How long do I keep my pad on for?

Okay so you should change your pad every 3-4 hours, even if your flow isn't super heavy. This is just a good rule for staying fresh and clean, you know? It also helps make sure you don't leak, which is a major win.

If your flow is heavier, like on the first day or two, you might need to change it more often. Literally whenever you start to feel it getting full, it's time for a new one. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it super fast, it's kind of like learning to tell when your backpack is full.

And yeah, always change it before bed and right when you wake up. It's just good hygiene and keeps everything comfy. You don't want to leave it on overnight unless it's a special overnight pad, and even those usually only last 8 hours max.
