How to use sanitary napkins correctly

Normal women have menstrual periods every month in life. Sanitary napkins become indispensable for women during their periods. How to use sanitary napkins correctly becomes the most critical issue. The correct use of sanitary napkins can not only reduce the occurrence of gynecological diseases, but also provide careful care for women. However, some women do not know how to use them correctly. Let us learn how to use sanitary napkins correctly through the following introduction.

1. There are two types of sanitary napkins. One is a long strip without ears on both sides. For this kind of sanitary napkin, just tear open the packaging bag, take out the sanitary napkin and unfold it, then tear off the paper tape on the back of the sanitary napkin (this paper tape is to prevent the sanitary napkin from sticking when it is packaged, it has no other use and can be thrown away after tearing it off), put the adhesive side of the sanitary napkin on the crotch of the underwear and stick it on the underwear, and the sanitary napkin is in place.

2. Another type of sanitary napkin is a long strip in the middle with an "ear" on each side. To use this type of sanitary napkin, open the package, take out the sanitary napkin, tear off the paper tape in the middle first, and put the adhesive side to the middle of the crotch of the underwear, with the two ears aligned with the narrowest part of the crotch. Then tear off the small piece of sticky paper on the back of the left "ear", fold the "ear" from the narrowest part of the left side of the underwear to stick it to the front of the crotch of the underwear, then tear off the sticky paper on the back of the other side of the "ear", fold it from the right side of the narrowest part of the crotch of the underwear to fix it on the front of the crotch of the underwear. Because of the adhesive adhesion at the bottom of the sanitary napkin, and the fixation of the "ears" from both sides, the sanitary napkin will be firmly stuck to the bottom of the underwear, and it will be more difficult to shift during activities.

3. Sanitary napkin: It is attached inside the underwear. When the cotton pad absorbs more blood, it must be replaced. It is very convenient to use and feels safe, so most Taiwanese women like to use sanitary napkins. However, when the weather is hot and humid, the menstrual blood will not only easily emit an odor, 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.

4. Tampon: When using, insert the tampon into the vagina. It 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. However, 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. There have also been reports abroad of horrific cases where the use of tampons caused a large number of Staphylococcus aureus to multiply in the vagina, resulting in symptoms such as sore throat, fever, joint and muscle pain, low blood pressure, and even shock.

5. Therefore, sanitary napkins or tampons have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice should be based on personal preference and physical condition; in short, developing good hygiene habits during menstruation is the best way to protect yourself.

After the above introduction, we now know the correct way to use sanitary napkins. As an indispensable item for women during menstrual period, we must not use expired or unsuitable ones. Women should also pay attention to their living habits during menstruation, not eating raw or cold food, and not overwork.
