Is it better to use a tampon or a sanitary napkin?

I believe that in life, many women are confused about whether it is better to use sanitary napkins or tampons during menstruation. Because people who often use tampons find it more convenient, and people who have never used it may have various concerns. So let us give you a detailed introduction below, is it good to use tampons?

Generally speaking, most of the feminine menstrual products on the market are sanitary pads, and fewer are tampons. It can be seen that domestic women (female food) are accustomed to using sanitary napkins. So what exactly is the difference between these two products?

1. Sanitary napkins Advantages: Sanitary napkins are attached to the inside of underwear. When the pad absorbs more blood, it must be replaced. It is very convenient to use and feels safe, so most women in China like to use sanitary napkins.

Disadvantages: However, when the weather is hot and humid, the menstrual blood will seep out and not only easily emit a peculiar smell, but it is also easy for the genitals to be infected with Candida albicans, resulting in genital itching, so sanitary napkins need to be changed frequently when used. Experts remind: Try to choose products from reputable manufacturers in large shopping malls, and carefully check the health license number, anti-counterfeiting mark, and shelf life on the outer packaging.

2. Advantages of tampons: When using tampons, insert the tampon into the vagina, which has the effect of strongly absorbing menstrual blood. Using tampons will not affect your clothing and is more convenient for movement and exercise, so they are more commonly used by European and American women.

Disadvantages: Tampons are not suitable for girls who have no sexual experience and whose hymen is still intact. In addition, because tampons press on the vaginal wall, they can sometimes cause ulcers in the vaginal wall. There have also been reports abroad of horrific cases where the use of tampons caused a large number of Staphylococcus aureus to multiply in the vagina, resulting in symptoms such as sore throat, fever, joint and muscle pain, low blood pressure, and even shock.

The above is an introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of using tampons and sanitary napkins. After understanding this common sense, you should know whether you should use sanitary napkins or tampons during your menstrual period. In fact, there is no decisive attitude. It mainly depends on yourself and which one you are more adapted to.
