What sanitary napkin is good?

There are two main types of sanitary napkins: tampons and sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are more widely used than tampons. Whether it is a sanitary napkin or a tampon, you need to have certain purchasing knowledge when choosing it. For example, the absorption rate and breathability of sanitary napkins should be relatively good. If the breathability is poor, it can easily cause inflammation. Next, let’s take a look at the selection of sanitary napkins!

How to choose sanitary napkins

Based on the surface material, sanitary napkins on the market are mainly divided into two types: dry and soft. There is a lot of knowledge involved in how to make choices based on personal physique and physiological period characteristics.

Dry mesh sanitary napkins are made of a chemical fiber material called "perforated membrane", which has the characteristic of fast water permeability, but chemical fibers may increase the chance of allergies. Cotton mesh is mostly made of non-woven fabric, which is extracted from cotton. It is more natural and soft, suitable for most women.

People with sensitive skin should choose products with cottony surfaces to avoid allergies and excessive friction. However, if you need to travel or sit in a car for a long time, you might as well use one with a dry surface to speed up the absorption of menstrual blood, reduce the feeling of dampness and stuffiness, and reduce the risk of infection.

How to use sanitary napkins

An internal tampon is a sanitary napkin that is placed inside the vagina during menstruation. It gently fits against the vaginal wall and can absorb all menstrual blood inside the body. Therefore, it can prevent leakage and keep the outside of the body clean and dry.

Because tampons are inserted into the vagina and form a closed space, if they are not replaced regularly, it is easy for normal bacteria in the vagina to multiply rapidly, causing infection and inflammation. When the amount of menstrual blood is too little, if the tampon is not changed frequently, long-term use may cause menstrual blood to flow backwards, causing gynecological diseases such as endometriosis. If used, it should be changed every 2 to 3 hours.

Whether it is sanitary napkins or tampons, you should not buy them blindly. You can buy sanitary napkins that suit you according to these methods. Since tampons are not suitable for everyone, it is best to choose sanitary napkins. During menstruation, you must ensure adequate sleep and drink plenty of water to ensure smooth menstruation.
