1. Do not use pads during non-menstrual period
Some girls use pads every day in order not to change their underwear every day and wash their underwear. But in fact, this is a very unhealthy practice.
The private part needs a breathable environment, and the back of the pad has a layer of plastic film, which is airtight, which can easily lead to health problems in the private part.
2. Do not use sanitary napkins for too long
Human blood is rich in nutrients and is very suitable for the growth of pathogens, and the same is true of women's menstrual blood. Especially during menstruation, the private parts are humid and warm. If the sanitary napkin is not changed for several hours, it is easy to make the sanitary napkin a "hotbed" for the growth of various pathogens.
The consequence of this is that it can cause some gynecological diseases in light, and in serious cases, bacterial infection may be caused by bacteria entering human blood from private parts.
In addition, the close distance between the urethra, vagina and anus of women will also allow pathogenic bacteria to move through the sanitary napkin, increasing the possibility of cross-infection.
Therefore, sanitary napkins must be replaced in time during menstruation. When there is a lot of menstrual blood, it should be replaced every 2 hours, and even if there is less menstrual blood, it should be replaced every 4-5 hours.
3. Wash hands before changing sanitary napkins
When changing sanitary napkins, it is inevitable that you will touch the cotton surface of the sanitary napkin with your hands, which can easily transfer bacteria from your hands to the sanitary napkin.
When women have weak resistance during menstruation, sanitary napkins will directly contact private parts, and some inadvertent bacterial transmission may cause private parts infection and cause gynecological diseases.
Therefore, girls and friends, before changing sanitary napkins, don't be lazy, clean your hands well, and make sure your hands are clean before changing sanitary napkins.
