Most women experience their heaviest flow on the first or second day of their periods, but it can be different for everyone as period flow can peak at different times. We recommend that you use your Q-Pads on days where you would expect to fill a regular absorbency pad within 4-8 hours.

When using the Q-Pads it's important to try and completely fill the green oval on the pads. For most women this takes 2-4 hours, but could be as quick as 30 minutes or take a full 8 hours. We recommend checking on your Q-Pad every hour if it is your first time using the Q-Pad.
