① how dirty are sanitary napkins?
Women in menstruation have poor resistance. If they do not pay attention to nursing, they will cause various discomfort. A statistical data in China as early as 1996 showed that 38% of the people who used unqualified sanitary napkins would suffer from serious gynecological diseases; 73% of women will feel local skin itching, burning and burning pain during menstruation; About 80% of women will also have high fever, headache, abdominal pain and other symptoms.
This is because the female pelvic cavity, uterus, cervix, vagina and external environment are all connected, and such a structure makes the female reproductive system vulnerable to external pathogenic substances. Especially during menstruation, the resistance of reproductive organs decreases, making them more vulnerable than usual. If you use substandard sanitary napkins, you are prone to infection.
In addition, menstrual blood is rich in nutrients, which has become a “culture medium” for bacteria to flourish. An experiment showed that the total number of bacteria on the surface of ordinary sanitary napkins could reach 107 per square centimeter after continuous use for 2 hours.
②. You need to change 6 times for every extra day.
Relevant surveys show that Japanese women change sanitary napkins on average six times a day during menstruation, while Chinese women only change sanitary napkins three times.
A good sanitary napkin must, on the premise of ensuring that it is basically free of bacteria, focus on two points: good absorption rate and high permeability. Otherwise, it may cause bacteria to breed and enter the human body because it creates a closed and dry environment for private parts. If it is a poor sanitary napkin, it may greatly increase the probability of inflammation because the material contains impurities and has poor absorption.
Women had better change sanitary napkins frequently. When the flow is large, it is best to change them every 2-3 hours. When the flow is small, it should not exceed 4-5 hours; Even if it comes to menstruation, you should wash your vulva every day. The more your menstruation, the more you should pay attention to washing.
In addition, before use and replacement, wash your hands to prevent germs from spreading to sanitary napkins.
③. For sensitive skin, use soft cotton, and choose dry when traveling.
Sanitary napkins on the market are mainly divided into dry and soft ones from the perspective of surface materials. How to choose according to individual physique and physiological characteristics is a lot of knowledge.
The dry mesh sanitary napkin uses a chemical fiber material called “perforated membrane”, which is characterized by a fast water penetration rate, but chemical fibers may increase the probability of allergy. Most of the cotton mesh is made of non-woven fabric, which is extracted from cotton. It is more natural and soft, and suitable for most women.
Skin sensitivity: choose products with soft cotton surface to avoid allergy and excessive friction. However, if you need to travel and take a car for a long time, you may as well use a dry surface to accelerate the absorption of menstrual blood, so as to reduce the damp, stuffy and hot feeling and reduce the risk of infection.
④, Inner tampons should also be used carefully heart
The built-in tampon is a menstrual sanitary napkin placed in the vagina. It gently clings to the vaginal wall and can absorb all menstrual blood in the body. So it can prevent leakage and keep the body clean and dry.
The tampon is inserted into the vagina to form a closed space. If it is not replaced regularly, it is easy to cause the rapid growth of normal bacteria in the vagina, resulting in infection and inflammation. When the menstrual blood volume is too small, if you are not diligent in changing tampons, there will be menstrual blood reflux after long-term use, which will cause gynecological diseases such as endometriosis. If it is used, it should be changed every 2 to 3 hours.
