Purchase and use of sanitary napkins
Women who are menstruating are most vulnerable to skin damage in sensitive areas. The survey shows that 73% of women experience local itching and burning pain during menstruation. This is mostly caused by the use of non-breathable sanitary napkins. Therefore, in order to make special days more comfortable, it is very important to choose the right sanitary napkins.
I remember that in August 2001, 15 women from a province in southwestern China complained about the use of sanitary napkins to be infected with fungi. This caused an uproar throughout the country. As a result, the country has paid unprecedented attention to this widely used feminine hygiene product. . Furthermore, a large inspection of the quality of sanitary napkins was launched nationwide, which improved the product quality of sanitary napkins. At the same time, some heinous incidents were discovered:
1. 'Black Heart Sanitary Napkins': A sanitary napkin made of waste medical cotton gauze and other pulverized processing was discovered in a northwestern province in October 2001. The surface of this sanitary napkin is dark and slightly gray. There are faint blood scabs on the waste medical cotton and rotten gauze pulled out of the sanitary napkins. With a little effort, dusty broken cotton wool flew up in the air, which was shocking.
2. 'Secondary sanitary napkins': In December 2001, some scavengers in a city in southwestern China collected used sanitary napkins and sent them to criminals who specially purchased such sanitary napkins. Dirty sanitary napkins are poured into a sink for rinsing, and then dried and bleached with sulfur. After these procedures are completed, they repackage them with counterfeit packaging prepared in advance, and then directly send these sanitary napkins to some wholesale markets and small shops in some residential communities for sale. Some women have symptoms that are difficult to talk about after using it, and some even lead to suspicion between husband and wife, and a crisis in the family.
Sanitary napkins are generally composed of three parts: the surface layer, the absorbent layer and the bottom layer. The materials and functions of these three parts are mainly considered when selecting them.
(1) The surface layer should choose a dry mesh funnel type: the dry surface can protect the local skin from moisture; the funnel-shaped design is better than the barrel-shaped design, and the liquid that penetrates is not easy to return.
(2) The middle layer should be breathable and contain a high-efficiency gel layer: sanitary napkins with a high-efficiency gel layer can condense the infiltrated liquid into a jelly-like shape, and will not seep back after pressure, and there is no surface Sticky feeling.
(3) The bottom layer is preferably made of breathable materials: it can allow gaseous water molecules to pass smoothly, so as to discharge moisture in time, and effectively reduce the role of sanitary napkins and the body to discharge moisture. Effectively reduce the dampness and sultry heat between the sanitary napkin and the body, and keep the feeling of dryness and freshness.
