Eight factors to keep in mind when dressing during menstruation

1. It is not advisable to wear thongs during menstruation

In order to enhance the fit, some thongs are made of chemical fiber materials with poor breathability, which can easily cause skin damage, infection or allergies. Therefore, thongs are not suitable for long-term wear, especially during menstruation. T-backs cover a small area, with only one relevant part.

Tied with a rope or cloth belt. The cloth tape has a strong local pressure and constantly rubs against the skin, which can easily cause local skin damage and infection.

2. Prepare special underwear for menstruation

According to gynecologist Director He, some poor quality sanitary napkins have too much glue on the back, which sticks to the underwear and is difficult to completely remove from the underwear by washing. Regardless of whether this viscose is a harmful substance or not, it is definitely an artificial chemical substance. If the underwear worn during menstruation is worn on ordinary days, the viscose that has not been completely washed off in time may come into direct contact with the female genitals, making women more susceptible to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis or vulvitis. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare a few pairs of underwear to wear during menstruation and wear other underwear on ordinary days.

3. Change underwear frequently during menstruation

Normally, unless there are special circumstances, underwear is worn all day long and only changed when taking a shower. However, you should be careful during your menstrual period. Although there is a sanitary napkin attached to your underwear, the humid vaginal environment will easily produce some bacteria. These bacteria are easily affected by the movement of walking and run onto the underwear. In other words, the bacteria on the underwear used during your menstrual period are several times more than usual. If you wear a pair of underwear for a whole day, the accumulated amount of bacteria will be astonishing. For this reason, it is recommended to change your underwear frequently during your menstrual period.

4. Avoid wearing tight clothes during menstruation

Women who love beauty want to highlight their curves and often wear tight clothes during menstruation. But in fact, wearing tight clothes during menstruation has many harmful effects. Many experts say that tights are closely related to the occurrence of endometriosis. That's because a large amount of menstrual blood flows out of the female vagina, and poor air permeability will allow microorganisms to breed. In addition, the vagina is densely covered with hair follicles, and tight clothing will block the secretion of sweat glands and suppress the uterus, causing menstrual blood to flow poorly, which will cause dysmenorrhea and easily lead to some vaginal inflammation.

5. It is best to choose cotton fabrics for menstrual clothing

In the huge clothing market, there are all kinds of clothing fabrics, such as leather, silk, nylon, etc. In the production process of clothing, in order to make the feel and design of the style look better, merchants will also add some artificial chemicals to make the fabric achieve the ideal effect. These substances can cause cancer when worn on people. For this reason, in addition to paying attention to it at ordinary times, we should pay more attention to it during menstruation. Nylon and denim are poor in breathability, which is not conducive to the ventilation of the genitals, and the hard texture will rub the skin near the genitals and cause skin inflammation. For this reason, experts recommend that cotton fabrics should be used for inner and outer clothing.

6. Don’t wear too thin clothes during menstruation

Whether it is summer or winter, women's body resistance will decrease during menstruation, and their ability to keep warm will also deteriorate. If they wear thin clothes during menstruation for the sake of beauty, the pores of the human body will be easily invaded by cold air, leading to a series of diseases. For women, the most fatal thing is that the uterus will be exposed to cold, which will not only bring symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders, but also lead to infertility, sexual frigidity and other phenomena. For this reason, you must dress warmly during menstruation, especially around the waist and uterus.

7. Be careful when wearing skirts during menstruation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the qi and blood flow smoothly in the uterus and pelvic cavity, inflammation will naturally disappear. This shows that the female reproductive organ system is most afraid of cold. For this reason, you must take measures to keep warm during menstruation and try to avoid wearing skirts, because the wide design of the skirt's hem can easily allow cold air to invade the uterus and cause uterine cold. If you really want to wear a skirt, it is recommended to wear thick cotton tights and a long coat to keep your lower limbs warm.

8. Avoid wearing high heels during menstruation

The human body is a sensitive and complete system. A single move can affect the entire body. Many white-collar women have to wear high heels to work. High heels that are not in line with the health functions of the human body have always been controversial. Needless to say, their harm is harmful. If you wear high heels during menstruation, the blood circulation in the soles of the feet will be blocked, and the blood circulation system of the entire body will not function properly. This will affect the discharge of menstrual blood from the endometrium, causing symptoms such as poor blood circulation and irregular menstruation.
