Spotting vs Your Period: What's the Difference?
How to distinguish light spotting from actual menstrual cycle flow.
Spotting refers to very light vaginal bleeding that occurs outside of your regular menstrual period. It is usually light pink or brownish in color and leaves small flecks on underwear.
Key Differences:
- Flow Volume: Spotting is minimal and does not require heavy absorbent pads. Period flow requires dedicated sanitary pads.
- Duration: Spotting lasts a few hours to 1-2 days, whereas periods typically span 3 to 7 days.
- Management: Spotting can be managed effortlessly with Sofnest Panty Liners.
