What does it feel like to use sanitary napkins?

Sanitary napkins are an indispensable hygiene product for most adult women. However, some people may not pay attention when using sanitary napkins, such as taking the sanitary napkins carelessly, or not washing hands in time when their hands are dirty, which is incorrect. If you touch the sanitary napkin when it is very dirty, it is easy for the germs to pass through the sanitary napkin and reach the reproductive tract, which can easily cause various gynecological diseases. Here are some things you need to pay attention to when using sanitary napkins.

Among the patients who visit the gynecological clinic, 3% to 5% of them are caused by improper use of sanitary napkins, such as candidal vaginitis, allergic dermatitis and other diseases. Because Chinese herbal medicines are mostly soaked into sanitary napkins, there are very few medicinal ingredients in the sanitary napkins after drying. Even if some Chinese herbal ingredients remain, it is difficult to be absorbed through skin contact. In addition, many women like to wear tight pants, which are neither loose nor breathable, and are more likely to cause gynecological diseases.

Menstrual blood is rich in nutrients and can easily become a "culture medium" for the rampant growth of bacteria. If the sanitary napkin is not changed for a long time, the local ventilation will be poor, leading to the proliferation of bacteria, thus inducing various gynecological diseases. Therefore, sanitary napkins must be changed frequently. I suggest that no matter how much your menstrual flow is, you should not use a sanitary napkin for more than 3 hours!

In fact, this is very unhygienic. Generally, sanitary napkins are made of non-woven fabrics, which are fiber materials. The materials will deteriorate when exposed to moisture, and bacteria can easily invade and multiply. However, most bathrooms in my country do not see sunlight all day and are very humid, which makes it easy for mold to breed and contaminate sanitary napkins. After unpacking, sanitary napkins should be placed in a dry and clean environment and should not be used again after getting wet.

In fact, sanitary napkins also have a shelf life. Sometimes, for convenience, you may buy a whole box of sanitary napkins at one time. At this time, you must pay attention and try to buy sanitary napkins with a long shelf life. Because if the sanitary napkins are out of the shelf life, it is easy to breed bacteria. If such sanitary napkins are used, it is easy to cause vaginitis or vulvitis.
