A sanitary napkin and method of use. The sanitary napkin includes a length of material having a first end and a second end. A marking is disposed on a first end of the length of material. The length of material includes a plurality of perforations dividing the length of material into individual panels. The length of material is configured to maintain a folded configuration via folding of the individual panels along the perforations. A method of using the sanitary napkin includes folding the first end over the second, tearing the length of material along one of the perforations, folding an endmost panel over an adjacent panel, folding the first end over the second end, applying the panel having the marking thereon to the anus region in order to remove fecal matter therefrom, and folding the panel having the marking thereon downward toward the endmost panel.
