Fral

Fral is a soft, absorbent paper-like product used for personal hygiene, particularly for women during their menstrual cycles. It is a type of feminine absorbent made from a unique blend of wood pulp and cotton fibers. Fral is designed to provide greater absorbency and leakage protection compared to traditional cotton products.

The name "Fral" is often attributed to French, meaning "folded" or "quilted," which aptly describes its layered structure. Each Fral consists of multiple layers of interwoven fibers, which enhance its ability to absorb and hold liquid. This multi-layer design allows Fral to distribute fluids evenly, reducing the risk of leaks and discomfort.

Fral has been popular in Europe, particularly in France and the UK, for several decades. Its users praise its effectiveness, comfort, and ease of use. In contrast to traditional cotton pads or tampons, Fral is often praised for its minimal bleeding and odor protection.

While not as widely available as traditional period products, Fral can be found in specialty stores, online retailers, and some pharmacies catering to women's intimate care. Some manufacturers market Fral as a more environmentally friendly option due to its recyclable packaging and minimal chemical content.

As with any personal hygiene product, users are advised to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for use and disposal. Additional resources on menstrual health and hygiene practices can be consulted from reputable organizations and healthcare professionals for more comprehensive information.
