What is the difference between tampons and sanitary napkins?

During the menstrual period, different women use sanitary napkins and tampons, which actually have different effects and advantages and disadvantages. So for female friends, if they want to know which sanitary products are suitable for them, they should also know the differences and advantages and disadvantages. So below we will analyze and introduce the differences between tampons and sanitary napkins in detail.

1. Sanitary napkin: It is attached inside the underwear. When the cotton pad absorbs more blood, it must be replaced. It is very convenient to use and feels safe, so most Taiwanese women like to use sanitary napkins. However, when the weather is hot and humid, the menstrual blood will not only easily emit an odor, 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.

2. Tampon: When using, insert the tampon into the vagina. It 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. However, 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.

Therefore, sanitary napkins or tampons have their pros and cons, and the choice should be based on personal preference and physical condition. In short, developing good hygiene habits during menstruation is the best way to protect yourself.

Advantages of tampons

1. Hygienic and clean: Tampons absorb menstrual blood before it flows out of the body, which can effectively avoid the production of odor.

2. No deformation and no leakage: Tampons are safely placed in the body without worrying about deformation. If used with sanitary pads, there is no need to worry about leakage.

3. Super absorbency: Tampons are high-density compressed cotton products with strong absorbency. As long as you choose the right model, you can move freely at any time.

I believe that after knowing and understanding the above content, female friends should have the answer to the dilemma of whether to choose tampons or sanitary napkins during menstruation. Of course, this also depends on your own situation. Because some people feel uncomfortable using tampons, there is certainly no need to force it.
