Do you really use sanitary napkins? Don't put them in the bathroom!
Women belong to a sensitive and vulnerable group and need special care. Every month, female friends have to have close contact with some hygiene products, and some can even get in touch every day. Therefore, the correct use of these private products is very important to women's health. The editor has compiled some information to benefit the majority of women. Sanitary napkins also have a shelf life. Every time you go to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins, what else do you look for besides the brand and model? We are talking about the shelf life. Sanitary napkins, pads, and tampons have a shelf life like food, but few people pay attention. We usually think that sanitary products should be sterile after high temperature sterilization. In fact, this sterility has a time limit, and there is no guarantee of sterility beyond the time limit. Before buying sanitary products, you must pay attention to the expiry date on the package. There are also many quality assurance techniques in use. How to ensure the quality of sanitary napkins 1. Do not put them in the bathroom. Sanitary napkins are easy to deteriorate after being damp, causing bacteria to invade and multiply, even if they are not opened, they will be contaminated, so they need to be stored in a dry and sterile environment. In this way, a damp, dark bathroom is obviously not suitable for storing sanitary napkins. It is best to have a small drawer dedicated to storing such sanitary products, which is separated from other items. 2. Use up in the month after opening. Heating is generally available in northern areas, and the temperature is relatively high, which is the environment where bacteria can multiply. The sanitary napkins that have been opened are stored for too long and may be contaminated. Generally, one month's amount (20 tablets for night and daily use) is enough at home, don't buy too much at once. 3. Wash hands before touching sanitary napkins. You know how to wash your hands after going to toilet, but how many people can wash your hands before going to toilet? Remember, you must wash your hands first during your menstrual period. Because the process of unpacking, opening, smoothing, and pasting the sanitary napkin by hand will bring germs to the sanitary napkin. Sanitary napkins directly contact female vulva skin, and menstrual period is a period when women’s resistance is low. A little carelessness is prone to infection, leading to gynecological diseases.
