Heavy periods: how to choose your protection

Changing more often is not always the answer. Length and capacity matter more.

A 240 mm pad suits most days. When the flow is heavy, or for the night, a 290 mm length genuinely changes things: it covers further towards the back, where leaks happen when you are lying down.

Look at the number of pieces in the pack too. A heavy flow means more changes: a pack of ten pads lasts a day longer than a pack of seven.

Finally, wings and a side barrier limit leaks on the sides. That is what the 3D Leak barrier on Penticare ZEN 3D does.

This advice is practical. It does not replace the opinion of a health professional. If discomfort, pain or irritation persists, seek advice.
