Sanitary Pads & Tampons FAQs
What types of sanitary pads are available?
Our selection of sanitary pads includes various options to meet different needs. You can find ultra-thin pads for discreet everyday wear, winged pads for extra security and leak protection, and maxi pads for heavier flow. We also stock specialist night-time pads for enhanced protection while you sleep, and panty liners for daily freshness and very light discharge.
How often should I change my sanitary product?
For hygiene and to prevent leaks and potential health risks like Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), it's recommended to change sanitary pads every 3-5 hours, or more frequently if your flow is heavy. Tampons should be changed every 4-8 hours. Never leave a tampon in for longer than 8 hours. Always follow the specific instructions on the product packaging.
What is Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) and how can I avoid it?
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but serious bacterial infection that can be linked to tampon use. Symptoms can include a sudden high fever, rash, vomiting, diarrhoea, and dizziness. To reduce your risk, choose the lowest absorbency tampon for your needs, change tampons frequently (every 4-8 hours), and alternate with sanitary pads. For more detailed information, please refer to our guide on Toxic Shock Syndrome: Signs to Watch & What to Do.
