Sanitary Napkins: One of the Key Factors for Menstrual Hygiene

Since the first menstruation, sanitary pads have become one of the most intimate "companions" in a woman's life. According to the calculation of the first menstruation and menopause, every woman has at least 40 years of dealing with sanitary pads in her lifetime. However, not everyone has the correct knowledge about menstrual hygiene, and some may even become unaware of being in a high-risk group for infection during menstruation.


Sanitary napkins are one of the key factors in determining menstrual hygiene. Healthy women should not only take care of their gynecological health but also pay attention to preventing sanitary pads from becoming a "breeding ground" for bacteria.


These misconceptions about using sanitary napkins must be corrected


Sanitary towels should only be changed when they are completely soaked


During menstruation, it is important to remember to change sanitary pads frequently. It is recommended to change them every few hours and adjust the frequency based on individual blood flow. Even when the flow is light, do not use the same pad all day.


Sanitary towels can be changed without washing hands


Generally, people know they should wash their hands before eating and after using the restroom, but they may not pay attention at other times. However, before changing sanitary pads, it is important to remember to wash your hands. During the process of opening the packaging and changing pads, your hands, which are covered with bacteria, will touch the surface of the pad. During menstruation, a woman's intimate areas have reduced resistance, and changing sanitary pads without washing hands can increase the risk of infection.


Buying a large amount of sanitary pads during promotions


Many people think that sanitary pads are not food but daily necessities, and it is okay to store them for a long time. In fact, although the usage period of sanitary pads is longer than that of food, it is still necessary to pay attention to the manufacturing date. Sanitary towels that have been stored for a long time may not be in the best condition for use.


By using thick sanitary towels or extra long sanitary napkins, frequent changing is unnecessary


Some women tend to choose thick sanitary towels or extra long sanitary napkins because they are afraid of menstrual leakage or heavy flow. However, do not be lazy due to this reason. It is still necessary to change sanitary pads in a timely manner based on the frequency of use during the day and night and the flowrate to prevent leakage.


Three considerations when choosing sanitary pads


Sanitary pads sizes


Everyone's body shape is different, and their curves and body proportions are different. Once you understand this, you will understand that sanitary pads need to be selected based on different body curves. Thickness, length, hip size, etc., are all factors to consider.


Menstrual flow rate


Women should observe their own menstrual flow rate and choose sanitary pads accordingly. For example, when the flow is heavy, you can choose longer and more absorbent sanitary pads; during the later stage of the menstrual period when the flow is less, you can choose fewer pads for daily use.


Personal confidence level


Many people think that when buying sanitary pads, only physiological factors need to be considered. In fact, psychological factors should also be taken into account. This way, women can live more comfortably during menstruation without feeling fearful due to concerns such as menstrual leakage or improperly fitting pads, which can ultimately affect their mood.
