Consider Your Health

When Choosing a Sanitary Napkin

 


The human body is a delicate and complex system. Due to the special physical characteristics of women, the sanitary napkin is the women's indispensable "friend". But, this friend may bring considerable troubles when it is not treated well. The menstrual cycle is a special characteristic of female maturity that brings both blessings and possible problems for women. The menstrual cycle will go on for about half the life of a woman, i.e. at least 2,000 to 3,000 days.  A woman’s body may often be at its weakest during menstruation and if there are no proper measures of protection taken during this time, the woman’s health could be affected. As such, it is important to correct some misconceptions and wrong practices during menstruation.

 

 

…most sanitary napkins are made from bleached and recycled papers?

 

Sanitary napkins are classified as Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), are disposed right after use, hence, some manufacturers will have the tendency to use recycle paper as raw material to save on the costs of production. Large amount of chemical agents are required for recycling process to bleach, sterilize and remove odors from these used paper. The absorbent materials used in these sanitary napkins are chemical agents meant for industrial purposes, which will affect the reproduction organ of women. The bleached and processed recycled paper will be packaged as delicate looking sanitary napkins for the market and finally into the hands of consumers. Have you ever peeled a sanitary napkin to study its material contents?

  

How to choose suitable sanitary napkins?
 
During menstruation, the skin of the women’s sensitive part is most vulnerable.

Surveys have shown that 73% of the women would feel itchiness and pain on some parts of the skin during menstruation. These are mostly caused by the use of sanitary napkins which are not air permeable. As such, it is of critical importance to choose suitable sanitary napkins to ensure safety during menstruation. Sanitary napkins are normally made up of three layers: surface layer, absorbent layer and underlying layer. The choice of sanitary napkins should be based on considerations relating to the materials and functions of these three layers

 
Common mistakes in the use of sanitary napkins
 
1.   Not washing your hands clean before handling a new sanitary napkin: In the process of opening, flattening and putting on a sanitary napkin, the hands may bring many bacteria onto the sanitary napkin.

 

2.   Keeping the sanitary napkins in the wash room.

 

3.   Not paying attention to the expiry date: In fact, the requirements for hygienic standard of sanitary napkin are very strict and the sanitary napkin is of poorer quality if it is closer to the expiry date.

 

4.   Using products on trial: There are always new brands, new products, new materials and new concepts of sanitary napkins in the market and with aggressive promotion, consumers may be attracted into using them. For example, there is the popular sanitary napkin with dry net surface but many women with sensitive skin have complained of rashes and itchiness after use. Relying on reliable manufacturer, reliable shop, good reputation and one’s own experience is still the most basic principle of common sense in choosing appropriate sanitary napkins.

 

5.   Using sanitary napkins with medication or fragrance: Most doctors would not recommend such products because the medication and fragrance may have undesirable effects on the body.

 

6.   Using each sanitary napkin for a longer time: For women in Asia, the number of sanitary napkins used for each menstruation is apparently lower as compared with women in Europe and America. Saving money in this way at the expense of one’s own health is definitely not wise. It is best to change sanitary napkins every two hours.

 

7. Preferring to have high absorption: It is wrong to look for sanitary napkins with high absorption in the hope that sanitary napkins need not be changed frequently. This would lead to growth of more bacteria.
