Why do I bleed less with Organic Pads?
It's important to clarify that there isn't a direct scientific correlation between using organic pads and bleeding less. The amount of bleeding during your menstrual cycle is primarily determined by hormonal changes in your body and individual factors like your overall health, age, and underlying conditions.
However, some people may find that organic pads are more comfortable and less irritating compared to regular pads. This can be attributed to the absence of synthetic chemicals and pesticides in organic pads, which might reduce the likelihood of skin irritation or allergic reactions. When you feel more comfortable and less irritated, it may seem like you're bleeding less, but the actual amount of blood flow is not affected by the type of pad you use.
If you notice a significant change in your menstrual flow, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying health concerns.
Do Potent Hygiene Organic Pads smell?
Organic pads, like any other menstrual pads, should not have a strong or unpleasant odor when used properly. However, it's important to note that everyone's body is unique, and natural body odors can vary. Some individuals may notice a slight odor during their menstrual cycle, which is a normal part of the body's natural processes.
Organic pads are typically made from materials like organic cotton, which is breathable and helps reduce the likelihood of odor compared to synthetic materials. Additionally, organic pads often do not contain artificial fragrances, which can sometimes mask odors but may also cause irritation for some people.
Maintaining good menstrual hygiene practices, such as changing your pad regularly, practicing proper genital hygiene, and wearing breathable underwear, can help minimize any potential odors. If you notice persistent or strong odors, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying infections or health issues.
Why do the Potent Hygiene pads have a wider back?
The wider back is designed to provide extra coverage and prevent leaks, especially during night-time use or physical activities. This feature ensures maximum protection, comfort, and peace of mind for worry-free days and nights.
How does a natural top sheet help?
The natural top sheet, made from bamboo and corn-starch fibers, enhances breathability and wicks moisture away from the skin. This keeps you dry and fresh, reducing the risk of irritation and maintaining overall comfort during use.
Are Organic Pads Cheaper?
Generally, organic pads tend to be slightly more expensive than regular pads made with synthetic materials. This is because organic pads often use higher-quality organic cotton or other natural materials, which can be more costly to produce.
Some people find the benefits, such as reduced exposure to synthetic chemicals and potentially improved comfort, outweigh the price difference.
Can Potent Hygiene Organic Pads be used for Postpartum bleeding?
Yes, organic pads can be used for postpartum bleeding. Postpartum bleeding, also known as lochia, occurs after giving birth and is typically heavier than a regular menstrual period. Organic pads can be a good choice during this time as they are often made from soft and breathable materials, such as organic cotton, which can be gentle on sensitive skin.
It's important to choose pads with a high absorbency level, such as those designed for overnight use or specifically labeled for postpartum bleeding. These pads are typically longer and more absorbent to manage the heavier flow during the postpartum period.
However, it's worth noting that postpartum bleeding can be quite heavy, especially in the first few days after childbirth. Some individuals may find it helpful to use additional absorbent products like maternity pads or mesh underwear with built-in absorbent pads during this time.
As always, it's recommended to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice on managing postpartum bleeding and selecting the most suitable products for your specific needs.
Are Potent Hygiene pads dermatologically tested?
Yes, our sanitary pads have been dermatologically tested in a reputed lab and certified to be completely safe and non-irritant to the skin.
