How to choose sanitary napkins reasonably?
1, appearance distinguishes the advantages and disadvantages of sanitary napkins.
symbol
The outer packaging of sanitary napkins should be marked with the following signs: hygiene license number, production date, shelf life or validity period, implementation standard number (GB8939- 1999, GB 15979-2002), name and address of the manufacturer, etc.

The seal of each outer package and independent small package should be smooth and airtight.
thickness
A good sanitary towel should have a clean surface, uniform thickness and good sealing.
feel
In terms of hand feel, a good sanitary towel is made in fluff pulp, which is light and soft because of its strong absorbency and good bulkiness. Sanitary napkins mixed with other pulp and scraps are heavy and dead.
2. Give priority to the quality products of large enterprises.
Generally speaking, large sanitary towel enterprises have good production environment, strict management, strict monitoring of physical properties and health indicators, and many of them have passed the quality system certification. The products of these enterprises are generally high-quality products in the national supervision and spot check of product quality, and some even reach the first-class products several times in a row. The safety of sanitary napkins selected by these large enterprises can be relatively guaranteed.
3, scientific use of sanitary napkins
Generally, women's menstrual period can be divided into three stages, and different types of sanitary napkins can be selected according to these three stages. When the menstrual flow is large, you need to use wings during the day and be safe at night; Usually you can use the standard type; You can use ultra-thin or pads before and after menstruation. On the one hand, this collocation choice is for safety and comfort, on the other hand, it is also for saving menstrual expenses.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to ensure that a whole package of sanitary napkins can be used up every time, especially for office women, who often need to carry one or two pieces with them. Once the whole package of sanitary napkins is opened, it is easy to cause pollution. Therefore, from a health point of view, it is appropriate to buy individually packaged sanitary napkins. If you want to consider economic factors, you can buy sanitary napkins without independent packaging, but there are fewer pills per package.
4. Pay attention to your feelings when choosing sanitary napkins.
There are many kinds of sanitary napkins, such as cotton surface, mesh surface, fragrance type and medical sanitary napkins. They have their own characteristics. Generally speaking, cotton sanitary napkins have fast absorption speed and good permeability resistance, and suitable medical sanitary napkins have health care functions. But because everyone's physical quality is different, the feeling of sanitary napkins will be different. For example, some people feel that the mesh surface is dry, some people feel uncomfortable in contact with the skin, and some people are allergic to medical sanitary napkins. Therefore, we should choose the one that suits us best according to the actual feeling of using it.
5. Be careful of sanitary napkins made of foreign garbage
According to related reports, with the expansion of the domestic sanitary napkin market, some small domestic enterprises illegally import waste scraps from foreign manufacturers, and use waste diapers, diapers and sanitary napkins to remove sanitary napkins produced in fluff pulp, and put them on the market, so it is difficult to guarantee the hygiene index. The sales price of this so-called "sanitary towel" is 50% lower than that of regular manufacturers on average. Therefore, please keep your eyes open, avoid being greedy for cheap, try to buy brands with good market reputation in big shopping malls and supermarkets, and don't buy them at random in roadside shops.
6. It is very important to prevent "re-pollution"
Because there are many bacteria on people's hands, when opening sanitary napkins, try not to touch the surface of sanitary napkins with your hands to avoid secondary pollution. It is best to wash your hands before use. Women's sanitary napkins should be replaced in time after use, especially in the case of excessive menstrual blood. If it is not replaced in time, a large amount of menstrual blood can become a culture medium for microorganisms, and microorganisms will multiply rapidly.
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.
