Sanitary pads are not supposed to be sterile like medical syringes etc, so if they have crossed the expiry date, they could be used. But as a precaution, why not use a fresh pack? or one withing the expiry period. You may call the company's help line to know more of the pads in question. Home made pads can also be used if money is the concern about using pads beyond their expiry date.

Hello, Sanitary pads are still safe as you cannot forget them inside which is often seen with non regular users, and then can cause infection. So sanitary pads are better.

If you are sexually active and are not using any regular contraception I would advice you to do a urine pregnancy test first. If negative then get a thyroid function and Hb done. If these are normal and your cycles continue to be regular but scanty then it is important to exclude pelvic infection including tuberculosis.

Yes it is safe to use. You can also think of menstrual cups. They are very easy and better than pads.

Menstrual cups are generally not so harmful but it comes up with a little risk and complications that may occur in rare cases. Minor symptoms include irritation that may happen for various reasons including - 1) inserting cup without using a proper lubricant, wearing cup of wrong size, and if the cup is not cleaned properly. It is recommended to read the manufacturer's guidelines before its use. 2) infection is one of the rare complications of using a menstrual cup. In the majority of cases, the infection travels from your hands to the menstrual cup and eventually to the body. Reduce such risks by washing your hands by warm water and using proper antibacterial soaps before touching the menstrual cup. 3) rare but the most serious complication of using menstrual cups is toxic shock syndrome (tss). This is a bacterial infection and it occurs when pre-existing bacteria (staphylococcus or streptococcus), that stays on your skin, nose, or mouth, is pushed deep inside your body.
