Choosing the Right Pad for Your Flow: Ultra-Thin or Maxi Thick Pads

Choosing the right sanitary napkin pad is not just about comfort; it directly affects your confidence, protection, and overall period experience. With so many options available today, the most common question women ask is: Should I choose Ultra-Thin Pads or Maxi Thick Pads for my flow?

The answer depends on your flow intensity, lifestyle, skin sensitivity, and daily routine. In this guide, we break down the real differences between our breathable Ultra-Thin and Maxi Thick Pads, explain when each option works best, and help you make an informed decision, especially if you are dealing with heavy flow or sensitive skin.

Understanding Menstrual Flow Levels

Before selecting a period pad type, it is important to understand your flow pattern. Menstrual flow generally falls into three categories:

• Light Flow: Minimal bleeding, usually at the start or end of your period

• Moderate Flow: Consistent bleeding that requires regular pad changes

• Heavy Flow: Continuous or sudden heavy bleeding that needs high absorbency and leak protection.

However, your flow can vary from day to day, which is why having the right pad for each phase matters. Women often experience irregular bleeding with flow levels changing during periods and sometimes every month. You may experience heavy bleeding one month, and your next cycle might be light to moderate.

Luckily, we got a women’s pad for every flow. Our breathable period pads come in multiple variants to cater to light to heavy bleeding.

Let’s explore when you should be using which one.

What Are Our Ultra-Thin Sanitary Pads?

Our Ultra-Thin Pads are designed for women who want a lightweight, discreet feel during their period. These are comparatively thinner than the Maxi Thick range and much more discreet. They are perfect for easy period management and feature many innovative features.

This pad range is available with a breathable back sheet and a cottony top sheet that is gentle on the skin. The cottony top sheet is best recommended for women with sensitive skin, as it is very gentle and soft. Similarly, the breathable back sheet allows maximum air circulation for your skin.

Despite their slim appearance, they use the best protective features and absorbent technology to manage light to moderate flow.

Best For:

• Light to medium flow days

• Short outings or work hours

• Women who prefer a barely-there feel

• Wearing fitted clothing

Key Benefits

• Thin and flexible design

• Less bulk under clothes

• Easy movement and comfort

However, Ultra-Thin Pads may not provide enough protection during heavy flow days, overnight use, or for women who experience sudden gushes.

What are Our Maxi Thick Pads?

Furthermore, our Breathable Maxi Pads are designed for maximum coverage, high absorbency, and long-lasting protection. These are thicker, wider, and longer, with a super-absorbent core for the best protection and high absorbency.

They are especially helpful for women with heavy flow or those who want extra protection against leaks.

Unlike many non-breathable, thick pads, our Maxi Thick Pads prioritize breathability, skin comfort, and advanced absorption, making them a reliable choice without compromising hygiene.

Our Maxi Pads for heavy flow also feature high absorbency and technology to provide maximum comfort during heavy bleeding.
