My period has been threatening to come for all too long --and when I got home with my new Reddy's, voila, it came. This happened the first time I got the pads too.
Light The light pads are great for medium to light flow or as panty liners. They are narrower and the padding shorter, for ultimate protection and comfort. The padding is 10 layers thick. Light pads work wonderfully for light incontinence.
Medium The medium pads go either way. The padding is medium length and there are a total of 12 layers of fabric.
Heavy The heavy pads are 14 layers thick with 9” padding. They are great nighttime and postpartum pads because of the increased “catchment’ area. Heavy pads work well for women with heavy flow (although unfortunately, we cannot guarantee absorbency for extremely heavy periods, although many customers feel safer with cloth).
