To properly use sanitary pads for menstrual hygiene, first wash your hands with soap and water. Remove the pad from its packaging and peel off the adhesive backing. Place the pad sticky side down on the center of your underwear, making sure it is positioned correctly. Change the pad every 4-6 hours or as needed to maintain cleanliness and prevent leaks. Dispose of used pads in a trash bin, not in the toilet. Wash your hands again after changing the pad.
