You will need to make a thick long wad of toilet tissue. Sometimes toilet tissue is too rough, however, and it can cause irritation and soreness to your skin. Pads are also good. They are designed to fit neatly between your body and your panties. They have strips of tape that keep them attached to your panties, and your panties help to hold the pads close to the opening of the vagina.
Pads have a plastic lining to minimise leekages.
If you use pads, you need to throw them down a pit latrine or burn them after use. Do not flush them down the toilet, as they will cause blockage. Some women use tampons which are small, hard, cotton objects that are pushed up into the vagina during menstruation. The cotton softens as it absorbs all the blood that comes into the vagina from the uterus. Attached to the tampon is a little soft cotton thread which hangs out of the vagina.
