Hazards of fluff pulp

After bleaching, straw pulp or paper pulp becomes fluff pulp. Its main uses are in diapers, toilet paper and many other aspects. Compared with ordinary paper, its water absorption is relatively higher. However, due to the chemical bleaching process, the residual chemicals still pose certain hazards. So what negative effects does fluff pulp have on the body? Let’s learn about this knowledge together today.

Is there any harm in diaper fluff pulp?

1

Diaper fluff pulp itself is not harmful.

Fluff pulp products are required to have good water absorption and rapid diffusion; the fluff pulp fibers should be high in whiteness and soft, have a certain degree of elasticity and good core pad integrity, and meet the prescribed hygiene indicators. Therefore, as long as the diaper fluff pulp meets the production standards, it is harmless.

Diaper secondary fluff pulp is very harmful

2

Do not use diapers if they contain secondary fluff pulp. Secondary fluff pulp is made by black manufacturers who add whitening agents and fluorescent agents to recycled cotton pads, old clothes, paper towels, etc. in order to save costs for their own profits. Long-term exposure to fluorescent whitening agents may cause cancer, especially for infants. Its addition is expressly prohibited in the papermaking industry.

Diapers are not changed in time

If diapers are not changed in time, the baby's urine residue will make it impossible for the baby's buttocks to stay dry, causing diaper rash. It is recommended that mothers choose diapers of appropriate thickness according to the seasonal climate. They should also pay attention to the size of the diapers and avoid wrapping them too tightly.

Wearing diapers for too long

When the baby reaches the age of three, he can clearly express that he wants to go to the toilet. At this time, the mother should cultivate the baby's bowel habits. You can no longer use diapers for your baby. Long-term use of diapers will make your baby dependent and affect his or her urine retention function.

Frequent use of diapers

Due to physiological reasons, the vaginal and urethral openings of baby girls are exposed, their labia majora are not fully developed, and estrogen is not secreted to resist bacteria like that of adult women. If baby girls are wrapped in diapers for a long time in a hot and humid environment, they will be relatively prone to gynecological inflammation. Compared with adults, it is more difficult to cure vaginitis in baby girls, which can easily cause damage to fragile tissues.
