A member asked:
How often should i change my pad while on my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: There is no "normal". It depends upon many factors: length of period, heaviness of period, preference of the woman involved, absorbancy of the pad being used, etc. Most women have a certain regularity with periods and pad use. Check with your doctor if that regularity changes suddenly.
