What is the difference between a panty liner and a sanitary napkin

For women, menstruation is something they have to face every month, but for some women with weak physiological knowledge, there will be many misunderstandings when choosing sanitary napkins and panty liners. Panty liners and sanitary napkins are essentially different things, although they are both used during menstruation. Next we will introduce to you in detail the difference between panty liners and sanitary napkins.

First, let’s talk about sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are also called sanitary napkins. Everyone knows their uses. When women have their menstrual period, sanitary napkins are used to absorb menstrual blood and prevent blood stains from contaminating clothes. Sanitary napkins are generally made of high-molecular polymers composited with cotton, non-woven fabrics, pulp and other materials. They have good water absorption capacity. At the same time, sanitary napkins have side designs to prevent side leakage. Sanitary napkins can be divided into soft cotton moisture-wicking mesh and super soft dry mesh. Both have their own characteristics and are suitable for female friends with different preferences. Personally, I do not recommend buying unknown brands. Poor quality brands can easily cause hot flashes, itching, and mold. Instead, you should use well-known brands such as Sofy and Afternoon, which are safer. In ancient China, women used white cloth towels as sanitary napkins to absorb menstrual fluid. They would then be replaced and washed with clean water before being used again.

The principle of panty liners is very similar to that of sanitary napkins, but they are suitable for different periods. It is mainly used to absorb daily secretions other than menstrual period and prevent clothing from being contaminated. The invention of panty liners is a complete extension of sanitary napkins. The invention of panty liners has solved many troubles for female friends. Since panty liners are generally small in size and thin, they will hardly cause discomfort when used. It is like a thin, close-fitting cotton towel, usually 1.5 mm thick. The sanitary pad has basically no absorption effect. It has no wings, is round at both ends and narrow in the middle, which prevents vaginal secretions from getting on the underwear. It can be used every day.

The above content is an introduction to the differences between panty pads and sanitary napkins. Of course, both panty pads and sanitary napkins are used during menstruation. Generally speaking, panty pads are used in the later stage of menstruation when the amount of menstruation is very small. It can reduce waste and relieve our physical discomfort. You can choose according to your actual situation.
