Nothing is as messy as dressing in an uncomfortable towel. It makes the muddy situation worse leaving you unstable, unhappy, uncertain …just name it. But wearing the right one helps in forgetting as a result the season becomes flowery.

Sanitary pads are more widely available through different channels, but their quality varies greatly. And this is the point to ask… Is my brand awesome? Before settling on what you perceive to be the best, try two or more brands.

In truth, these are the best.

KOTEX

Includes Kotex maxi, thin and ultra-thin pads. These pads are comfy, light, and soft. It is 98% cotton and a little polythene. Periods are no fun. But they can be a bit more bearable with the right care down there. Each pad is packed separately in a cotton wrapper making it easy to carry around without creating attention.

ALWAYS

This is a great choice especially when the flow is super fast/heavy and you have to sit for more than an hour. You can pick a max, the normal, or the platinum brand. When picking from the variety, leave out the scented one. The fragrance could be cute but the mix can result in odor when not changed frequently. Consequently, causing irritation.

NIA

Nia is more than a pad, it connects you to real people and services. Through the Fast Moving Educational Good (FMEG), Nia products are a safe space where you can get answers to questions and be directed to services for reproductive health and safety.
