What to do if it itches under the sanitary napkin

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. It comes on time every month. The best way to deal with menstruation is to use sanitary napkins. However, some women will experience private itching when using sanitary napkins. The itching in sensitive areas makes people feel uneasy, and the solution becomes the most concerned thing. So, what should you do if you feel itchy under your sanitary napkin? Let’s take a look at it below.

Sanitary napkin allergy

1. Use less dry mesh sanitary napkins.

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. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

How can I choose a sanitary napkin that suits me?

The first tip: Choose sanitary napkins with guaranteed hygiene quality, and give priority to regular brands. When choosing, in addition to paying attention to the sealing of the outer packaging to avoid contamination, you should also check the product logo and try to choose products produced recently. In addition, it is best to choose sanitary napkins in small packages.

The second tip: Good sanitary napkins have smooth, intact seals on each outer package and independent small package, no air leakage, a clean surface, and uniform thickness. If you identify it by the feel, a good sanitary napkin is made of fluff pulp with strong absorbency and good fluffiness, so it is light and soft. If sanitary napkins are mixed with other pulp, scraps, etc., they will be heavy and hard.

The third tip: sanitary napkins with cotton surface are more suitable for women who are prone to allergies. The cotton surface is more friendly to the skin and has better permeability; while the fiber texture of the dry mesh surface is prone to cause allergies. In addition, the non-back-seepage function is very important, especially for night-time sanitary napkins. The infiltrated menstrual blood is not easily squeezed out, which can reduce the occurrence of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, tampons should be used with caution. Before using a tampon, unclean hands can bring germs into the vagina; tampons can easily cause damage to the vaginal wall, and long-term contact with menstrual blood makes it difficult to heal.
