The hot weather is the most annoying thing for aunties. What should sisters pay attention to?
It is very painful to come to "Big Aunt" in summer. The high temperature is already unbearable, and because of the sanitary napkins, it is always stuffy and hot there. If you use non-breathable sanitary napkins, it may produce odor, breed bacteria, and even lead to various gynecological diseases. So what issues should we pay attention to when caring for "aunt" in summer?
Don’t use the amount to measure whether you need to change sanitary napkins
Many women change the number of sanitary napkins not based on time, but based on quantity. When the quantity is large, change it more frequently, and when the quantity is small, change it only once a day. As everyone knows, ordinary sanitary napkins will become a "culture medium" for bacteria after being used for 2 hours. The total number of bacteria on the surface can reach 107/square centimeter. In addition, women's own immunity decreases during menstruation, making them more vulnerable to external bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended to change sanitary napkins every 2 hours regardless of the amount.
Medicated sanitary napkins are not necessarily healthy
Some sanitary napkins on the market claim to have drugs added to them, which will have a cooling or sterilizing effect after use. When many women hear that it contains "medicine", they think it is more trustworthy and healthier than ordinary sanitary napkins. However, sanitary napkins with unknown ingredients are more likely to cause allergies. Women are reminded that they should stop using it immediately if they feel irritation, itching, or discomfort. Especially those with sensitive skin should use it with caution. It is usually best to use cotton mesh, which is soft and comfortable and has less irritation to the skin.
It is best to wash your hands before using sanitary napkins
Many people know to pay attention to the hygiene of sanitary napkins, but they neglect to pay attention to hygiene when using sanitary napkins. If you do not wash your hands before using a sanitary napkin, germs from your hands will be transferred to the sanitary napkin during the process of unpacking, opening, smoothing, and pasting the sanitary napkin. Such sanitary napkins are in direct contact with women's vulva skin, which can easily lead to infection and gynecological diseases.
It is best not to put sanitary napkins in the toilet
Some women put sanitary napkins in the bathroom for convenience. As everyone knows, the air of sanitary napkins is humid and they are not exposed to sunlight all day long. Stored inside, they are susceptible to moisture and mold contamination. It is recommended that unpacked sanitary napkins be placed in a clean and dry place and should not be used again after getting damp. When purchasing, be sure to pay attention to the expiration date to prevent the sanitary napkin from being stored for too long and losing its sterility guarantee.
