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.
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.
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.
