ILP's are great for adding absorbency to your main pad or for solo use on those ultra light or spotting days. As well they are great for a number of reasons:
1. offer a way to absorb the menstrual flow closer to the vagina
2. helps control "gushing" or how the menstrual flow exits the vagina
3. easily distributes menstrual flow to the main pad
4. aids in preventing "channeling" this happens especially overnight when the menstrual flow travels between the buttocks
Keep in mind the ILP is held in place by the labia so do remember to remove before visiting the bathroom, otherwise it will drop into the toilet.
Change and maintain as you would your cloth pads.

To use simply stand wide or use your fingers to gently spread the labia majora (vaginal lips) with your free hand press the ILP close the the vagina. Come back to a regular standing position and make adjustments where necessary.
These ILP's will cover the urethra and clitoris as well.
