Nearly 90% of women are unlikely to buy sanitary napkins
When I visited some supermarkets recently, I randomly asked 17 women who were buying sanitary napkins. As a result, 15 people had never checked the labels of sanitary napkins carefully.
According to national regulations, the outer packaging of sanitary napkins should be fully marked, marked with the sanitary license number, production date, shelf life or validity period, implemented standard number, producer name and address, etc. The complete label is the first step in judging whether a sanitary napkin is a qualified product. The author sees that most major brands of sanitary napkins have more comprehensive labels on their packaging, and some are also marked with a warning 'If you have allergies, please suspend useNeither of the two ladies who had the habit of checking labels noticed the warning.
In addition, the shelf life of sanitary napkins has not been paid attention to by most women. Some women even like to buy a lot of sanitary napkins at home for later use. However, sanitary napkins are sterilized by high-temperature sterilization. After all, the validity period of one-time disinfection and sterilization is limited, and there is no guarantee of sterility after the deadline. If the sanitary napkins are stored for too long, they may deteriorate and become contaminated even if they are not opened. Therefore, relevant experts have suggested that when using sanitary napkins, you must pay attention to the expiry date. Don't buy too much at one time. Buy 'fresh' as you use it. It is not suitable for the family to store for long.
Many women suffer from 'sanitary napkin disease'
Director Li of the Gynecological Clinic of the City Women’s and Children’s Hospital told reporters that many women now suffer from vulvar inflammation due to improper use of sanitary napkins and pads. They usually experience symptoms such as itching, redness, increased vaginal discharge, and peculiar smell. The vulva of the most severe patient had already been ruptured.
According to the situation that Director Li understands, some of the ladies suffering from vulvar inflammation are used to buying sanitary products at roadside stalls, and many cheap sanitary napkins sold at mobile stalls are not up to standard in all aspects such as hygiene indicators. Can cause bacterial infection. Another situation is that some women use sanitary pads for a long time, even every day, but this idea of u200bu200bmaintaining hygiene can easily lead to vulvar inflammation. Director Li introduced that women’s vulva needs a breathable, dry, and clean environment to maintain health, but the cushions will have a plastic film on the bottom layer, which is airtight. If used for a long time, it will increase the humidity and temperature of the vulva, which will give bacteria, The growth of fungi creates conditions and induces vaginitis.
Director Li reminded that although improper use of sanitary napkins and pads can generally only cause inflammation of the vulva, if repeated infections occur, it may also cause vaginitis and cervicitis, so more attention should be paid. At the same time, remind women who have already suffered from vulvitis to go to a regular hospital and not to take any medication by themselves, because there are many reasons for vulvitis. After a laboratory test, medication is required according to the situation. Generally, vulvitis will heal after one week of treatment.
In terms of purchasing and using sanitary napkins, Director Li said that you must wash your hands before using sanitary napkins to prevent germs from being brought to the sanitary napkins during the process of unpacking, opening, smoothing, and pasting the sanitary napkins, because women have menstrual periods. The resistance is low, and a little carelessness can easily cause infection or cause gynecological diseases. Sanitary napkins should be kept in a dry and clean environment. Some people are accustomed to keeping sanitary napkins in the bathroom for a long time, but in this way, sanitary napkins are easy to get damp, deteriorate the material, and cause bacteria to invade and multiply. In addition, try to buy qualified products in the supermarket as much as possible, instead of using pads every day, just wear cotton, loose underwear. For women with allergies, try not to use aromatic sanitary napkins, because chemical substances are easy to cause allergies, so cotton sanitary napkins are best.
