period cramp relief

Period pads are offered in several labeled absorbency levels to match different flow needs, commonly including Regular, Super, Heavy, and Overnight.

Herbal cooling pads typically use plant-based infusions—commonly mint, aloe vera, and lavender—that produce a minty or herbal cooling/tingling sensation intended to feel soothing during use.

Package counts vary by product, with common options including 8, 12, 16, 20, and 60 units depending on the item and brand.

Menstrual discs are typically made from medical-grade polymers or silicone/TPR elastomer. Period pads commonly use cotton or synthetic covers (such as polypropylene) combined with absorbent cores.

Capacity is often expressed in tampon-equivalents: one-time-use discs are described as holding about the equivalent of 5+ super tampons (around 60 mL), while reusable discs are described as holding up to the equivalent of 6+ super tampons (around 70 mL).

Menstrual discs are not a form of birth control and do not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Single-use discs are disposable and not reusable. Product instructions may include specific cautions—such as avoiding use if you have a history of toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
