons. Your friends can talk about the wonders of using them, but the body is yours and not theirs, so make your own decisions.
• If you want to know exactly how much an absorbent can handle, do the same test as the TV commercials. Take one out of the package just to test it, pour water and see how far it holds without leaking.
• If your period comes and you have no tampons and no friends around, make a roll of toilet paper and change it every half hour until you get one.
• Consider using a tampon . They are better for practicing physical activities, in addition to being more comfortable and not releasing any smell.
• Use scented pads if you don't like those that don't have scent.

Warnings

• Do not throw any type of absorbent into the toilet. Throw them in the trash.
• Don't be afraid of the tampon. If you put it on correctly, you won't feel any pain. It may take a little longer to catch the morning, but it is much more practical than the external pads, although these are more suitable for bedtime.
• Failure to change the pad regularly may cause candidiasis. Change it every four hours. [1]
