What kind of maternity sanitary napkin is good? How to choose maternity sanitary napkin

We all know that after giving birth, women's bodies need some time to recover, and they need to discharge lochia, so mothers usually use sanitary napkins. Maternity sanitary napkins are the most common type of sanitary napkins, and many mothers will use them. So how should we choose maternity sanitary napkins? Let's take a closer look!

How to choose maternity sanitary napkins

When choosing sanitary napkins for pregnant women, you can consider the following aspects:

1. Model

Maternal sanitary napkins generally come in three sizes: L, M, and S, corresponding to different stages of lochia changes.

However, when you need to use S-type maternity sanitary napkins, you can also replace them with ordinary night sanitary napkins that you use on a daily basis.

Generally, you should buy maternal sanitary napkins in the late pregnancy, especially L-size ones. The amount of lochia is particularly large right after giving birth. After the first two or three days, as the lochia decreases, you can change to M-size.

2. Purchase quantity

According to each person's specific situation and the amount of lochia, you can buy two packs of L and M sizes as backup, and you can choose not to buy the S size.

Of course, if it is more convenient to buy, then buy as you use.

3. Brand

It is best to choose a well-known brand that is specially made for maternity women, and the purchase channel should be formal. If you don’t know, you can consult a mother who has just given birth. Some hospitals’ delivery rooms will also distribute maternity sanitary napkins, so you can find out in advance.

4. Softness

If you have a wound, you should pay more attention to the softness of the sanitary napkin. If you have sensitive skin, you can choose cotton-soft ones. If your skin is not particularly sensitive, you can choose dry mesh ones.

5. Breathability

Choose one with good breathability so that you won’t feel damp or stuffy when using it.

6. Absorption

Although the frequency of replacement is relatively high, the absorption capacity of maternity sanitary napkins must be relatively large, and the surface must be kept dry. If you are worried about side leakage or back leakage, you can put a maternity pad on the bed.

7. Other aspects

It is non-irritating to the wound, and will not increase the pain or cause unbearable itching due to the use of maternity sanitary napkins. It does not produce lint, is not easy to fall off, does not generate static electricity, does not have too many impurities, and will not cause wound infection.

What sanitary napkins can I use after childbirth?

Maternity women can use private sanitary napkins

The times are progressing little by little. Babies' traditional cloth diapers are gradually being replaced by diapers and premium diapers, and mothers' sanitary napkins are gradually being replaced by high-end private care sanitary napkins.

In addition to the advantages of maternal sanitary napkins in absorbing and locking moisture without reverse osmosis, the biggest advantage of this type of sanitary napkin is that there is a negative ion magnetic chip in the middle of the napkin, which has the effects of disinfection, sterilization, and warming the uterus. It is really suitable for postpartum mothers, as it can promote the healing of episiotomy wounds, and can also effectively warm and protect the uterus.

You can use maternity sanitary napkins after giving birth

I have been using ordinary sanitary napkins for nearly 10 years. When I tried using maternal sanitary napkins, I really understood what it meant to regret not meeting them earlier.

After comparison, I found that the biggest advantage of maternity sanitary napkins is that the main component of the water-absorbing layer is a high-molecular water-absorbing resin, which is also found in baby diapers. This material is environmentally friendly and can be dissolved into water by stirring in salt water. Secondly, it absorbs water and locks in water without reverse osmosis. Even if you press it with your hands, no water will come out, which greatly avoids the embarrassment and discomfort of wet and sticky private parts.

Do not use ordinary sanitary napkins after giving birth

Regarding what kind of sanitary napkin is better to use after childbirth, I would like to say that it is not recommended to use ordinary sanitary napkins. The main component of the water-absorbing layer of various well-known and unknown sanitary napkins commonly seen in supermarkets is almost all fluff pulp, which does not lock water, is easy to reverse osmosis, contains chemical ingredients and other disadvantages. It is really not suitable for use on sensitive private parts with wounds after childbirth.

Another disadvantage of ordinary sanitary napkins is that most of them are qualified products. Such sanitary napkins may have the risk of excessive or even excessive fungal and bacterial colonies. When buying sanitary napkins, mothers must choose higher-grade products, such as first-class and superior products.
