Sanitary pads or sanitary napkins, when chosen correctly, can keep you comfortable and tension free during that time of the month. When it comes to choosing a pad, there are a few things that one should keep in mind. The very first being their flow, and everything else roams around the area of your comfort. If this choice fails, it could affect a girl’s sanitary health as well leading to rashes, irritations, infections, bruises and the list can go on.
Change your pad every 4-6 hours, use anti-bacterial washes to keep any infections at bay and keep checking the pad regularly to know when it is time to change next. Apart from this, many sanitary pad manufacturers claim to have made products that can cater to every woman’s need, we have listed a few trusted sanitary pad brands that one can swear by.
The one reason why women have a favorite brand of sanitary pads is because they are comfortable with how it feels and they know firsthand that the product will not fail them. Therefore, keeping that in mind, here are the top sanitary pads which in my opinion are the best in the market currently in India.
Whisper Choice Ultra
This pad can be easily recognized from its orange colored packaging and the fact that it is so reasonable. Priced at INR 41 for a pack of 6 pads, this product is yet another quality sanitary napkin that is worthy of being tried out. I like using this pad because it is thin, comfortable, is highly absorbent, and is long and wide from the back which ensures that when you are sitting or lying on your back, the blood doesn’t get any opening to get out and cause a stain.

Whisper is the most quality assuring and widely used brand of sanitary pads used in India. They come with stretchable wings that hold the pad in place. There is a product each for extra heavy flow, heavy flow, overnight safety and long day wear. The makers guarantee comfort, safety and hygiene to be expected from all their products. Many happy customers have reviewed products ranging from Whisper Ultra Clean, Whisper Ultra Soft, Whisper Maxi Fit and Whisper Ultra Nights, and most of the reviews are positive.
Stayfree Dry Max Ultra Thin
When it comes to pads, I feel like the Stayfree dry max is a winner. It can be recognized by its purple colored packaging and are sold here for INR 83 for a pack of 7 pads. The reason why this product is so good is twofold. First, it is a pad that is sufficiently long from the back so that it covers a lot of ground on your underwear, and second, it has an amazing absorbing power. One pad will last you well over 6 hours even on your heaviest flow days, making it incredibly convenient for you because you wear this at the beginning of the day and you wouldn’t have to worry about changing it for a long time. Furthermore, it is very thin so you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable wearing it, neither will it show up in an outline form if you wear a fitted dress.

This pad is perfect for the last days of your period when your flow has reduced to the point where wearing a big pad will be a waste but not wearing one will be a silly thing to do. It retails for INR 33 for a pack of 8 pads. What makes this pad worth using is its cottony soft feel which makes it comfortable to wear, but at the same time doesn’t affect its ability to soak up blood and keep you dry. Also, even though it may look simple it is heavy duty pad that will stand up to the task.

Ease of use, reliability, breathability of the pad and safety are some of the features that the company boasts of, and they definitely deliver based on the stats.
Sofy Body Fit
Sofy is a new sanitary pad company that was launched in India a while ago, and its most famous addition to the pads was the feature of a “side wall” along with the wings, to give some extra coverage. This pad is one the most reasonable pads that are out there in the market, being sold for INR 95 for a pack of 12 pads. The thing that makes this pad a good one is its size, which is long enough to last you for a minimum of 5 hours and its thickness, which will soak up a lot of blood. The only drawback of this pad is that it is a little uncomfortable, mainly because of its thickness.
