Change pads every 4-6 hours

Change pads or tampons every 4-6 hours to prevent bacterial infections. Change menstrual cups every 12 hours.

Maintain genital hygiene

Use lukewarm water to wash the vaginal area. Avoid using harsh soaps or intimate washes, as they can disrupt the pH balance.

Dispose responsibly

Wrap used sanitary napkins in newspaper and dispose of them in a dustbin. Wash reusable pads with soap and water and sterilise menstrual cups with warm water.

Use gentle products

Try to use gentle and chemical-free products on your skin. Chemical-free products help the pH balance of the vagina.
