Girls You Have Been Using Sanitary Napkins Wrong Your Entire Life

Sanitary napkins is worn between the vulva and the underwear during a menstrual period in order to absorb the menstrual bloods. On the market you can find two types of sanitary napkins- one that have adhesive tape and you need to stick them on the panties and the other have wings which are wrapped under the panties to keep the sanitary towel in place. They need to be changed on every 4-8 hours.

Step 1

Remove the sanitary pad from the packaging and unfold it.

Step 2

Sit on the toilet, place your underwear under your knees.

Step 3

Remove the strip on the pads to reveal the adhesive that sticks to the panties. If you’re using sanitary pads with wings, there will be three strips. 

Step 4

Press the sanitary pad on your panties, the adhesive part should be stuck on your underwear. Then wrap the wings around your panties and press them as well. If you use pads designed for tongs then the wider part should be placed on the front part of your underwear.

You can check whether or not the sanitary pad is in the right position by pulling your underwear up and checking if it covers the entire vaginal opening.
