How long does a menstrual period last?

A typical menstrual period lasts between three to seven days. However, this can vary significantly between people. Commonly, most women will have their period for about five days, with fluctuations depending on factors such as hormones, age and general health. A menstrual cycle itself generally spans 21 to 35 days.

The length of your period may be influenced by a range of factors including stress, diet, and exercise. Some women may notice their period is shorter or longer because of their health or environmental influences. Women with hormonal imbalances or underlying medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or fibroids, will also be prone to fluctuating periods.

It’s also common for menstruation patterns to change throughout a woman’s life, particularly during adolescence and perimenopause. For example, younger women might experience more irregular cycles as their bodies adjust, while older women may notice changes in flow and duration as they approach menopause.

Tracking your menstrual cycle can help with planning your month. It is also important in helping identify patterns and any significant changes that may help you to consider whether you should seek advice from your doctor.

Which pad or tampon should I use?

Pad or tampon? Super or regular? Some days it is hard to know which will be best. Think about what you might be doing that day. If you are going swimming, you will definitely need to use a tampon. If not, you can use either, or a combination to make sure you are protected from leaks. Don’t forget to consider how heavy your flow might be that day. ‘Super’ offers high absorbency, which is great for days 1 and 2 when your period is heavier. ‘Regular’ is best for medium absorbency and is usually perfect from day 3 and on. Sometimes on the last days, when your period is very light, you might even just need a liner.
