How I Choose the Right Sanitary Pad for My Flow (And How You Can Too)

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably stood in the store aisle (or scrolled endlessly online), staring at rows of sanitary pads and wondering: Which one is right for me?

The truth is, your period changes from day to day. Some days are light, others are intense. Sometimes you need comfort above all. And sometimes, you just want to feel dry and fresh for hours.

That’s why choosing the right pad matters. It’s not just about staying dry. It’s about feeling confident, safe, and in control of your cycle.

At Fizabelle, we’ve spent years understanding what women need during their periods. And here’s what I’ve learned from both personal experience and helping other women across the UAE.

Why Choosing the Right Pad for Your Flow Matters

Using the wrong type of pad can be more than just uncomfortable. It can disrupt your day, affect your mood, and even cause irritation.

Here’s what can happen if your pad doesn’t match your flow:

• A pad that’s too thin may leak during heavier days

• A pad that’s too thick may feel bulky, hot, or irritating

• Wearing the wrong pad overnight can interrupt your sleep

• Constant discomfort can make you dread your period every month

When your pad works with your body, not against it, everything feels easier. You move better, sleep better, and feel more confident throughout the day.

Understanding the Types of Menstrual Flow

No two periods are the same, even for the same person. That’s why I always encourage women to pay attention to their own cycle.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what your flow might look like and what you may need:

1. Light Flow
   This usually happens at the beginning or end of your period. A slim, breathable pad is usually enough here.
2. Medium Flow
   This is your average period day, often around day 2 to 4. You’ll need balanced absorbency without too much bulk.
3. Heavy Flow
   Often occurs on days 2 or 3 of your cycle. You’ll want a longer, thicker pad that provides maximum protection.
4. Overnight Flow
   Long hours of sleep mean you need a pad that’s longer and wider, designed to handle extended wear and movement while lying down.

Listening to your body and matching your pad to your needs makes all the difference.
