Troubleshooting
Pad is leaking.
Ensure the pad is securely attached to your underwear. Check if your flow exceeds the pad's capacity. Consider a heavier absorbency pad for heavier flow days.
Pad feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the pad is properly positioned in your underwear. Adjust the pad to sit comfortably. Try a different size or style if necessary.
Pad smells after washing.
Ensure the pad is thoroughly rinsed with cold water after use. Wash the pad at 30°C (86°F) with a proper detergent. Make sure the pad is completely dry before storage and reuse.
The pad does not stay in place.
Make sure the poppers are securely fastened. Check the underwear type and consider using underwear with a wider gusset for better grip.
