What should women pay attention to when using sanitary napkins? Did you use sanitary napkins correctly?

For female friends, sanitary napkins are something they use every month, which is the simplest thing for women, but there are always some female friends who don't know much about the common sense of using sanitary napkins in life, and some are crops. Below, I will give you a detailed introduction to the matters needing attention in using sanitary napkins.

1. Did you use sanitary napkins correctly?

1, a large number of purchases at home

Some women like to buy a lot of goods in the promotion of shopping malls and hoard them at home to use slowly. In fact, sanitary napkins, like food, also have a service life. The closer to the production date, the more assured the quality of sanitary napkins. Because high-temperature disinfection is used to achieve sterility, the validity period of one-time disinfection and sterilization is limited after all, and sterility cannot be guaranteed beyond the time limit. Therefore, when using sanitary napkins, we must pay attention to the expiration date, and don't buy too many at a time. Not suitable for families to hide for a long time. Especially in the south, the weather is humid, it can't be used up at once, and it is easy to be moldy and polluted. Generally speaking, women can buy one or two menstrual cycles and keep them at home.

Step 2 store it in the bathroom

Some women put sanitary napkins in the locker in the bathroom for convenience. Compared with other rooms in the home, the bathroom is the wettest, and some family bathrooms are even dark all day. As we all know, when sanitary napkins are wet, bacteria are more likely to invade. Unsealed sanitary napkins should be placed in a dry and clean place and should not be used again after being wetted.

3. I like to use medical sanitary napkins

At present, many medical sanitary napkins on the market will say that they have antibacterial, bacteriostatic, antipruritic, dysmenorrhea, discomfort and balance the pH value of female private parts. If women really suffer from gynecological diseases, these sanitary napkins will definitely not play a therapeutic role, and women without diseases can't prevent the occurrence of diseases if they use them.

Some medical sanitary napkins may destroy the acid-base balance of private parts, cause flora imbalance, reduce the self-immunity and cleaning effect of private parts, and are more vulnerable to bacterial invasion. For women with sensitive constitution, medical sanitary napkins should be used with caution, because it may cause skin allergies and itching in private parts. People with sensitive skin had better choose cotton sanitary napkins that are soft and comfortable and less irritating to the skin.

4. I feel that white sanitary napkins are cleaner.

Some women like white sanitary napkins. The whiter they feel psychologically, the cleaner and healthier they may be, which is more conducive to their health. In fact, it may be just the opposite. White sanitary napkins may be added with fluorescent agents and whitening agents, which may be harmful to health after long-term use. How can I know whether the sanitary towel I use contains fluorescent agent? The method of ultraviolet lamp irradiation detection was once circulated on the Internet. However, the accuracy and safety of this detection method have been questioned by professionals, and ordinary consumers are not encouraged to use ultraviolet light sources at home because ultraviolet light is harmful to human body. In addition, it is inaccurate to observe with the naked eye whether there is blue light after ultraviolet irradiation, which is greatly influenced by the subjectivity of the observer.

How to distinguish whether sanitary napkins contain fluorescent agents, consumers can do very little. It is recommended to choose sanitary napkins of big brands as far as possible, and not to use a certain brand for a long time (unless you know it is very safe and reliable). Different brands often change to use to reduce the accumulation of harmful substances that sanitary napkins may contain in the body.

5. Do not change sanitary napkins for a long time.

Nowadays, many sanitary napkins are under the banner of large absorption capacity. When it is inconvenient to change sanitary napkins frequently, there will be no side leakage problem due to excessive blood volume. Therefore, sanitary napkins with large absorption capacity are very popular. People are all inert. Once some women use absorbent sanitary napkins in large quantities, they will be "lazy" not to change sanitary napkins for a long time, resulting in poor local ventilation and bacterial reproduction, thus inducing various gynecological diseases. Even if you like sanitary napkins with high absorption, don't forget to change them every two hours or so.

6. Don't wash your hands before changing sanitary napkins

Many people remember to wash their hands before and after meals, but it is best to wash their hands before changing sanitary napkins. Because the process of manual unpacking, opening, smoothing and pasting of sanitary napkins will bring germs to sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are in direct contact with women's vulva skin, and menstrual period is a period when women's resistance is low. If you don't pay attention, you will increase the chance of suffering from gynecological diseases.

7. Buy inferior sanitary napkins

But now there are many fake sanitary napkins. Most of these high imitation products are processed from scraps, and the disinfection is not sufficient, the quality is not up to standard, and even insects are exposed in sanitary napkins. The main sales terminal of these high imitation products is small shops. Therefore, when purchasing sanitary napkins, try to choose large shopping malls and supermarkets, and cultivate the habit of putting a sanitary napkin in your bag to avoid sudden menstruation and help your sisters save their lives.

8. I also like to use pads.

Some women feel that leucorrhea is not clean, and they like to use sanitary napkins without menstruation. Women's vulva needs a breathable, dry and clean environment to keep healthy. No matter how the foot pad promotes its high breathability and comfort, its bottom layer will be covered with a plastic film, which is airtight. Long-term use will increase the humidity and temperature of vulva, create conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi, destroy the pH of female private parts, and easily induce inflammation of female private parts. Especially in summer or the humid and muggy rainy season in the south, this situation will be more obvious. It is recommended to use sanitary napkins occasionally, but not every day. If you use sanitary napkins, you must change them frequently and keep them dry. .

2, menstrual cleaning private parts

1, change sanitary napkins frequently and wash vulva with warm water twice a day.

2, if there is no shower cleaning conditions, you can do "one person, one basin, one towel and one water" when taking a shower.

3. Women's private parts and feet should be washed separately.

4. Don't take a cold bath.

5, because there are countless small wounds in the endometrium during menstruation, the cervix is open, so don't take a bath.
