Sanitary pads
Hello doctors,
Is it okay to change pads in a gap of 12 hours.Does it cause any problems?
Also, is it ok to use cotton cloth at the end of menstruation days as flow gets very less and wearing a pad causes itching.
Please suggest. Thankyou 😊

The duration of changing pads will depend upon the amount of flow
too much of wetness can invite infection rather than using a cotton cloth you can use pantry liners if the flow is very less
cotton cloth may prove unhygienic

Cotton cloth is not advisable.
Use cottony cover pads instead.
