Pads should be changed at least every 4-6 hours - so you're looking at 4 pads minimum. It depends on how heavy your flow is, what absorbency you're using, and other facts such as if you need to change a pad early like if you go in the shower. Everyone is different, some women will use far more than 4 pads per day, but again this is the minimum needed for basic hygiene.

How many pads are normal to go through a day...and are pads or tampons more sanitary Thanks -Rae?

How many pads you go through in a day depends on your flow and what pads you're using. You should be changing pads at least every 4-6 hours, so from around 4 pads per day is normal.Pads are more hygienic than tampons, this is because tampons allow major bacterial growth in the vagina while preventing vaginal cleaning, pads at least allow the vagina to continue cleaning itself as normal. Commercial pads such as Always or Kotex aren't very hygienic as they prevent air-flow which means blood can't dry and you become sweaty so bacteria and yeast can thrive - if you use pads it's best to use cloth pads such as Lunapads or Gladrags, or at least organic pads like Emerita or Maxim. There are also other menstrual products such as menstrual cups or softcups.

How many pads should on place on a bed?

Sanitary pads don't go onto the bed, they go into your underwear - attached either with adhesive or snap-fastens.
