Should I Wear Pads for a Discharge?

Should I wear pads for a discharge?

Dr. Farah Kroman:  Vaginal discharge is normal and is there to keep you healthy. It prevents infection and lubricates. Some girls have more than others. Pads are designed to absorb quite a bit of blood flow. Instead, try using a breathable liner changed every few hours. This should be enough to keep you feeling fresh and will allow a lot more air to circulate. However, if your discharge is really heavy and you are getting it every day, perhaps you should see your Dr for a check-up.
