The habit of using sanitary napkins is harmful to health.

If not careful, it is easy to cause disease in the genital area.

Use scented sanitary napkins

Using scented sanitary napkins can help us feel more confident during our period. However, this reduces the safety of your "little girl".

According to many studies, scented sanitary napkins are much more toxic than unscented sanitary napkins. They can increase the growth of bacteria, causing diaper rash, skin redness, etc. In particular, because the chemicals that create the scent in this type of napkin are very large, it can cause allergies and irritation, especially in sensitive people.

Not paying attention to the expiration date

Like other products, sanitary napkins also have strict requirements on the expiration date. In particular, the quality and antibacterial ability of sanitary napkins also depend a lot on this. It is only produced and designed to be antibacterial for a certain period of time. Therefore, when using expired sanitary napkins, you have put yourself at a great risk. The possibility that we can get infections and gynecological diseases because of this is very high.

Leave sanitary napkins in the bathroom

This is a mistake that many women often make because this is a convenient place, you can get sanitary napkins to use quickly. However, this seemingly clean and safe environment actually contains many dangers.

The humidity of the bathroom creates conditions for bacteria to grow and develop. Therefore, the habit of leaving sanitary napkins in the bathroom will indirectly affect the "little girl". It causes bacteria to enter the private area when we use sanitary napkins, leading to inflammation, even gynecological diseases!

Do not wash your hands when changing bandages

We have to use our hands for all steps before and after changing sanitary napkins. Your hands will have to come into direct contact with sanitary napkins, even the "little girl". Even if you keep sanitary napkins very clean but forget to wash your hands, dirt and bacteria can completely penetrate inside and "attack" the private area. Therefore, washing hands is extremely important.

Therefore, to protect the safety of the "secret triangle", we need to pay attention to washing our hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap before and after changing sanitary napkins.

Lazy to change sanitary napkin

Many people have the habit of using sanitary napkins with high absorbency to limit the need to change them during the day. In addition, we may also forget to change them or be lazy to change them, so we use the same sanitary napkin for quite a long time. This has a very serious impact on the condition of the "little girl".

The environment of the "little girl" during "red light" days is often very humid, easily creating conditions for bacteria to invade and develop. This is the cause of increased gynecological diseases. Therefore, regardless of the amount of blood, you should still change your sanitary napkin after 3-4 hours of use!
