Choosing different forms of products according to local conditions will bring convenience and comfort to life.

External products include sanitary napkins, sanitary pads, pants-type sanitary napkins, etc., and built-in main products are tampons, etc. External use products are represented by sanitary napkins. The structure of sanitary napkin mainly includes surface layer, guide layer, absorbent core layer and leak-proof bottom layer.

Tampons are divided into catheter tampons and finger-push tampons according to different placement methods. Novice recommend use catheter tampons for easy operation. The tampon should choose the appropriate absorption amount and follow the instructions of the product manual to ensure safe use.

In addition, consumers can choose different female menstrual care hygiene products to meet their needs according to the usage scenarios such as the amount of menstrual period, day and night, different seasons in summer and winter, wearing time (whether it is necessary to have a meeting and sedentary and inconvenient to replace, etc.).

Multidimensional measurement of product quality

If sanitary napkins are selected as menstrual care products, they should be comprehensively measured from the dimensions of absorption and leak-proof performance, comfort, adhesive fit, anti-deformation ability of the towel body and even brand awareness.

The absorbency of the sanitary napkin is the first property that the consumer needs to pay attention. The absorption capacity is closely related to the absorbent core, and the main sanitary napkins on the market are traditional cores, which are composed of fluff pulp and high absorbent resin (commonly known as absorbent beads). In addition, there are various advanced versions of new sanitary napkin cores, such as a one-piece absorbent core derived from liquid materials and almost all traditional sanitary napkin absorbent cores on the market. The one-piece absorbent core body is formed at one time without water absorption beads and fluff pulp. Its texture is as soft and elastic as latex pillow. At the same time, it can be almost as thin before suction and after suction without lump deformation, thus bringing consumers a more insensitive wearing experience.

There are other reasons that may cause leakage of sanitary napkins, for example, front leakage and back leakage caused by insufficient length of sanitary napkins, side leakage caused by displacement of sanitary napkins caused by fold deformation or weak back adhesive of sanitary napkins, and rubbing leakage caused by insufficient wing protection and easy warping.

The comfort of the sanitary napkin is also very important, which is mainly determined by the thickness of the sanitary napkin, the softness of the napkin body and the material of the surface layer. Soft cotton surface layer and pure cotton surface layer are both good choices. The light and thin towel body will be more breathable and not stuffy. The adhesive that is easy to stick and tear can fit better with underwear, reducing the overall presence of sanitary napkins.

Qualified sanitary napkins and tampon products have undergone strict quality testing to ensure safety and reliability. It is suggested that consumers should give priority to well-known brands, which have more stringent control over material selection, production technology and safety standards, with guaranteed safety and higher reliability.

Establish scientific cognition and usage habits

There is a big difference between the skin of the private muscle and other parts of the body. The skin barrier is more fragile and is easily affected by external irritants, causing skin problems such as redness, swelling, and itching. Therefore, consumers are advised to change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. At the same time, it is particularly important to choose a sanitary napkin with suitable absorption and dry surface, which can better reduce skin problems caused by menstrual blood, secretions and intimate muscle contact.

When using sanitary napkins, be sure to pay attention to regular replacement. Regardless of whether there are obvious blood stains, sanitary napkins should be replaced at least every 2-3 hours to prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce the risk of skin irritation and gynecological diseases. When the blood volume is large, change it more frequently. Tampons should be used for no more than 8 hours, usually 4-8 hours.

When storing sanitary napkins, avoid storing them in a damp toilet. It is recommended to choose a dry and ventilated place to keep it properly to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold and even insect infestation.

Pay attention to the safety of the ingredients when choosing sanitary napkins. Be cautious about products containing ingredients such as Chinese herbal medicines. Some natural ingredients and additives not only cannot inhibit bacteria and help vulva health, but may cause allergic reactions. For the added ingredients, be sure to ensure that there is no effect on the skin of women's private parts and normal flora.

Female consumers should establish a correct concept of menstrual hygiene, choose products that suit them, develop scientific habits of use, jointly protect women's health, and enjoy a more comfortable life.
