star5/5

I really liked it alot. It was very comfortable. It was the same as I had imagined. It is broad, long, wide, soft and long-lasting too. It gave me no problems. I will give 5 stars to this pad.

Just like I imagined! 5 stars!

This one was quite smooth, and soft. The feeling was good, comfortable. I thought the blue line was there because it could soak more. It was a nice feeling. Not ‘on periods’ feeling. I think sanitary pads brand absorbs more. I would like to recommend this as the best pads for periods in India.

Didn’t ‘feel’ the period!

star4.5/5

No leakage, the upper layer is very soft, and smooth and works for a longer period of time. I change my current pad 6-7 times while with RIO sanitary pads, I change only 4-5 times. The blue part that I liked I feel is absorbing more, no leakage at all. These are the best pads for periods.

Lasts really long!

Yeh period pads bilkul bhi uncomfortable nahi hai, ekdum lightweight hai aur theek se mere clots absorb karta hai. Mujhe malum hi nahi pada ki clots waha hai. Wo joh chip chipa tha woh poora absorb kar liya. Real mein mujhe bathroom mein jane ki wapas jarurat nahi padi. RIO is one of the best sanitary pads brands in India.

No need to go to the bathroom!

Benefits of RIO Pads

RIO sanitary pads are heavy-duty pads built for maximum absorption and comfort. A few features of the RIO heavy flow pad that make it superior to the average sanitary pad are as follows:

  1. XL from every angle: RIO heavy flow pads are 350mm in length & 140mm in width, a dimension we found most suited to the body structure of the Indian woman. Being thicker, longer and wider makes RIO pads perfect, especially for women dealing with bleeding and heavy clotting from menorrhoea, PCOS, PCOD and menopause. This pad with double wings and raised side leak guards make sure that no matter how heavy your floor leaks and spills occur no more!
  2. Engineered for absorption: RIO sanitary pads are equipped with an Acquisition Dispersion Layer or ADL gel-layer that helps spread menstrual blood through the length of the pad, making sure RIO pad users do not experience sticky wetness. The menstrual fluid is then soaked by high-quality SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer), a powder-like substance that can absorb water up to a hundred times its mass by turning it into a gel. It is the presence of this SAP an ADL that makes RIO pads the perfect defence against spurts, gushes, and large-sized clots.
  3. World Class Ingredients: RIO pads will always put your body first. During our research to develop workable prototypes for RIO pads for heavy flow, we found that the fragrance layer used on sanitary pads may contain chemicals linked to cervical cancer. Thus, we make sure our heavy flow pads are free of artificial fragrances and chlorine, latex, or other chemicals that may cause rashes or irritate your skin. Instead, our pads are finished with a soft cotton top-layer that allows for greater softness and comfort. Our antibacterial Japanese SAP technology, meanwhile, helps provide a guaranteed odour lock, eliminating the need for artificial fragrances.
  4. Leak-Proof: While developing prototypes for the ideal RIO pad in 2020, we studied leakproof technologies used in both diapers and menstrual pads across the world. Diapers, we found, are equipped with a slim band along their sides, where the inner thighs would normally be. This slim material is made of waterproof, or what is scientefically called "hydrophobic material" that keeps fluid from leaking down the thigh gap. While developing RIO Heavy Flow Pads, we borrowed this technology as an addition to wings. The RIO heavy Flow pad thus has front wings, back wings which prevent the pad from rolling up, and side leak guards to make sure there is no leakage at all!

RIO pads versus regular sanitary napkins

Gushing hormones, backaches, headaches, debilitating abdominal pain一we understand that periods are not an easy experience. Which is why, as you deal with the world, RIO heavy flow pads aim to at least take your mind off the fear of leaks and constant changes.

  2. RIO pads are latex-, sulphate- and chemical-free, making sure your skin remains safe from harmful materials.

When to use a heavy flow pad?

Heavy flow and achy cramps are often symptoms of periods. However debilitating pain, irregular flow or frequent clotting that acts as a constant interruption to your daily life can be caused due to various conditions, including hormonal imbalances, dysfunction of the ovaries, uterine fibroids, polyps, pregnancy complications, PCOS and PCOD. Usually, women lose an average of 30 to 40 millilitres of blood during a period, however, women with heavy bleeding may lose up to 80 millilitres in a single period. If you are having to change your pad or tampon every few hours, especially during the night, you are possibly experiencing heavy flow and should consult your doctor to understand your symptoms better. Your doctor may prescribe certain tablets, hormonal treatments or diet changes to help you deal with your symptoms. They may even prescribe special products such as RIO heavy flow pads to make sure you aren’t worried by leaks or frequent pad changes.
