STEP 1

Are You Ready?

Open the wrapper and fold the pad out flat.

STEP 2

Peel the pad away from the wrapper and/or backing paper (the back of the pad should feel sticky). You might need to hold onto the back paper to make it easier.

STEP 3

Position it in your pants.

(for long and night pads the back is wider).

STEP 4

If there are extra flaps, remove the tab to reveal the sticky area on the wings and fold these wings around and underneath your underwear to hold it in place and keep it secure.

And you are done... Go have some fun!

I have had my period since December and they are still irregular is that normal. And I am 12 and prefer tampons is that ok. And why does it always smell down there, Evan when I’m not on my period. Sorry for all the questions. Bye ✌️

Reply To Beano: Hi, I don't know when ur message was posted but anyways, you can always try tampons as they are more comfortable, if you find them hard just stick to pads😊Hope this helps
