How often should sanitary napkins or cloth pads be changed?

The maximum amount of time you should wear a sanitary napkin is 8 hours even with a lighter period flow. Depending on how heavy your flow is experiment with different pad absorbencies to see which pad is full in about 34 hours. If your pad takes only 12 hours to be fully absorbed consider switching to a higher absorbency. On the first 34 days when your period is heaviest you don’t want to be wearing a pad more than 34 hours without switching for hygiene.

What is a girl suddenly bleeds through her clothes?

Don’t worry, every girl has this experience at one time in her life. If you don’t know how heavy your menstruation flow is, or didn’t expect your period just tie a sweater around your waist and change your clothes. If you don’t know when to expect your period keep an extra pair of pants in your bag.
