Is a tampon better or a sanitary napkin?

In our daily lives, we must have hesitated about whether to choose tampons or sanitary napkins, because neither of them can perfectly solve our problems, but in comparison, it is better to choose the one that is easy to use. Tampons have become more popular in recent years and are more common abroad, while the most commonly used are sanitary napkins. Next, we will introduce to you in detail whether tampons or sanitary napkins are better.

1. Advantages of sanitary napkins: Sanitary napkins are attached to the inside of underwear. When the pad absorbs more blood, it must be replaced. It is very convenient to use and feels safe, so most women in China like to use sanitary napkins.

Disadvantages: However, when the weather is hot and humid, the menstrual blood will seep out and not only easily emit a peculiar smell, 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 when used. Experts remind: Try to choose products from reputable manufacturers in large shopping malls, and carefully check the health license number, anti-counterfeiting mark, and shelf life on the outer packaging.

2. Advantages of tampons: When using tampons, insert the tampon into the vagina, which 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.

Disadvantages: 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.

Warm reminder: It is not easy for women to get used to tampons when using them for the first time. Many women give up using them because of the discomfort caused by nervousness during the first try.

The above content is an introduction to whether tampons or sanitary napkins are better. These two things have their own advantages. You can choose one of them after comparison. Sometimes if the menstrual flow is heavy, you can use both together. It is best not to exceed four hours when using them. Change them in time to keep them clean.
