How often should I change my sanitary napkin?

Women will have their periods when they are around fifteen years old. In order to avoid bacterial harm during menstruation, many women often use sanitary napkins. However, if the menstrual flow is heavy, the sanitary napkins need to be changed frequently, otherwise it is easy to leak or breed bacteria. These situations are not good for women. So how often should sanitary napkins be changed? Let me take a look below.

First, how often should you change your sanitary napkin? When you start your period, the flow is heavier, so you can change it once in the morning, noon, and evening. After 2-3 days, you can change it once in the morning and once at night, but you should change it frequently in summer. In fact, it is the same as changing clothes. In summer, the weather is hot, and if you don’t change it, there will be a peculiar smell, which will embarrass you and the other person will find unbearable. If you go out, bring a few sanitary napkins in your bag to avoid unexpected situations. You can also change them in public toilets, restaurants, etc. when you are outside. Public toilets are usually built in busy places.

Second, because each woman's age, menstrual volume, number of days and other factors affect it, it cannot be summarized in one sentence, but you can compare it in the following way. Day 1: Due to the heavy amount of menstrual blood, it is best to change the sanitary napkin every two and a half hours between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., and the sleeping time should be maintained within 8 hours to avoid excessive menstrual blood causing side leakage and the private parts being closed for too long causing stuffiness and discomfort. (Equivalent to 6 tablets for day use and 1 tablet for night use).

Third, the second day: Generally speaking, it will be similar to the first day, but some people are just the opposite. The second day has the heaviest amount of menstrual flow. Change it every 3 hours during the day, so it is best to change no less than 6 sanitary napkins a day! Third day: The menstrual flow gradually decreases, and it should be changed every four hours. There should be one sanitary napkin each in the morning, noon, and evening, and four sanitary napkins at night. Day 4: When you are gradually getting clean, do not use regular sanitary napkins. They are too large and the area exposed to heat is also large. Women usually use them for one day because the amount is small. In fact, this is not good. It is best to use a smaller version of sanitary napkins or panty liners. This is not only convenient but also saves some costs. The most important thing is that they are small and thin, and are not easy to cause moisture in the female private parts and cause inflammation.

How often should you change sanitary napkins? According to a survey on Chinese women's menstrual periods, 5 days is basically the minimum number. Only a very small number of women with irregular menstruation will have their periods last for a week or longer. In this case, you can change your sanitary napkins as you like, as long as you keep the sanitary napkins clean or your underwear dry.
