What is what?
There are many different products and the jargon can be quite tricky to follow at times. And also, what product should you use when?! The short answer is: it all depends on age, flow, occasion and where you are in your cycle. Here's a guide that can be useful when looking for the ideal sanitary protection.

When to use what?
Each individual is unique and so is your flow. Some bleed a lot, some less. But never more than about four table spoons. Find the product that fits your needs at a specific time in your cycle.
-
The start of a period
When your period is on its way but you don’t know exactly when it’ll happen, we recommend you wear thick liners.
-
Period
In this phase all of our products; towels, thick liners and tampons are suitable – depending on your flow. Remember to use a product that has the right absorption for your flow. Check out our drop symbol system.
-
End of Period
Towards the end of the period the flow is usually lighter and then any liner can be used.
-
In-between periods
Between periods, our light liners are an easy way to keep dry and fresh every day.
-
Ovulation
During your ovulation you might experience an increase of discharge, and thin liners and absorbent liners are usually the most suitable.

What does the icon mean?
-
Absorption
Bodyform has a drop system on its packaging to clarify absorption capacity. This is to help you find the best product for your needs throughout the month. The 6 drops represent from light to very heavy absorption. Our towels have a highly absorbent core which captures the liquid and keeps it inside the towel. The body-balanced super-absorbent pearls help soak up any fluid quickly and keep it away from the body.
-
Odour Control
Odour can be caused by bacteria. Keep bacteria from growing and you reduce odours. Bodyform's SAP is a super-absorbent material that not only absorbs and traps large amounts of moisture, it also fights odour. By creating a low pH environment (acidic), SAP hampers bacterial growth and neutralises the risk of creating odour. Bodyform products reduce odour using nature’s own chemistry so that you can feel fresh and confident.
-
Secure fit
The SecureFit™ Technology makes a Bodyform product fit your body perfectly, because it has a front and back, just like you. The towel therefore follows your body movements so that you feel secure at all times no matter what you do.
-
Breathable back material
The backside material on Body form towels consists of a thin plastic film with small breathable pores that mean there’s no build up of heat and humidity in this sensitive area, while also stopping any liquids penetrating beyond the towel. This is accomplished by mixing calcium carbonate with the plastic material. When the material is thinned out, pores are formed. These pores let your skin breathe. Bodyform liners with breathable back material maintain a woman’s natural balance.
-
Surface material
The layer of towel next to your skin must be as soft as possible to prevent irritation, yet still keep you dry. Our cotton soft material lives up to its name and has microscopic ventilation to carry away moisture and keep your skin dry. The surface even has small patterns to keep you extra comfortable. The result is the kind of comfort that is so natural, you’ll find yourself not thinking about it.
-
Body-balanced PH
The pH-level of the skin is about more than just dryness and softness. It is vital for preventing irritation and infection. Maintaining a low pH-level (acidic) helps prevent bacteria from growing. Bodyform products with odour control hamper bacterial growth by balancing the body’s own pH levels and neutralising basal components that create odour. Balanced pH is yet another reason that you’ll feel secure when you wear Bodyform.
