There are many different types of pad you can use. Pads come in 2 different thicknesses-ultra thin and maxi thick. Ultra thin pads, are so thin you almost do not feel you are wearing a pad, but they protect you very well. Maxi thick pads also protect very well and are designed for girls who like the re-assuring feel of a pad. Both ultra thin and maxi thick pads come in different lengths-if your flow is heavier, it's better to use a longer pad.
