What should I do if I have allergic reaction to sanitary napkins?

Allergy is a common phenomenon in life, usually with symptoms of rash, red spots and itching. The allergy situation is very complicated. Some women are even allergic to sanitary napkins, which are essential during menstruation. If sanitary napkins cannot be used, it will have a great impact, and the solution becomes the most concerning thing. So, what should I do if I have an allergic reaction after using sanitary napkins? Let’s look at the solutions below.

Women with sensitive skin should use less dry mesh and more cotton mesh. Dry mesh absorbs quickly, but cotton mesh is softer, more comfortable and less irritating to the skin.

2. Pay attention to your diet.

During menstruation, it is not advisable to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods. Instead, you should eat fruits, vegetables, and beans instead. A light diet will refresh your body.

3. Avoid allergens.

Once you feel itchy, you should immediately stop using this brand of sanitary napkins. It is best to find out the allergen (the most common one is the fragrance in the sanitary napkin) and it is best not to use sanitary napkins containing the same ingredients.

a. Check whether the sanitary napkins are produced by regular manufacturers. Well-known brands commonly seen in large shopping malls should have quality assurance. Do not buy sanitary napkins in bulk or with broken packaging just to save money.

b. Try to choose sanitary napkins that you usually use and have no adverse reactions. Generally, cotton sanitary napkins are not easy to cause allergies. Women with sensitive skin should use fiber mesh sanitary napkins with caution. c. Make sure to check the production date and shelf life. Many women do not have the habit of checking the date when buying sanitary napkins, and they will buy a lot at once to "store for use". In fact, sanitary napkins also have a shelf life, and the quality of expired sanitary napkins is difficult to guarantee. Generally speaking, the closer the production date is to the time of purchase, the better.

4. Wash your hands before changing sanitary napkins.

Many people remember to wash their hands before meals and after defecation, but it is also best to wash your hands before changing your sanitary napkin. Because the process of unpacking, opening, smoothing and sticking sanitary napkins by hand will bring germs onto the sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are in direct contact with the female vulva skin and the menstrual period is a period when women's resistance is relatively low. If you are not careful, the chance of developing gynecological diseases will increase.

Some women buy sanitary napkins and store them in the lockers in the bathroom for easy access. Compared with other rooms in the house, the bathroom is the most humid, and some families' bathrooms 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. 6. Change frequently.

Delicate skin requires a very breathable environment. If it is closed too tightly, moisture will accumulate and it will easily breed bacteria and cause various health problems. The most ideal items are high-weave cotton underwear, which should be changed and washed every day. If you use sanitary pads, don't forget to choose products with good breathability. If women often have allergic reactions when using sanitary napkins, it is because moisture accumulates locally, so female friends should pay attention to changing sanitary napkins frequently and increase the frequency of replacement.
