Precautions for girls when using sanitary napkins

When a girl starts her menstrual period, she needs to slowly use sanitary napkins. Many people have very little awareness of how to use sanitary napkins. However, it should be emphasized that the correct use of sanitary napkins is directly related to the physiological health of girls. Some improper use will indirectly bring bacteria into the girl's body. The following are some situations that should not occur when using sanitary napkins:

1. Not washing hands before using sanitary napkins

When you unpack a sanitary napkin, germs will be transferred to it. 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, it is very easy to get infected or cause gynecological diseases.

2. Sanitary napkins are kept in the bathroom for a long time

In fact, this is very unhygienic. Generally, sanitary napkins are made of non-woven fabrics, which are fiber materials. The materials will deteriorate when exposed to moisture, and bacteria can easily invade and multiply the sanitary napkins. However, most bathrooms do not see sunlight all day and are very humid, so it is easy for mold to breed and contaminate the sanitary napkins. After unpacking, sanitary napkins should be placed in a dry and clean environment and should not be used again after getting wet.

3. Not paying attention to the expiration date of sanitary napkins

In fact, the hygiene requirements for sanitary napkins are very strict, and the closer to the production date, the more guaranteed the quality. Sanitary napkins are sterilized by high-temperature disinfection. After all, the validity period of one-time disinfection and sterilization is limited. Sterility can no longer be guaranteed after the expiration of the period. If sanitary napkins are stored for too long, they will deteriorate and become contaminated even if they are not opened. Therefore, when using sanitary napkins, you must pay attention to the expiration date, do not buy too many at one time, and do not store them at home for a long time.

The above 3 points introduce the situations that absolutely should not occur when using sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are attached to women's private parts, so hygiene in this area requires special attention. Before using sanitary napkins, be sure to wash your hands first to avoid introducing bacteria into the human body to avoid unnecessary diseases.
