Sleeping posture

A good sleeping posture can effectively help women beautify and maintain their skin. At the same time, it can provide relief during menstruation and avoid side leakage. Many girls often dirty their sheets and clothes during menstruation because of their incorrect sleeping posture and the sanitary napkin is not properly padded. During menstruation, you should adjust to a comfortable sleeping posture. You can choose to lie on your side, on your back, or lie flat. However, when lying flat, make sure that the sanitary napkin is extended to avoid side leakage.

1. Prone position

Sleeping prone can indeed relieve the abdominal pain caused by adequate sleep, and you should also pay attention to the bloating feeling when sleeping. However, everyone knows that sleeping prone is harmful to the body, especially for women. Sleeping prone can easily put pressure on the chest, increase the pressure on the chest, heart, lungs and face, affect breathing, and cause facial swelling after waking up, bloodshot eyes, etc. Therefore, if you don’t want your sleeping position to ruin your appearance, it’s best not to choose this sleeping position.

2. Supine

There are many ways to sleep on your back. You can sleep with your hands on both sides of your body like a soldier, or you can lie on the bed with your arms and legs spread out like an octopus. But no matter which way you sleep, although it seems to pose no threat to the body's organs, it actually has a great impact on the uterus. Generally speaking, the normal position of the uterus of a normal adult woman is in the center of the pelvis, with the uterus tilted forward and the cervix and uterus forming an angle of 120 to 150 degrees. If you sleep in a lying position for a long time, your uterus is likely to be displaced. The most common of these is retroverted uterus, which means that the uterus no longer tilts forward and your body will undergo qualitative changes.

When menstruation comes, the soft tissue of the uterus will become congested and edematous. If the uterus is retroverted, it will compress the nerves around the pelvic cavity, causing symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and general weakness. In addition, the retroverted uterus may also pull the cervix upward, causing sperm to be unable to successfully enter the cervical canal, thus leading to infertility. Finally, the retroverted uterus may also lead to poor blood flow in the pelvis, excessive blood congestion in the pelvis, and increased menstrual volume.

3. Side lying

There are two types of side sleeping: right side sleeping and left side sleeping. Lying on the left side will compress the heart, resulting in poor blood circulation and causing physical discomfort; while lying on the right side is beneficial to blood circulation, so that all organs of the body can function normally and have adequate blood supply, which is beneficial for the outflow of menstrual blood. So there is no doubt that sleeping on the right side is the most suitable sleeping position during menstruation.

Generally speaking, if you use enlarged night sanitary napkins correctly, side leakage will not occur when you sleep on your right side. If you are really worried, you can put old clothes on the bed sheets, or sew a few "anti-leakage" sheets. The bed sheets do not need to be too large, just enough to catch the flowing menstrual blood, and they are also easy to clean.

Sleep takes up one-third of our life. If women want to stay healthy, they must not only get enough sleep, but also pay attention to the choice of sleeping position. Common sleeping positions are supine and side-lying, and a few people also have the habit of prone sleeping. But once you have your period (especially when the flow is heavy), basically no matter how you sleep, you will feel uncomfortable. If you lie on your back, you are afraid of leakage from behind; if you lie on your side, you are afraid of leakage from the side... In fact, sleeping position during menstruation does not require women to be as comfortable and charming as Sleeping Beauty. As long as the menstruation is smooth and the whole body is comfortable, it's fine.

If women want to sleep comfortably during menstruation, they must first use night sanitary napkins correctly. It should be noted that the above three postures are not absolute and need to be analyzed based on the specific circumstances of personal preference for sleeping posture.
