A sanitary napkin, sanitary towel, sanitary pad, menstrual pad, or pad is an absorbent item worn in the underwear by females who are menstruating, bleeding after giving birth, recovering from gynecologic surgery, experiencing a miscarriage or abortion, or in any other situation where it is necessary to absorb a flow of blood from the vagina. A menstrual pad is a type of feminine hygiene product that is worn externally, unlike tampons and menstrual cups which are worn inside the vagina. The pad has to be changed several times in 24 hours depending on whether the menstrual flow is heavy or light. Menstrual pads are made from a range of materials, differing depending on style, country of origin, and brand. US brands include Kotex, Always, Equate, and Stayfree. Lil-lets are available in several other English-speaking countries. These pads are not to be confused with generally higher absorbency incontinence pads, which are worn by people who have urinary incontinence problems.Sajith Premadasa - Pad man Sri Lanka. New Democratic Front (NDF) Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa says he has no issues being labelled ‘padman’ after doctored images were published of him holding a sanitary napkin in his hand. Premadasa tweeted saying that more than half of adolescent girls in Sri Lanka miss school when on their period according to UNICEF impacting girls’ education. He said that a United National Front Government reduced the 100% levy on sanitary products to 63% but thousands of women still suffer stigma and put themselves at risk every month. -https://ift.tt/36q508F
