These days, women have got several options when it comes to period management.
While some women find tampons to be the gold-standard in period management, other women are anxious about, or prone to, the potentially-fatal 'Toxic Shock Syndrome', or just find tampons plain uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there are other good alternatives like the menstrual cup, most non-tampon users prefer the basic pad, and have got more power to them.
To shorten the long story, the way you manage your periods is more important than what you are using. Great care should be the taken at this point to avoid any risks.
Have you ever asked yourself if there are any consequences that can come about when you decide to wear one pad for way too long?
Of course, there are so many risks, all are messy, noisy and they come with causalities.
A lot of women are guilty of this mistake because most of them either forget to change the pads or just assume, for different reasons including 'wasting pads, light flow, among others.'
Remember this is one of the worst things to do. If you do not change your pads frequently, at least every 6-8 hours, you risk getting the following:
1. Rashes

2. Vaginal yeast infections
One of the side effects of this infection will be the bad odor.
