Products

Like you, every woman is different and the type of product you wear can vary depending on preferences, type of activities undertaken and context. Here is a good rule of thumb when it comes to what products you should be looking for:

Menstrual pads: We carry regular (no wings), super and overnight (both with wings). Pads are a traditional method of managing your period and are recommended for overnight wear. Also, if you prefer wearing products without worrying about leakage, or just feel like wearing comfortable clothing, pads are a great choice for you. At Lilli Pads, our menstrual pads are plastic-free and are biodegrade. If you go with our products, you are not only being health conscious towards yourself, but also health conscious towards Mother Nature as well.

Tampons: Most women in North America prefer tampons over pads, so this is definitely a popular option. We provide tampons for those who prefer not having that “wet” feeling when menstruating and/or prefer wearing tighter fitting clothing without having to worry about underwear lines. Tampons are also great if you indulge in sports including swimming or yoga. For tampons, it is extremely important to go with a reputable source (and possibly organic). Any remnants coming from the tampon can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the vagina. If your products are laced with phthalates or other forms of endocrine disrupting chemicals, as well as insecticides/pesticides, the effects of those ingredients are magnified via absorption into your bloodstream than say, if they were applied directly on your skin. Also, if the tampon is made with materials that can flake inside of your body, this can potentially lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome due to bacterial growth. At Lilli Pads, our tampons are FDA approved and are made with certified organic cotton and also come with a cardboard applicator for ease of insertion and hygienic application.

Pantyliners: Pantyliners are a great addition to feminine hygiene wear as they provide extra protection against spotting and/or light incontinence. Moreover, they can be used as backup to your tampons in case your cycle is on the heavier side and protects against potential leakage.

Pads and tampons made with certified organic cotton are said to be more breathable than conventional plastic products and furthermore, contain deodorizing properties. That being said, there is a lighter feeling associated with using these products and some may not feel completely used to it at first. However, over time, you will come to accept and appreciate the comfort and naturalness of wearing organic cotton as there is less chance of skin irritations or rashes.

For tampons, there may be a chance that you may require a more frequent change due to the properties of cotton versus rayon, but this can vary according to your flow. Tampon leakage can also be mitigated with the use of a cotton pantyliner.

1. Wash your hands and remove the wrapper from the pad. Unwrap the pad ensuring that the main sticker (with the paper liner) is facing down and that the wings and liner part is facing up.

2. Remove the paper liner at the back of the pad and line up the pad with your underwear lining. Once lined, stick the pad to your underwear.

3. Remove the paper liner for the wings and wrap the wings to the back of your underwear. Dispose of the paper liners and wrapper in a garbage disposal.

This is a summary of how to use a tampon with a cardboard applicator:

1. Wash your hands and remove the wrapper from the tampon. Assume a comfortable position, with your muscles relaxed. One of the positions that allow easy access to the vaginal area is standing up, with your knees slightly bent and separated, or with one foot on the toilet.

2. Make sure that the string is tied securely and hanging outside the applicator. The mechanism of the applicator is similar to that of a syringe.

3. Hold the tampon with the base of the applicator between your thumb and index finger. With the other hand, open the vaginal opening gently and place the rounded tip of the applicator in the vaginal orifice (the same opening from which the flow leaves the body). Insert it at a slant toward your back rotating it slightly. Slide the external insertion tube completely into your vagina, until your fingers touch your body.

4. Push the internal insertion tube with your index finger inside until it is inside the first tube. In this manner, the tampon will be correctly positioned inside your vagina.

5. Remove both applicator tubes from your body. Put it in a wastepaper basket. The string will be hanging outside your body. When the tampon is correctly placed, you will not feel anything. If you feel uncomfortable it means that you have not inserted the tampon to a sufficient depth. You should remove the tampon and insert a new one, ensuring that you insert it deeply.

You should change your tampon every 4-8 hours or whenever you believe the tampon to be saturated. To remove the tampon, bend your knees slightly with your legs open and relax. Pull the string outside your body, in the same direction in which you inserted the tampon.

If you feel discomfort when removing the tampon and you can see white fibers, it may be that it is not saturated. Always use a tampon with an absorption capacity that is less than your flow.

Always make sure that you have removed the last tampon before inserting another. Make sure that you remove the last tampon of your period and do not use tampons before or between periods.

Do not leave the tampon in for more than 8 hours and only use when menstruating.
