A sanitary pad isn’t only for women. Every woman should know this simple trick. Just cut a sanitary pad into smaller pieces and use it in ways you might not even have thought of!
Many people don’t know how sanitary pads can be used
If you’re troubled by sweaty feet, pads will work as absorbent liners. Simply take a pad, put it in your shoe or slipper, and when it becomes soaked you can easily replace it. This method is simple, and you can use it whenever you need to.
Another tip is to insert a piece of a sanitary pad, for example under a headband when you go running. This method was invented by a famous fitness trainer who tried it and found that the pad absorbs sweat excellently. You can also use a pad on a bleeding wound that you can’t bandage. The pad is absorbent and it’s a hygienic solution. You can cut the pad to size as needed and tape only the affected area.
You can also use a pad in your bra
Many mothers who are breastfeeding may be troubled by milk leaking from their breasts. After a while the milk can get through the bra and cause a mess. Although bra pads are designed for this purpose (you can choose cloth or disposable), a sanitary pad also works well — you can cut it as needed and if it gets soaked you can easily replace it. You can also keep pieces of pad in your handbag to have them on hand.
Just as sweaty feet can bother people, sweaty armpits can too. After a stressful and demanding day, even the best antiperspirant may not handle the sweat. If you don’t have the option to get under a shower, a sanitary pad can help freshen your armpit. Place it so the absorbent side adheres to the armpit. As with the previous tips, simply replace it with another piece when needed.
Modern sanitary pads have excellent absorbency and are very thin, so they won’t be visible in a bra or under the arms, and they won’t press on your feet in shoes.
