How to choose the right size

The first time you get your period, you might want to try a regular sized napkin (also known as a pad) or tampon.
If the regular size seems to be filling up too quickly, then try a longer size pad.
If after a few hours it looks like there’s not much blood there, then you can switch to a regular pad or a lesser absorbency tampon.
