• Do you have the impression that your hygienic protection saturates quickly? Is the flow slow, intense or very intense? 

• What disposable protections do you usually turn to? Normal sanitary napkins or super absorbent tampons +++? This will put you on the track. 

• If you've ever worn a menstrual cup, you may have had a very accurate overview of your menstrual flow. For example, on a half-day, the You can wear a menstrual cup was barely full or half full? Do you feel the need to empty it often? At what pace? 

• Do you wear a copper IUD? THE intrauterine device (Intra Uterine Device) is a very effective contraceptive solution, but it can make your measurements quite intense and abundant. 

• Have you ever experienced leaks, spots on your clothes?

A menstrual flow that is not constant

Important to know: the menstrual flow is not the same on the first and last day of menstruation. According to the women, it experiences a peak of intensity before it runs out. Over the loss period, five to seven days on average, the following pattern can be observed, for example:

• first two calm days, then the intensity increases little by little,


• two strong days with a more intense flow, the lower abdomen is then well swollen, the discomfort or pain may be more marked, 


• two days later when the flow calms down little by little and decelerates.


Also the flow is not as intense during the day as it is at night. The night, in a lying position, and without making any movements, the flow slows down, the flow is much less important than during the day.

These differences should be taken into account for choosing the best period panties adapted to your menstrual flow, but also to your profile. Even if you have a heavy flow, consider buying one or two menstrual panties for medium flow for the end of your cycle, for example. In short, try to anticipate as much as possible!

Focus on the different types of menstrual flow

The menstrual flow is qualified according to its intensity. This makes it easier to offer products that are truly adapted to user flows. Thus brands and manufacturers can offer cups, panties, more or less absorbent swimsuits that will suit the user's menstrual flow.

Light menstrual flow

A menstrual flow judged to be light represents less than 30ml of blood over the loss period. You only need one tampon per day. Your sanitary napkin is barely marked on the day. At night, lying down, you barely move, a panty liner enough for you most of the time. A light flow menstrual panties will then be able to fully fulfill its mission. 

Good to know, weak menstrual discharge is called oligomenorrhea.

Average menstrual flow

The average flow or normal flow corresponds to between 30 and 50 ml during the menstrual period. 2 to 3 tampons are sufficient for a day. A good sanitary napkin can cover half a day without problem.

Heavy flow

The abundant flow is between 50 and 70 ml of blood. An abundant flow requires changing your protections on a regular basis to ensure better comfort and avoid saturation. Thus at least 5 tampons are used in a day.
