What to do without sanitary napkins

When a woman has her period, she definitely needs to prepare sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are a must-have during the menstrual period. Although women's menstruation is relatively regular, it may fluctuate. It is normal to come a few days early or a few days late. Especially if it comes early, it often catches people off guard, and it is impossible to carry sanitary napkins with you everywhere. So, what should we do if we don’t have sanitary napkins? Let’s take a look at it below.

If you don't have sanitary napkins, the best alternative is tissue paper or napkins. Of course, napkins or tissue paper are often exposed to the air, and the cleanliness of such paper is difficult to guarantee, which may cause bacterial infection or even vaginitis. At this time, you can borrow from the female friends around you. If there is no other way, using packaged paper towels as a substitute will be better than unpackaged tissue paper and napkins.

Sit still as much as possible

Generally speaking, standing up or sitting down suddenly may cause excessive menstrual blood flow. Therefore, when you are menstruating without a sanitary napkin, please go to the toilet and change the sanitary napkin substitute, and try to stay sitting as much as possible to avoid excessive menstrual blood flowing into your pants.

Common actions that compress the abdomen include laughing, coughing, and sneezing, which can increase the flow of menstrual blood and flow faster, making it easier for menstrual blood to overflow and wet your pants.

Change sanitary napkins and clean your private parts as soon as possible

The above methods are only stopgap measures after all. When women do not bring sanitary napkins during their menstrual period, they still need to get sanitary napkins as soon as possible. And when conditions permit, you should clean your lower body and flush your vagina immediately to prevent bacteria on sanitary napkin substitutes from staying for a long time and causing gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis.

Avoid stockpiling large quantities of goods

Some women like to buy large quantities of items during sales at shopping malls and store them at home to use slowly. In fact, sanitary napkins, like food, also have a shelf life. The closer the sanitary napkin is to the production date, the more guaranteed its quality is. Therefore, when using sanitary napkins, you must pay attention to the expiration date, do not buy too many at one time, buy them as you use them, and do not store them at home for a long time. Especially in the south where the weather is humid, if the water cannot be used up all at once, it is easy to get moldy and contaminated. Generally speaking, women can buy one or two menstrual cycles and keep them at home for use.

Never put sanitary napkins in the toilet

Some women buy sanitary napkins and store them in the lockers in the toilet for easy access. Compared with other rooms in the house, the bathroom is the most humid, and some families' toilets are never exposed to sunlight all day long. Little do people know that bacteria are more likely to invade sanitary napkins when they become damp. After unpacking, sanitary napkins should be placed in a dry and clean place and should not be used if they become damp.
