Experts suggest that in big shopping malls, try to choose products from reputable manufacturers, and carefully check the hygiene license number, anti-counterfeiting mark and shelf life on the outer packaging-but this is only the most basic.
Reminder 1: change, be more diligent.
Dr. Ding said: "Menstrual blood is rich in nutrients and can easily become a' culture medium' for bacterial reproduction. Therefore, sanitary napkins must be changed frequently. "
There are two wrong ways:
First, use sanitary napkins with strong absorption and good protective function, which means that it doesn't matter if you use the same sanitary napkin for a long time;
Second, when the menstrual flow is small, I forget to replace it.
There is a survey: Japanese women change their menstrual period six times a day on average, while women in China change it three times. As Asians, there should not be much difference in physical fitness, while the overall menstrual flow of women in China should be larger, because the proportion of using intrauterine contraceptive rings is high.
Reminder 2: Use medical sanitary napkins with caution, especially for women with allergies.
Sanitary napkins from regular manufacturers, the raw materials are specially tested for safety and have been used for many years.
If we have allergies, it is usually because of our physical problems-the same reason that some people are allergic to shrimps and crabs.
The only way to prevent allergies is to avoid allergens, so once you feel irritated, itchy and uncomfortable, stop using this sanitary towel immediately, and it is best to find out the ingredients that cause allergies (the most common is the essence in sanitary napkins). Do not use sanitary napkins containing the same ingredients.
So, how to choose a sanitary towel that suits you?
During menstruation, women's sensitive skin is the most fragile. According to the survey, 73% of women will feel local itching and burning pain during menstruation. This is mostly caused by the use of airtight sanitary napkins. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable sanitary towel and spend the menstrual period safely. Sanitary stickers are generally composed of surface layer, absorption layer and bottom layer. First of all, when using them, we should consider the materials and functions of these three parts.
First of all, the surface layer should be a funnel-shaped dry net. A dry surface can protect local skin from moisture; The funnel design is better than the barrel design, and the infiltrated liquid is not easy to flow back.
Second, the middle layer is breathable and contains an efficient gelatinization layer. Sanitary napkins with high-efficiency gelatinization layer can condense the infiltrated liquid into gel, which will not re-penetrate after being pressed, and the surface has no sticky feeling.
Thirdly, the bottom layer should be made of breathable materials, which can make gaseous water molecules pass through smoothly, so as to achieve the function of timely discharging moisture, effectively reduce the moisture release effect between sanitary napkins and the body, effectively reduce the humidity and sultry between sanitary napkins and the body, and maintain a dry and fresh feeling.
One more thing to note is:
Look at the "health index" before buying sanitary napkins. When purchasing sanitary napkins, women must take aseptic hygiene as the principle, carefully read the production and use instructions of the purchased sanitary napkins, understand the control of their sanitary indicators, and be safe and clean. Never stick to a certain brand and ignore the health index. In addition, there must be a "qualified" sign, so that sanitary napkins can be purchased with confidence.
Experts suggest: "people with sensitive skin should use less dry nets and more cotton nets." Dry mesh absorbs quickly, but cotton mesh is softer and more comfortable and less irritating to the skin. " In addition, allergies are more likely to occur in summer, because moisture accumulates locally, so it is more important to pay attention to frequent replacement. "
Reminder 3: It is best to change sanitary napkins every two hours.
Miss Zhang has been using tampons, mainly for cleanliness. She can't stand the smell of menstrual blood on sanitary napkins. In fact, menstrual blood doesn't smell when it just comes out, but it is oxidized when it comes into contact with air, and this smell is produced when several chemicals are mixed together.
Of course, the way to overcome it is to choose products with good breathability and change them frequently.
Dr Hui Ding also suggested that you should not eat high-fat and high-calorie foods during menstruation, but use fruits, vegetables and beans instead. A light diet will refresh you.
Reminder 4: Keep a distance from sanitary napkins.
Before and after menstruation, sanitary napkins are a convenient, practical and clean choice when it is inconvenient to take a bath when traveling or traveling. Dr Dante thinks: "Sanitary napkins should not be used all the time."
"The skin of vulva is similar to the skin structure of lips. In medicine, if the lips are damaged, smart plastic surgeons can transplant pudendal skin to rebuild. For the skin in these two places, the ideal environment is-neither too dry nor too wet. Imagine that our care for our lips is often wrapped up? "
"Delicate skin needs a very breathable environment. If the seal is too tight, moisture will accumulate, which will easily breed germs and cause various health problems. The most ideal product is high-top cotton underwear, which needs to be changed every day; If you use sanitary napkins, don't forget to choose products with good breathability. "
Dr. Ding also reminded: "If there are many leucorrhea, the color is yellow or bloody, and there is an odor, it may be because of diseases such as vaginal inflammation. At this time, the best way is not to use sanitary napkins, but to see a doctor in gynecology as soon as possible. "
Reminder 5: disinfection and bleaching
Sanitary napkins are not completely sterile, because it is difficult and unnecessary: menstrual blood itself contains many microorganisms. According to a study, each gram of menstrual blood contains 108 ~ 9 microorganisms, but generally speaking, it is harmless to human body. Therefore, many brands of sanitary napkins are not specially disinfected. As long as it meets the national standards: no pathogenic bacteria and the number of microorganisms is within a certain range, it will not harm our health.
There are also some products on the market that have been disinfected. It should be noted that disinfection is mostly carried out by a chemical gas-ethylene oxide, which must be stored for a period of time before it can be put on the market, otherwise the residual ethylene oxide may cause harm to human body. The state has special regulations on this.
Is the whiteness of sanitary napkins "floating"? Not necessarily. Some sanitary napkins, the raw material itself has a very white color, without bleaching; There are also sanitary napkins that use fluorescent whitening agents-but we don't need to smell fluorescent whitening agents to change color. At present, there are thousands of fluorescent brighteners in the world, some of which are suspected to be harmful to human health, but they are not used in the paper industry; In other words, there is no evidence that the optical brighteners currently used in papermaking are harmful.
Reminder 6: Sanitary napkins are environmentally friendly.
A woman needs about10.5 million sanitary napkins in her life. It seems that we should consider environmental protection. Environmental experts tell us that waste sanitary napkins belong to "non-recyclable" garbage. If your city is recyclable and non-recyclable, then classify it as non-recyclable. Never throw sanitary napkins into sewers, which is an important reason for the blockage of urban sewers.
The netizen asked:
Q Is environmental sanitary napkin our choice?
A sanitary napkins consume a lot, so environmental protection is the first problem. Wood pulp fibers in sanitary napkins can be naturally degraded, but there are not enough degradable polyethylene materials at home and abroad, and waste sanitary napkins are still being buried. In high-end hotels, it is an environmentally friendly and civilized practice to put sanitary napkins into special garbage bags and not mix them with toilet paper baskets. We should do such little things more in our daily life. Nowadays, environmentally friendly sanitary napkins refer to products with single outer packaging and adhesive tape, which save materials and technology.
Q: Should I choose medical sanitary napkins?
Personally, I strongly object. We should protect women's normal pH and resistance. You should get a doctor's guidance if you don't get it in time, but normal people don't need it. As far as I know, most medical experts hold the same view.
Reminder: "environmental protection" sanitary napkins are not environmentally friendly.
The key is to pay attention to the disposal method. Environmental experts said that under the current circumstances, it is an environmental protection practice to put sanitary napkins into toilet paper baskets instead of flushing them into the sewers of toilets.
Bian Xiao reminded:
Eight common mistakes in sanitary napkins
1, do not wash your hands before using sanitary napkins. The process of manual unpacking, opening, smoothing and pasting of sanitary napkins will bring a lot of germs to sanitary napkins.
2, sanitary napkins in the bathroom. Most of the toilets in our country are darkroom toilets, which are not exposed to sunlight all day, and are relatively humid, which is easy to breed mold and pollute sanitary napkins.
3, regardless of the shelf life, it is convenient to buy more than one package of sanitary napkins at a time. In fact, the sanitary requirements of sanitary napkins are very strict. The closer to the production date, the more assured the quality.
4. Buy promotional products. Generally speaking, promotional items and gifts are often unsalable goods bundled by merchants, such as more economical materials, looser testing, longer inventory time, etc., and the product quality is difficult to guarantee.
5. Be the "new product experimenter" of the manufacturer. New brands, new varieties, new fabrics and new concepts are flying all over the sky, and promotion often leads to impulsive consumption. For example, the popular dry mesh surface, many people with allergies will appear red, itchy and allergic after using it. Reliable manufacturers, reliable shops, good reputation and personal experience are still the most basic common sense in choosing sanitary napkins.
6. Sanitary napkins with drugs or scents are not recognized by most doctors. Drugs or aromatic ingredients may have adverse effects on the body.
7, changing sanitary napkins is not diligent enough. The consumption of sanitary napkins per menstrual period of Chinese women is obviously less than that of European, American and Japanese women, so it is not advisable to pay the health price for saving.
8. It is very wrong to blindly pursue large absorption and be lazy to replace it, which leads to the growth of bacteria.
The storage of sanitary napkins is very particular
Sanitary napkins should be stored in a dry and sterile environment and have a certain period of validity. If the sanitary napkin is wet or stored for a long time, it will deteriorate and pollute even if it is not opened. Generally, sanitary napkins are made of non-woven fabrics and fibers. Materials deteriorate after being wetted, and bacteria are easy to invade and multiply. Sanitary napkins are sterilized at high temperature. After all, the validity period of one-time disinfection and sterilization is limited, and sterility cannot be guaranteed beyond the time limit. Therefore, when using sanitary napkins, we should pay attention to the shelf life, and don't buy too many at a time, which is not suitable for families to hide for a long time. Unsealed sanitary napkins should be placed in a dry, clean and sterile environment, and should not be used after being wet and expired.
In addition, medical sanitary napkins should be used with caution. Medical sanitary napkins have played a certain role in cleaning female genitalia and preventing and treating various gynecological diseases. However, medical sanitary napkins are not suitable for everyone, because people's constitutions are very different, and some people are allergic to certain substances. Therefore, no matter what kind of sanitary towel you use, you should pay attention to your reactions and feelings. Women who are allergic at ordinary times should use or not use medical sanitary napkins with caution.
Experience in using major brands of sanitary napkins
Puberty came, and girls began to menstruate. Since then, we have formed an indissoluble bond with sanitary napkins.
I'm sorry to say this, but I'm a big fan of sanitary napkins. I will try all new brands and specifications. When I go to the supermarket, the greatest pleasure is to visit that counter area, look carefully and choose slowly! When I opened my box in college, I found that all kinds of sanitary napkins occupied half of the country. Even now, I still like to buy a lot of sanitary napkins and keep them at home. I don't know, it seems to have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Big S is the beauty king, and I am recognized as the king. Hehe, I'm really embarrassed to say.
After using so much, let me talk about my feelings about various brands after using them, hoping to help JM. (Don't laugh) _
1 It's charming and refreshing. I don't need to say that everyone knows it's a big brand and it's my favorite now. I strongly recommend his silk thin daily-use model (white package) with 108 high-efficiency shock absorber. Excellent diversion effect, quick absorption, lightness and convenience, and most importantly, low price, only 20 tablets will cost more than 9 yuan. If you are lucky, you can take it home at a special price in 7 yuan. _ And his super absorbent sanitary towel is also excellent, which is very convenient to use when menstruation is almost clean. 5, 6 yuan 40 yuan, the price is reasonable.
Leya: I use his smooth and soft silk protector and sleeping angel (for use at night). Leya's side leakage is the best, and his auxiliary concave channel can effectively prevent side leakage. I remember when I first went to high school, my classmates borrowed it from me. Because of his design, I didn't see the wings, so I felt useless. Although there are many side leaks, it left a good impression on me. His sleeping angel is also very good, a bit like a diaper used by BB, which is divided into 30 and 34CM. Generally, more than 30 is enough, and the T-shaped three-dimensional apron is not afraid of leakage. The only bad thing is that his house is not very sticky, and wearing loose pants may be a little dangerous. There is also the price, which is a bit expensive. Daily use for 20 times costs more than 13 yuan. It's more expensive at night, more than 4 yuan in 6 yuan. But I think it's worth buying a sleep. It is highly recommended to use it at night.
3ABC has a cool mint smell, especially on such a day, which smells particularly comfortable. It's cool for you. It's weird. It's like eating mint there _ It can also prevent odor. That's great. If you can't say it well, it's really too expensive A pack of eight is almost as many as 9 yuan. I only buy it when there is an event gift. I'm not willing to use it after buying it. I must slowly realize his cool feeling. Hmm. How interesting
I used to use his family's before, and I felt that it penetrated quickly, which was not bad. Until college. ...
I used to like to use a dry net. I think it is clean and sticky. In college, I liked running to lose weight. Once I came, I used Hushubao, which was very dry, but I ran away because it was not too much. When I ran back, the problem appeared. My thigh root was worn through by his dry wing, which made my roommate laugh and hurt. I don't need Hu Shubao anymore.
Later, I heard that someone in his family found black spots on it, which made me even more afraid to use it because of security risks.
The second time, I specially reminded my sisters that the texture is actually closer to the feeling of skin, so it is better, which I learned later. And now the technology is very high, and the noodles feel dry and comfortable.
Sophie once bought him a three-dimensional apron for household items, but after using it, she felt that the apron was a bit redundant and would get blood on it. When using it, she should turn the apron outward by hand, otherwise it will always turn inward, which has not played an ideal role and needs to be improved (I don't know if there is any progress), but fortunately there is no side leakage and the penetration rate is ok. His pajamas are 35CM, which should be the longest among sanitary napkins. The price of his house is similar to that of Leya, but the effect is not as good as Leya.
6 Shu is probably the earliest brand of sanitary napkins in China. I used to use his family when I had no choice. Later, when I had more choices, I bought his house because the price was cheap. I can save a lot of money when I use it at the end of my period. Now let me find a cheap and comfortable beauty, so I don't need comfort anymore. I think his family's absorption is average, even the instant blue series with good advertisements is no exception. It feels normal.
I bought the kiosk when it was first introduced, but it was found to be average. I am not satisfied with the absorption effect and leakage prevention, but it is useless after use.
Kotex was once very popular. Before I came to try to buy it, I overheard the girl next door say that her underwear was stuck by kotex and tore a hole. Faced with the danger of damaging underwear, I hesitated, hehe. So I still don't know what it feels like. I think there should be some basis for Leya's weak adhesion. ^_^
Nine-dimensional space (like this name) was used when it first came out, and I didn't feel it.
There should be many other brands, many of which are regional products. Don't comment if you don't know. I think the hygiene of this kind of thing is very important, so I believe in the products produced by large enterprises. While paying attention to price, we should also pay attention to quality, comfort and convenience. To sum up, I recommend exquisite daily silk and sleeping angel. Of course, it is purely a personal opinion, so consider it as a reference. It is important to spend those days in the most comfortable and safe way every month. ^_^
MM later mentioned OB tampons. Here I would like to remind you that tampons must not be used at night, because the time at night is too long, OB is prone to produce toxins and poisoning. I'm not alarmist. I hope JM will pay attention to this. If you don't believe me, you can search for relevant information.
Besides, MM mentioned that it always leaks from the back at night. I usually put a paper pad in the thigh groove. Don't make the paper too thick If you plug the gap in the middle, you won't worry about it leaking out.
Some people say they will get it in bed. My mother made a summer sleeping mat with thin cotton inside, so that I can put it on the bed when I come to menstruation, and wash it when it is dirty. Last time I was in the supermarket, I thought I saw two cushions for menstruation. You can also buy that.
