Used

Maybe the right forum for this and slightly on the embarrassing side.
So how many times should you change your sanitary napkin in day if on periods? and How do you dispose off the used ones? I am literally asking you people and asking you to tell me how to dispose them.

aisha ji itne saalon tak kya karrahi thien??! hehe neways...i read sumwhere tht sanitary napkin should be changed every 3-4 hrs to avoid infection...and use a paper bag and dispose all the used ones everyday along with the other garbage of your house

yeah changing after 3-4 hours make sense....you can wrap the used pad in packaging[wrapper] of the new pad.

just change whenever you need to, depending on how heavy or light your period is. no hard and fast rules dear. did u get yours pretty recently?

aisha sab ut patang threads tumhare kiun hotay hain?

Aisha Dubaiwali · Nov 6th, 2009, 03:52 PM

This is natural and a genuine concern, not a ult patang thread

You change it according to your flow. Could be anywhere from 1 hour to max. 4-5 hours or 8 when you are sleeping. To dispose them, you fold in the plastic/paper wrap they come in & then roll it with some toilet paper & garbage.

Anything for you buddy

But hey isn't that how many of us do it. I remember this lady once told me in old school days women used to make their own pads with towels & then wash & reuse them.

Aisha Dubaiwali · Nov 6th, 2009, 05:23 PM

Yeh Hareem B if you want to know I grew in height late but yeh I grew taller than all my family members! Except dad who is 6 feet.

Well lol I never had those american style education, I studied in a Pakistani style school in my childhood days so don't know

but yeh I guess lol!

Sara516 · Nov 6th, 2009, 09:44 PM

are u bloody serious?

Bint_e_Naeem · Nov 6th, 2009, 10:05 PM

^ Yeah that's what this lady in Pakistan told me. Oh & I have confirmed it with my mom too. She said maasis & women who belong to lower class still do it. Supposedly not everyone can afford it & if you dispose a bloodied pad that means men will get to see it too

So wash & your blood & use it again. Disgusting & so full of germs.

Is there a smiley for being well not entirely embarrassed but something close to that?

Shouldn't you change every time you go to the bathroom?

Aisha Dubaiwali · Nov 7th, 2009, 03:57 AM

You guys are misinterpreting this thread

I do all that whatever you wrote but I just wanted to know out of curiousity if it was the way it should be done! Yes I do change every time I go loo! wow! Talk about making it highly embarrassing!
