Most pad designs accommodate a size 6 panty size. Consider a plus size, extra long or overnight protection for full coverage of larger panty sizes.

Step3 Think about absorbency and select a sanitary napkin that is very absorbent and keeps you dry and comfortable during your menstruation period. If your sanitary napkin embarrasses you by leaking then try a higher level of absorbency or a new brand.

Step4 Find the proper thickness depend to your level of physical activities. Some prefer thick protection while others use thin pads to serve their needs without the bulkiness.
