Sanitary napkins are the closest companions in women’s lives. They have to live with them for about a week every month. However, many women have used sanitary napkins for so many years, but they are completely unaware that they have used them wrong in many places. Below , let me introduce to you 6 common misunderstandings in the consumption of sanitary napkins.

1. Place sanitary napkins in the bathroom.

Bathrooms are very humid, which can easily breed mold and contaminate sanitary napkins.

2. Don’t look at the shelf life.

Especially during the promotion period, you can buy many packs of sanitary napkins at low prices. In fact, the hygienic requirements for sanitary napkins are very strict. The closer to the production date, the more guaranteed the quality. However, promotional products and gifts are often unsalable products sold by merchants, and the inventory time is long, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of the products.

3. The latest is the best.

New brands, new varieties, new fabrics, and new concepts are flying all over the place, coupled with promotions, often leading to impulsive consumption. Purchasing products with reliable quality and good reputation, especially products that suit you, is still the first choice when purchasing care products. Products with exaggerated boasts and fashionable colors should be chosen carefully.

4. Scented care products can mask the special odor of the menstrual body.

Most doctors do not approve of the use of sanitary napkins with drugs or fragrances. The drugs or fragrance ingredients may have adverse effects on the body.

5. There is no need to change the sanitary napkin unless it is dirty.

Using sanitary napkins, especially when menstrual blood is less in the next few days, the frequency of replacement is reduced, leading to the growth of bacteria. When the amount is small, you can choose thin silk or panty liners, and the use time should not exceed 8 hours.

6. It is individually packaged, so you don’t need to wash your hands before using sanitary napkins.

When the sanitary napkin is unpacked, opened, smoothed, and pasted by hand, a large number of germs will actually be brought to the sanitary napkin, and menstrual blood is the best culture medium for bacteria, which invisibly provides the environment for bacterial reproduction. There are no convenient conditions, so it is easy to lead to the occurrence of vaginitis.

The above 6 points are some common misunderstandings among female friends when using sanitary napkins. I hope that today’s introduction can attract everyone’s attention. You must pay attention to these matters when you have your next menstrual period. Many diseases are caused by not having enough sanitary napkins. Caused by the importance of health, health is no small matter, so I hope everyone can use sanitary napkins correctly.
