What kind of sanitary napkin is suitable for postpartum women?

The body of a parturient will undergo major changes after experiencing the high-intensity consumption of childbirth. Her physical condition becomes extremely weak, and the residual blood in the uterus is not completely discharged. Parturients will experience bleeding from their lower body from time to time. This is a manifestation of lochia. For the convenience of life, parturients can wear sanitary napkins. Let’s take a look at what kind of sanitary napkins are suitable for parturients?

Improper use of postpartum sanitary napkins can easily cause reproductive tract infections, and almost all mothers do not know that they must use high-quality sanitary napkins specifically for mothers! Because the physiological condition of mothers is completely different from that of ordinary women. The birth canal of a postpartum woman is open, her skin is highly sensitive, her resistance is reduced, and she is very susceptible to infection. Ordinary sanitary napkins are made of synthetic fibers, contain chemical ingredients, are high in impurities, and are not strictly disinfected. Some brands do not even undergo special disinfection. Using such sanitary napkins can irritate wounds, increase maternal pain, and more easily increase maternal infection rates. In addition, the wounds of mothers are very afraid of being suffocated by air, and thick sanitary napkins have poor air permeability, which is not conducive to postpartum recovery. Special sanitary napkins for postpartum women are developed for the special physiological state of postpartum women. The materials and designs fully take the needs of postpartum women into consideration and solve some of the above-mentioned problems. Postpartum mothers suffer from wound pain, and using ordinary care products will aggravate the pain. Moreover, using special sanitary napkins for postpartum women can monitor the lochia of postpartum women, but ordinary sanitary napkins cannot be tested.

Sanitary napkins for postpartum women are generally divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. As a reminder, the models have nothing to do with the body shape of the mother, but are for dealing with three different periods of lochia.

Normally, after giving birth, a woman will have bloody discharge from the birth canal, similar to menstruation. This bleeding from the placenta implantation site, mixed with secretions such as the decidua, tissue fragments, and mucus remaining in the uterus, is called lochia. Lochia usually disappears 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. Over time, the color and amount of lochia can change.
