Pads With Wings
Wings are the extra material on the sides of your pad that fold over the sides of your underwear. Pads with wings help secure your pad in place and help provide protection against leaks during your period. CVS carries a wide range of different pads with wings, including the brands you know and love such as Always, Stayfree, and U by Kotex. Pads with wings come in a variety of absorbency sizes, including sizes 1 through 5. You can find Overnight pads with wings at CVS too, as well as options that are either scented or unscented.
Select styles of pads with wings include:
Always Maxi Pads are designed to absorb more liquid, making them a perfect choice for heavy days. They are made with 3X protection system: RapidDry™, OdorLock™, and LeakGuard™, to ensure your comfort throughout your period. RapidDry eliminates gushes quickly and effectively, while LeakGuard protects against leakage.
Stayfree Ultra Thin pads bring you all-in-one multi-fluid absorption™ for periods, leaks, and moisture. They include a soft cotton cover for comfort, an anti-leak core to keep fluid trapped inside, and a leak-protection ring that prevents leaks from occurring in any direction. They also help to neutralize odor.
U by Kotex AllNighter Ultra Thin pads boast soft sides and Tru-Fit wings for exceptional comfort and a reliable, secure fit. Their XPRESS DRI® core is designed to draw in and lock away moisture and wetness. They are both lotion and fragrance free.
How To Use Pads With Wings
It's important to choose the pads with wings you need based on the heaviness of your menstrual flow. Smaller sizes are made for lighter days, while larger sizes are designed for heavy-flow days. Pads with wings made for overnight use typically have a longer back to give you extra protection against leaks while you sleep.
A good rule of thumb is that you should change your pad every 4 to 8 hours, but this can depend on your menstrual flow and your own personal level of comfort.
How To Wear Pads With Wings
Wear your pads with wings as you would any other pad during your menstrual flow. You might need to select a few different absorbency sizes depending on the lightness or the heaviness of your flow.
How To Put On Pads With Wings
You can wear pads with wings as you would a normal pad apart from applying the 'wing' portion of the pad. Simply center the adhesive portion of your pad onto the part of your underwear that sits between your legs. Remove the backing (if there is one) on the wings and adhere each wing securely to the underside of your underwear.
