How to use the menstrual panties in case of heavy flow?

If you have a heavy flow, you generally will not be able to wear a single menstrual panty for 12 hours at a time, even if it is specifically designed for heavy flows. Of course, the promise of 12 hours of protection is tenable, but only when the flow is medium to light, or with a menstrual cup.

In case of abundant flow, an adapted menstrual panty will be able to hold up to 7-8 hours in a row alone. However, this varies greatly from one woman to another, as all flows are different: more or less thick, with or without clots, frequent or widely spaced, etc. You should always test a period panty at home before wearing it outside to determine how many hours it will last.

Tip ???? If your flow is very central and the panty leaks quickly to the sides when it is not saturated, use labia pads. These small cloth pads will redirect blood to the front or back of the absorbent area.

When you get home, simply rinse the used panties with cold water in order to remove the maximum amount of blood, then wash them in a washing machine at 40°C.
