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!

4.5/5

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 makes it superior to the average sanitary pad are as follows:

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.

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.

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 allow for greater softness and comfort. Our antibacterial Japanese SAP technology, meanwhile, helps provide a guaranteed odour lock eliminating the need for artificial fragrances.

Leak-Proof: While developing prototypes for the ideal RIO pad, we studied leakproof technologies used in both diapers and menstrual pads. Diapers, we found, are equipped with a slim band made of hydrophobic material that keeps fluid from spilling onto the thighs. While developing RIO Heavy Flow Pads, we borrowed this technology as a replacement to wings, which we found create a convex shape that allows liquid to pass through gaps. Hydrophobic guards on RIO heavy flow pads, meanwhile, act as a lining along the length of the pad and counter these gaps.

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.

Compared to the regular sanitary pad, RIO heavy flow pads are longer, thicker and wider. This allows more space for the collection of menstrual fluid, and a sense of security to wearers of RIO pads.
RIO pads are latex-, suplhate- and chemical-free, making sure your skin remains safe from harmful materials.
While normal sanitary pads last 2-3 hours in the face of heavy flow. RIO pads are engineered to last up to 6 hours. This provides sufferers of heavy flow relief from regular changes.
RIO pads are equipped with a SAP filling that enhances absorption and provides an anti-bacterial odor lock.
While RIO Heavy Flow Pads are not yet biodegradable, in a means to reduce our plastic footprint, we have eliminated the disposable plastic wrap that regular sanitary napkins come with.

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 milliliters of blood during a period, however women with heavy bleeding may lose upto 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.

How to use RIO heavy flow pads

RIO heavy flow pads can be purchased at your chemist or online on e-commerce sites including Amazon and Flipkart. To use the pad, situate yourself in a clean dry place and extract one pad from our pack. Paste the pad firmly onto the crotch area of your panty and use your forefinger and thumb to adjust the standing leg guard to make sure it sticks up from the pad surface. Now, wear the panty and smoothen with your hands to make sure the RIO heavy flow pad covers you from front to back. So far, thousands of women who suffer from menorrhagia, PCOD, PCOS, menopause and other such conditions have switched to a stress-free period with RIO sanitary pads, and swear by us.
