What are the basic facts I should know in helping my daughter choose the best protection?
There are a lot of choices, but most women use pads or tampons. She could also choose to vary the protection she uses according to the activities she has, her blood flow and depending on how at ease she is with her body.
Whatever the chosen option, remember your daughter must change her product regularly. Leaving any product in place for a long time allows bacteria to grow which may cause odors and even infection.
As there are many brands and products available, you might find it difficult to give advice to your daughter. You can refer to the document below “Choosing the right protection” to find out more about the characteristics to consider to help your daughter find the most appropriate product for her.
