Tampons are excellent for activities like swimming and are more popular amongst females when they get used to having their periods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pads are constructed of absorbent materials designed to absorb menstrual fluid and come in a variety of thicknesses and absorbencies. A pad&#8217;s thickness does not always mean a pad is more absorbent. For example, ultra-thin pads are thinner and more discrete and do the same job as extra pads. A pad\u2019s absorbency can also be determined by its length \u2013 with longer pads able to absorb more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pads come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. You&#8217;ll see descriptions like; Ultrathin, Regular, Super, Overnight Regular, and Overnight Long. Regular is ideal for everyday usage during medium flow, while Super and Nighttime absorbencies are best for heavy- flow and overnight use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using Pads at Night<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s time for bed it\u2019s best to wear a pad rather than a tampon. Overnight pads are your best option as they come in both regular and longer lengths, and feature a wider back, this will give you extra protection and prevent leakage while you\u2019re lying down and shifting positions as you sleep. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many girls will choose to use pads when they get their first period, but it&#8217;s really up to the individual.
