Generally speaking, you will need to change more frequently on the second and third day of your period and less on the first and last days when you loose less fluid. A good rule of thumb, however, is every three to four hours but this will change slightly depending on how heavy your period is.

The top layer of the towel has a soft surface to protect your skin. The ingenious design allows fluid to seep in but not out. Under this surface lies the core. It absorbs all your menstrual blood, locking it securely into the towel. The bottom layer prevents leakage from the bottom. The towel also has adhesive strips on the underside which help to keep the towel securely in place.

First remove the towel from its package. As you unfold it, remove the protective covering to expose the sticky strips. Secure the towel by placing the strips against your panties. Make sure the towel is centred in the middle of your panties. Check with your panties on – if the towel is off-centre, reposition it by carefully removing it and moving it to the desired position.

You can wrap your used towel in the plastic wrapper that was around the new towel, or roll a piece of toilet paper around it. Dispose of it in a waste bin (do not try to flush it as this may cause the toilet to block up - terribly embarrassing).

The best alternative is to try different products to find the one with which you feel most comfortable.

Towels can absorb much more fluid and are therefore the best solution for the heavier days of your period. Pantyliners are thinner and are better suited to the beginning and end of your period, or if you have vaginal discharge. We also offer an ultra thin pantyliner that can be used in between your periods for those days when you want to feel fresh all day.

It’s difficult to know if you will bleed during the days just before and after your period. Just a small amount of blood can ruin a pair of panties or leave a stain. Pantyliners are also a good option if you have vaginal discharge or just want to feel fresh and comfortable even when you’re not menstruating.

Both towels and tampons are equally effective during your period. It’s really a matter of preference. Simply choose which alternative feels most comfortable and convenient.
