These products are designed to absorb or manage the menstrual flow, and/or the flow of bodily fluids from the vulva, in support of personal hygiene and comfort (Center for Young Women's Health).

Feminine hygiene products are usually designed and labelled accordingly by their ability to accommodate a user's specific needs for absorption based on the expected amount of menstrual flow. Menstrual flow consists of the uterine lining which has been shed through the cervix and passes out of the body through the vulva. Menstrual flow can be absorbed and managed by feminine hygiene products for the comfort of the user.
