For every adult woman, sanitary napkins are an inseparable necessity of life. Don’t see that you will use it every month, not necessarily you will buy and use. You can buy a lot of them at home when they are on sale, like to use medicinal sanitary napkins, store them in the bathroom, and use sanitary pads ……. Do you have any of these “bad habits”? Now I give some suggestions for these sanitary napkin purchase and use habits. Some women like to buy a lot of goods at the mall and hoard them at home to use slowly. In fact, sanitary napkins, like food, also have an expiration date, the closer to the production date the sanitary napkin quality is guaranteed. Because of the high temperature sterilization method to achieve sterility, the validity of disposable sterilization is after all limited, and beyond the deadline there is no guarantee of sterility. Therefore, in the use of sanitary napkins, must pay attention to the expiration date, a one-time purchase not too much, with the use of the purchase, should not be a long family collection. Especially in the south, the weather is humid, not used up at once, but also easy to mold, contaminated. Generally speaking, women buy one or two menstrual cycle with the spare at home can be. Bad habit two: sanitary napkins in the bathroom storage Some women in order to take the convenience of buying sanitary napkins will be placed in the bathroom locker storage. Compared with other rooms in the house, the bathroom is the most humid, and some family bathrooms are not even seen all day long. Unbeknownst to you, sanitary napkins are more likely to be invaded by bacteria when they are damp. The unpacked sanitary napkins should be placed in a dry, clean place, and not used again after they are damp. Nowadays, many medicated sanitary napkins on the market are said to be anti-bacterial, anti-bacterial, anti-itch, reduce menstrual pain, soothe discomfort and balance vaginal pH. If women who really suffer from gynecological diseases, these sanitary napkins will definitely not be able to play a therapeutic role, while women who do not have diseases will not be able to prevent the occurrence of diseases when they use them. Some medicated sanitary napkins may disrupt the pH balance of the private parts, cause dysbiosis, reduce the self-immune and cleansing effect of the private parts, and make them more susceptible to bacterial attack. For women with sensitive bodies, they should be careful with medicated sanitary napkins, as they may cause skin allergies and itchy private parts and other symptoms. People with sensitive skin are better off with soft and comfortable cotton sanitary napkins that are less irritating to the skin. Bad habit four: love to use sanitary pads Some women feel that the leukorrhea is not clean, in the absence of menstruation love to use sanitary pads. Women’s vulva needs a breathable, dry and clean environment to stay healthy. No matter how pads are advertised for their high degree of breathability and comfort, there is a plastic film on the bottom layer, which is dense and airless. Long-term use will increase the humidity and temperature of the vulva, creating conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi, destroying the pH of the vagina and easily inducing vaginitis. This is especially true in summer or in the humid and hot rainy season in the south. It is okay to use sanitary pads a few times, but not every day. If you use sanitary pads, make sure to change them often to keep them dry. Some women like snow white sanitary napkins, psychologically feeling that the whiter they are the more clean and hygienic they may be, the better for their health. In fact, it may be just the opposite. Too white sanitary napkins may have added fluorescent agents and whitening agents, long-term use may be harmful to health. How to know if the sanitary napkins you use contain fluorescent agents, the Internet once circulated with ultraviolet light testing method. However, the accuracy and safety of this testing method has been questioned by professionals, and it is not advocated that ordinary consumers use UV light sources at home, because UV light is harmful to the human body. In addition, the naked eye observation of ultraviolet radiation after the presence of blue light is very inaccurate, subjective influence by the observer. How to identify whether sanitary napkins contain fluorescent agents, consumers can do very little. In this regard, try to choose large brands of sanitary napkins, do not long-term fixed use of a brand (unless you know that it is very safe and reliable), different brands often change the use of sanitary napkins may contain harmful substances in the body to reduce the accumulation. Bad habit 6: prefer large absorbent sanitary napkins The use of large absorbent sanitary napkins has the advantage that when it is not convenient to change sanitary napkins frequently, there will not be side leakage problems due to excessive blood volume. Therefore, large-absorbency sanitary napkins are very popular. Some women are inert, and once they use high absorbency sanitary napkins, they are lazy and don’t change them for a long time, which can cause poor local ventilation, leading to the reproduction of bacteria and thus inducing various gynecological diseases. Even if you favor large-absorbent sanitary napkins, do not forget to replace them once every two hours or so. The first thing you need to do is to wash your hands before replacing the sanitary napkin. Many people remember this, but it is best to wash your hands before replacing the sanitary napkin. This is because the process of unpacking, opening, smoothing and pasting sanitary napkins by hand will bring germs to the sanitary napkin. The sanitary napkin is in direct contact with women’s vulva skin and menstruation is a period when women’s resistance is low, a little inattention, increasing the chances of gynecological diseases. Bad habits eight: patronize the cashier to buy sanitary napkins menstruation suddenly came without any preparation, some women will kill to the cashier to buy a packet of sanitary napkins to save the emergency. But now there are a lot of counterfeit sanitary napkins, these high imitation products are mostly processed with marginal materials, disinfection is not sufficient, quality is not up to scratch, and even exposure to sanitary napkins seen insects. The main sales terminal of these counterfeit products is small stores. So usually buy sanitary napkins as much as possible to choose the big shopping malls, supermarkets, and develop the habit of always having a sanitary napkin in the bag to avoid sudden menstruation blindness, but also to help sisters save the day.
