1. What should I do if I am allergic to sanitary napkins?
1, the main method to prevent allergic sanitary napkins is to avoid allergens:
Stop using this sanitary towel immediately when you feel uncomfortable such as lack of oxygen and irritation. It would be better if we could find out the allergic ingredients. The most common allergic component is the essence in sanitary napkins, and sanitary napkins containing the same component should not be used again.
2, sensitive skin women had better not use dry net:
Choose more sanitary napkins with cotton mesh surface. Although the dry mesh cloth absorbs quickly, the cotton cloth is softer and more comfortable, and it is less irritating to the skin. Especially in summer, allergic phenomena are more likely to occur, which is caused by local accumulation of moisture, so attention should be paid to frequent replacement.
3, prevent allergic sanitary napkins:
It is recommended to change a diaper every two hours. Some women like to use sanitary napkins because they can't stand the smell of menstrual blood left on sanitary napkins. But in fact, menstrual blood has no smell when it first comes out, but when it comes into contact with the air, an oxidation reaction takes place, and several chemicals are mixed together to produce an unpleasant smell.
4. It is recommended to choose products with good air permeability:
And frequent replacement can effectively avoid the allergy of sanitary napkins. Dr. Hui Ding suggested that women should not eat high-fat and high-calorie foods during menstruation, but should mainly eat vegetables, fruits and beans, and try to eat light foods, so as to make their bodies feel refreshed.
5. Keep a certain distance from the sanitary towel:
Although it is a convenient and practical choice, it should not be used frequently.
The skin structure of female private parts is similar to that of lips. If the lips are damaged, the plastic surgeon can transplant the skin of the female private parts. The best environment for skin in these two parts should not be too dry or too wet. Delicate skin needs a well-ventilated environment. If it is too closed, it will gather too much moisture, which is easy to breed germs and cause health hazards. It is recommended to wear high-top cotton underwear every day and wash it frequently. When sanitary napkins are needed, choose products with good breathability. In addition, if the leucorrhea is more, the color is yellow or bloody, and there is an odor, it may be a symptom of female genital diseases such as female genital inflammation, and it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
6. Disinfected and bleached sanitary napkins are not sterile:
True sterility is very difficult and unnecessary. There are many microorganisms in menstrual blood. According to research, there are about 108 microorganisms in each gram of menstrual blood, which is not dangerous to human body. Therefore, many sanitary towel brands have not undergone special disinfection, as long as they meet the national standards, do not contain pathogenic bacteria, and the number of microorganisms is within the prescribed range.
2. Precautions for using sanitary napkins
1, there are two common mistakes in life: one is to use a sanitary towel with strong absorption and good protection function, and it doesn't matter if you use the same sanitary towel for a long time. The second is to forget to replace it when the quantity is small. Health. com reminds everyone not to wait until they are soaked, even if they are very wet, but also to change them every once in a while, because blood is the best culture medium for bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other microorganisms. If it is not replaced for a long time, there will be more and more microorganisms on sanitary napkins, which will easily cause gynecological inflammation. Please do not reuse it! Don't laugh, there are really such wonderful things around us. Some people save money for menstrual towels to buy cigarettes for their husbands. You are so stupid!
2. Do not put bulk sanitary napkins in pockets and handbags with RMB, keys, etc. It is best to have a separate sealed package.
3, sanitary napkins must be clean and stored, should be placed in a ventilated and dry place, not in the bathroom. The bathroom is damp, and there is no sunshine, which is easy to breed bacteria and fungi and pollute sanitary napkins.
4. Buy sanitary napkins with good ventilation and smooth edges. If the ventilation is not good, the perineum will be too hot and humid, which will induce the reproduction of germs. If the boundary is rough, it may cause perineal skin damage and itching due to local repeated friction.
Don't buy too much at a time, because sanitary napkins should not be kept at home for a long time.
6. Try to choose a small package, or use a zipper seal or sealing strip that has been sealed for many times.
7. Do not buy sanitary napkins that have caused skin allergies or local discomfort in the past.
8. Choose sanitary napkins within the shelf life.
9. Try to use the sanitary napkin once after unpacking. If it is not used up, unpacked sanitary napkins should be placed in a clean environment, sealed packages or containers. It is best to use a zipper seal or a sealing strip with multiple seals.
10, it is best to wash your hands before changing sanitary napkins. Because the process of manual unpacking, opening, smoothing and pasting of sanitary napkins will bring germs to sanitary napkins. Sanitary napkins are in direct contact with women's vulva skin. During menstruation, women's resistance is low, the cervix is open, and bacteria are prone to retrograde. If you don't pay attention, you will increase the chance of suffering from gynecological diseases.
1 1. Do not use sanitary napkins beyond the shelf life. Do not use sanitary napkins and pads that may have been contaminated. Those that are damp, moldy and infected by bacteria can't be used again!
12. Do not disinfect sanitary napkins by mistake before use. Incorrect heating may lead to deformation and degradation of materials in sanitary napkins, which may lead to new problems. Improper heating may also lead to abnormal reproduction of microorganisms in sanitary napkins. Furthermore, there is a certain concentration of microorganisms in the living environment, such as clothes, furniture surfaces, toilet seats and so on. As long as microorganisms do not exceed the standard, they generally do not cause disease. Sanitary napkins do not need to be disinfected by themselves as long as their quality is qualified and their microbial concentration is within a safe range.
13, sanitary napkins and pads should not be used all the time. Some female friends like to use sanitary napkins every day, even if they have no menstruation. They think it will suck away the secretions from women's private parts, which is healthier, but it is not. If the local seal is too tight, it will be humid and hot for a long time, which will be particularly easy to breed germs and cause various health problems.
14, wear pure cotton underwear during non-menstrual period and change it every day. During non-menstrual period, make sure not to wear tight and airtight pants to avoid sedentary and regular walking and promote local air circulation in perineum.
15, if you use sanitary napkins, don't forget to choose products with good breathability. The use of tampons in clothes will not be affected, and it is more convenient to move and exercise, so more European and American women use them.
16, choose sanitary napkins with quality assurance. Unqualified products may have quality problems, such as microorganisms, additives and excessive water absorption. Too many microorganisms will increase the risk of gynecological inflammation, too many additives may lead to allergies, and insufficient water absorption may affect the quality of life and increase the occurrence of perineal eczema and inflammation. So try to choose the products of reputable manufacturers in big shopping malls, and carefully check the hygiene license number, anti-counterfeiting mark and shelf life on the outer packaging.
