How often should I change my sanitary napkin?

Sanitary napkins can be said to be our "ladies' home". There are always a few days every month when we use sanitary napkins, and they are indispensable. However, some women do not pay attention when using sanitary napkins during menstruation, and they will have 4 bad habits, which can easily cause them to suffer from gynecological diseases and seriously damage their uterus and ovaries. Therefore, in order to protect our uterus from damage, we should correct these 4 bad habits during menstruation. Many women also have some questions, such as how often is it best to change sanitary napkins?

1. Not changing sanitary napkins for a long time

Many women are too busy to pay attention to changing sanitary napkins. After the period, the menstrual blood will remain on the sanitary napkin. The private parts of women are damp and breathable, which can easily breed bacteria and cause various gynecological diseases in women, causing serious damage to the uterus. Therefore, women should change sanitary napkins frequently. The replacement time should not exceed 2 to 3 hours, and they should not skip the replacement due to a small amount of menstrual blood. Therefore, it is best to change the sanitary napkin every 2 to 3 hours.

2. Sanitary napkins are often placed in the bathroom

Many ladies often put their sanitary napkins in the bathroom. In fact, our bathroom is a room with more germs. Since the bathroom combines our washing and metabolism, bacteria and fungi are common. Therefore, our sanitary napkins can be polluted and infected with bacteria and viruses. Then, they can clean our private parts and cause gynecological diseases. Bacteria and fungi can enter the uterus through the vagina and cause endometritis, cervicitis and other gynecological diseases.

3. Not washing hands and disinfecting them before changing sanitary napkins

Many women do not wash their hands and disinfect them when changing sanitary napkins. They cannot keep their hands clean, which will cause the sanitary napkins and also be contaminated with germs. Because our hands touch objects every day, if they are not cleaned properly, a lot of germs will remain, which will cause serious infection in our private parts, and then cause inflammation of our uterus, and various gynecological diseases will also occur. Therefore, we must wash our hands and disinfect them when changing sanitary napkins.

4. Use surface sanitary napkins

Many ladies worry about whether to choose the outer side or the cotton side when choosing sanitary napkins. In fact, my advice to everyone is to choose the cotton side. Because cotton-surfaced sanitary napkins are breathable, light, and comfortable, they are very friendly to women with sensitive skin. However, as for surface-surfaced sanitary napkins, because the surface is made of chemical materials, although it makes people feel fresh, it is not friendly to women with sensitive skin, especially the private parts, which are very sensitive. Long-term use is prone to redness or ulceration. Therefore, it is best to choose cotton-surfaced sanitary napkins.
