How do I determine the direction of my flow?
Menstrual flow can vary from person to person, but also in the same person from one cycle to another. There are three types of menstrual flow direction: rear, front and central. It is important to know the direction of your flow to choose the menstrual panties adapted to your needs and to avoid leaks.
Discover the perfect model for you
To determine the direction of your flow, simply wear your menstrual panties or a sanitary pad during your period and observe the area that is wettest and fills up the fastest (PS: This is probably also where you leak the most). If the blood collects at the back of your protection, you probably have a rear menstrual flow . If the blood collects more evenly over the entire surface of your protection, it is a central menstrual flow . And if the blood collects at the front of your protection, it is a front menstrual flow.
The position of the menstrual flow can vary depending on the position of the uterus, as well as the way blood is expelled from the uterus, it also depends on the shape of the labia.
Some tips to avoid leaks depending on the direction of your flow
⦁ Back and front
Fortunately, Ora menstrual panties are suitable for every type of flow direction. At the back, the absorbent part goes up to the back of the back, in a V shape (tab), so you are fully protected from leaks that can flow out the back.
At the front, it goes up above the pubic bone, which is much higher than most other brands.
⭐ In this case, we suggest models like: High waist with mesh and Mid-rise cotton.
⦁ Central
Our menstrual panties are designed with uniform protection throughout the panty, higher absorbency and reinforcement in the crotch.
⭐ We recommend the models: Cotton Bikini , Bamboo Bikini as well as the Seamless models
Some tips to avoid leaks depending on the direction of your flow
👉 To avoid leaks, make sure the panties are the right size, comfortable and fit your lifestyle.
👉 Also, if you have a long day ahead of you, we advise you to combine your menstrual panties with a washable pad , once full, you remove it and the panties will take over.
👉 Finally, to avoid leaks, it is also important to take into account the absorbency capacity of the menstrual panties. The heavier your flow, the more you will need to opt for panties with high absorbency.
