Yeah it is.. The first day comes with pains too...hmmm its indeed well

For the pains, I use Felvin 20 at least 2 days before the cycle. It's been effective for me as I used to take injections prior the prescription by a Pharmacist.
You should try it. It goes for N100 per sachet.

Stench?
I don't know of any stench but there are ways of taking care of it though

Sorry for using the word stench. Maybe I should have used something else. That funny smell that blood exudes is what I am talking about.

Juliearth:






Its obvious you don't understand what I wrote. Did you read the clause where I said these things should be made free for those in rural dwellings who can't afford it? Sex is a choice, but menstruation is not, so why put a clause on it? Must you drag this feminism charade into everything? Or do you think it's every woman here that is a feminist? You can do better, please. So if our mothers used crude methods to manage their flow, should we do the same in this jet age? Please read about cervical cancer that some mothers of "that" age are suffering from and its root cause (one of them being poor menstrual hygiene), maybe you would jettison this "what did our mothers use" line.

I can see you have a problem digesting things through pellucidly? what is my business with those staying in the rural areas? Their hands and legs are amputated that they cant work for money abi? feminists should establish pad making factories & share them out for free. PERIOD

You cant compare condoms to pad because condoms are used as protection from sexually transmitted diseases. Pads on the other hand are used by the female gender and should for no reason whatsoever be given preferential or special attention because women are equal to men. If Men are not asking for supports from the government or NGO's to purchase personal stuffs, women shouldn't be asking too. This isn't Equality, it is superiority

What's per cycle, per month?

Per cycle per month is



When u look at it now eh... U ask ya sef per cycle cuz per month that is per cycle per month in a cycle pa motunde cycle per month....

What I now meant is that per cycle will per per cycle per month

All this NGO should do some thing for the ladies pls. When you go for HIV test they give u free male condoms. Why can de dash free pads in school and hospitals.

Ishilove:

I have never heard of reusable pads. Can I have their contact?

Reusable/washable sanitary towels. I think they are been sold on Jumia. You can try other superstores too.

Mac12:


During my service year in camp, we were given condoms for free, I got 30pieces.

Yes, This is very commendable because it is for the benefit of both genders.
but pads on the other hand are used by women alone, so it shouldn't be anybody's responsibilty except her parents perhaps. Nobody owe's you any support on what should be your responsibilities.. Women Should Establish pad making industries where they can be shared for free. it is not the responsibility of the government to buy you pads. This Is Equality

Perfecttouchade:
Ok

I'm the one chatting with you sir

Will try it . I usually take ibruofen tablet once it starts...Then another dose of it at night usually only on the first day.It has really happened though and the remaining days just the heavy flow palava

Nuttella:
While I'm looking for an extra extra long pad, someone is cutting pad into two, wow! Babe, how do you do it?

Why I cut it is because some part don't get stained so I just cut it into equal half then am good to go

You know sometimes pad makes the v line in one's trouser swollen
I don't like that at all

You're welcome.

Yea, neighborhood supermarkets do not stock them, but you know on the other-side, we are surrounded by premium supermarkets.

Lmao. You are not serious

For the heavy flow use tranexamic acid. It helps with the pain and cuts down the volume. Tested and trusted. It's about N600 or so

I see no sense in the comparison between pad and condoms though.
It waters down your advocacy. Just like I hear people calling for nationwide protests condemning the youths because of BBN. There is really no basis there for comparison.


That being said, I support the call for sanitary pad subsidy.

#padsubsidy

Oh thanks .Hope no severe side effects

Cocao:
The responses here shows that men are very uneducated about this, intentionally ignorant or simply too grossed out.

Just know that you don't have to respond

Don't generalize. That's prolly some little boys getting infantile.

Men are just reading and learning...

Nmezor:
Oh thanks .Hope no severe side effects

None at all. Just take one a day for two days. Don't take more than that because you will notice that the flow has reduced and won't need to take more, unless you want it to become very scanty.

Nyamuriflathead:


the thing nor tire you?

Cant you see where this is going? we'll soon have a MOD for women affairs on Nairaland or a Minister for Menstrual cycle affairs in Nigeria. The same people abusing the term feminism on twitter are the ones coming to nairaland to garner sympathy on what should be their own problems. What is our business with menstrual cycle flow and Pads? Why Cant Those idiots constituting Nuisance on cyberspace all in the name of feminism establish a charity pad making factory and foundations that can sell pads at cheaper prices or subsidize them for their fellow women. They shout equality but cant even help themselves, they need to cry wolf to garner sympathy from the male gender. Nonesense

the only thing i can think of if you use more than expected number of pads is suspected fibroid

I use the best tissue in the market, I flush it down the toilet after every pee, Good and hygienic for me.

All these people ask for m.pains pills please be careful of the kind of medication you take. Don't go and take what will have an adverse effect on you in future. Y'all have different body and what works for A may not work for B.

I saw a post where someone said she takes a medication that makes her flow scanty so she doesn't have to spend much on pad. Hmmm I pity you.

Well its true if you are using a very thick pad, the one I use is not like that.

We need to talk

About??

dario078:


By girlfriend do you mean lover or female friend? If she is your lover then you should be utterly ashamed of yourself.

If she is just a platonic friend,why can't you help her as a friend instead of coming here to put her business in public?

I hate basketmouth guys!

You don't recognize a sarcastic post when you see one!

I'm more concerned how you dispose it, especially when u're in d hostel, or a floored compound

naniawini:
but tampon is abi... Anyways ur opinion

There's a reason the word Sanitary is used in relation to these products. Ideally, they are produced and packaged in a sterile environment. You're definitely introducing foreign pathogenes inside your vagina with your practice.
