—— Proper Storage Tips for Long-Term Product Quality
Sanitary pads are made with high-absorbency core materials designed to quickly absorb menstrual flow. However, this excellent absorbency also makes them prone to absorbing moisture from the air, especially in humid environments.
If pads are not stored correctly, especially after opening, the following issues may arise:
Moisture damage – causing pads to soften and lose structure
Mold growth – damp environments promote bacterial and fungal development
Hygiene risks – such as odors or even insect contamination
For bulk sanitary pad buyers like distributors, brand owners, or institutional purchasers, proper storage throughout the supply chain is crucial to ensure product integrity from factory to end user.
Recommended Storage Practices:
Keep in a dry, clean environment – avoid storing near bathrooms or sinks
Use within 2–3 months after opening – especially for large packs or wholesale stock
Seal packaging after use – reseal opened bags to limit exposure to air and moisture
At GTPAPER, we offer moisture-resistant packaging designs to support long-distance shipping and warehouse storage for our OEM/ODM partners.

While this is a question from end users, it’s highly relevant for private label brands and distributors who want to educate their customers and reduce post-sale complaints.
Factors influencing changing frequency:
Menstrual flow level – heavier flow requires more frequent changes
Time of day – more activity during the day leads to quicker saturation
Usage scenarios – such as travel, long meetings, or overnight use
General Recommendations:
During the day: Change every 2–3 hours, regardless of flow volume
Heavy flow: Change immediately if the pad feels wet or at risk of leaking
At night: Use overnight pads or period panties designed for long wear, but still change if discomfort or leakage occurs
For brand owners and sanitary pad resellers, including clear usage instructions on packaging or marketing materials helps build trust and demonstrates product professionalism.
