Choosing the right menstrual product can make a world of difference in your comfort, confidence, and daily routine. With more options than ever before—pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period underwear, and beyond—how do you know what’s right for your body and lifestyle?

Let’s break it down so you can find your perfect fit.

1. Pads: Tried, True & Evolving

Pads are a go-to option for many and come in a variety of sizes and absorbencies. They're external, making them ideal for those just starting their period or who want a non-invasive option.

Natural options, like Veeda, offer chemical-free pads made with 100% cotton—perfect for sensitive skin.

🩸 Best for: Light to heavy flow, overnight protection, teens, and beginners.

2. Tampons: Discreet & Portable

Tampons are inserted into the vagina and absorb blood before it leaves the body. They're great for active days, especially when swimming or working out. Be mindful of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) and always change them every 4–8 hours.

🩸 Best for: Active lifestyles, moderate to heavy flow, those comfortable with internal products.

3. Menstrual Cups: Eco-Friendly & Long-Lasting

Made of medical-grade silicone, menstrual cups collect rather than absorb flow. They can be worn up to 12 hours and reused for years, making them an eco-conscious choice.

🩸 Best for: Eco-conscious users, those with a steady flow, and anyone looking to reduce waste.

4. Period Underwear: Wear, Wash, Repeat

Period underwear has built-in absorbent layers and can be worn alone or as backup. Many find them more comfortable and less bulky than pads.

🩸 Best for: Light flow, backup for other products, or overnight use.

Final Thoughts: Trust Your Body

It’s okay to mix and match! You might wear a pad at night, a tampon at the gym, and period underwear on light days. The key is comfort, protection, and peace of mind.
