How to Use a Sanitary Napkin (Pad)
If you just got your period, you'll most likely want to start by using a sanitary napkin, or pad. They're simple to use and easier than tampons. The process can be a little intimidating because you have to get it right or that white-pants-in-front-of-my-crush-idea will totally backfire. Avoid the mess, the fuss, and the worry and start with Step 1 below.
1. Choose a pad of the appropriate thickness, absorbency, shape and style.
2. Get in position. Most girls change their pads when they need to hit the girls' room, but sometimes the desire strikes you at empty-bladder times, too. Whatever it is, find the nearest bathroom, wash your hands.
- It'll be easiest if you're sitting down and your undies are around your knees. Standing is fine, too; you just want everything in an arm's reach.
3. Fold out the flaps, or wings, and take off the long, center backing that covers the adhesive on the center.
4. Stick the adhesive part to your panties. You want the pad to be directly beneath your vagina -- not creeping up your front or climbing up your rear! If you're going to do a bit of lying down, you may want to align it a little further back, but you probably have a good idea of where it would be the most effective. You'll get better with practice at centering the pad front to back very soon!
- Got wings? Make sure to fold those around the outside of your panties so that they stick. They'll keep the pad from moving around as you move, which will be way more comfortable and feel a lot more natural.

Change the pad every few hours as needed to avoid odors.
