Everyone wants a full night's sleep for that fresh start of the day, where you feel energised and relaxed. This is why choosing a good night-time sanitary napkin is so important for you to feel protected throughout the night, even after all the twists and turns. No one wants to wake up at night to scrub your bed...
Steps in choosing your night sanitary napkin.
Normally, night pads are designed to be longer than day pads and panty liners with the length ranging from 35cm. - 42cm. The length you choose depends on your body shape, how heavy your flow is, and your personal preference. Some may choose the longest possible length because you may move or turn a lot during your sleep or like to sleep in different positions during the night. Let's take a look at the different points you should bear in mind when choosing night pads:
Sleep position
- Lay down flat on your back: choosing normal to longest length will help you prevent leakage from your period as the flow will likely flow down directly.
- Sleeping sideways: choose sanitary napkin with wings to assist in catching period that may run down sideways or when you turn.
- Lay down flat on your belly : choose sanitary napkins with wings to secure your pads to the underwear and make sure to place them far up enough to cover your genital. This is because your period may run down the front of your body too.
How often you move your body during sleep
- Moving often and flipping your body around all night : not only do you need to choose a long sanitary napkin, but you should also choose a thicker one to increase absorbancy from all directions.
- No movement during sleep : you can choose a thinner and shorter option with or without wings, but make sure to focus on sanitary napkins with good ventilation to prevent dampness.
Choose night sanitary napkins that suits you body shape and your flow.
- 23 cm. : small size and suitable for those with not a lot of period.
- 25 cm. : average size and suitable for those with moderate flow.
- 27 cm. : a bit longer than average and can suit those with heavier flow.
- 35 cm. : long length for those with heavy flow or prefer extra protection from all angles.
- 42 cm. : super logn length for those with extra heavy flow and people with wider or longer hips.
Features of the sanitary napkins.
- Absorbency : choose sanitary napkins with an absorbancy that fits with your flow, so you don't have to worry about your period overflowing and leaking into your bed at night or when you twist and turn.
- Texture : choose a sanitary napkin with a dry and porous top surface to ensure you won't feel any dampness and uncomfortable at night.
- Wings : choose sanitary napkins with wings to lock your pad on the underwear and prevent any slipping movement.

Tips and tricks on how to wear your night pads without any leakage.
Here are some tips and tricks for you to choose the best night sanitary pads. From our team's experience and trial and error, we came up with some pointers for you to have a perfect sleep during those bloody nights.
1. Choose night pads that have a suitable shape and length for your body and flow. There's no perfect recipe for everyone!
2. Choose sanitary pads that can absorb your period quickly and can ventilate down there throughout the whole night. Using natural fibres can give you a comfortable and airy feel.
3. Wear your sanitary pads correctly i.e. placing the pads to cover both your front and back.
4. Choose the sleeping position that prevents any spillage during the night e.g. laying on your back or side.
5. Choose the underwear that securely covers your whole front and back. We also recommend wearing cotton underwear that effectively sticks to your pads so the pad is secured during the night, even after a few twists and turns. You can even go for high-waisted pants that cover the whole length of your pads to make sure the period doesn't leak. However, don't wear pants that are too tight for you because it may result in discomfort and blockage of airflow.
6. Take care of your hygiene! Don't forget to wash your hands before and after changing your sanitary pad to prevent any infections.
