Hygienic daily pads In the old days, women used hygienic materials for papyrus, pieces of cloth, wool, moss, paper and other "riches" of nature. For the first time some kind of pads was invented in the 19th century. During the First World War, medical sisters for the manufacture of gaskets used surgical dressings. After the end of the war, the production of sanitary napkins began to develop on a commercial basis. Over the past century, gaskets underwent various changes, the end result of which was their convenience in use and comfort.

Daily pads

Hygienic daily pads are hygienic devices that are fixed on underwear, intended for absorption:

  • daily vaginal discharge( daily pads for women);
  • menstruation( hygienic pads);
  • postpartum discharge( pads for the postpartum period);
  • urine, with incontinence( urological pads).

There are many gaskets that differ in thickness, length, shape, color and the presence or absence of "wings".
Most recently, TV screens have begun to advertise gaskets for daily use. Most women, following advertising appeals, reached for store shelves for such a necessary thing, they believe, a thing. But professional gynecologists argue that any daily pads, from whatever high-quality material they are made, harm the health of women. And in fact, they used to do things without them before.

Use or damage of

gaskets It should be noted that there is no unambiguous opinion about the benefits or harm of daily gaskets. No medical and scientific research capable of understanding this issue has ever been conducted. Many gynecologists believe that for a woman with a normal microflora, such hygiene products are simply not needed. To maintain freshness, it will be enough to take a shower regularly and wear clean underwear. Daily hygiene pads should be used only when necessary, for example, a few days before the start of menstruation. Experts also believe that daily pads are one of the main causes of thrush and vaginosis.

Composition of daily gaskets

The composition of any gasket includes a thin layer of pressed cellulose that does not cause allergies, but significantly hinders the natural circulation of air. Even if the package is worth the mark "breathing", you will not be able to avoid the greenhouse effect, so the gasket turns into an excellent environment for the reproduction of bacteria.
But many women are so accustomed to these convenient gaskets that they simply can not abandon them.

Rules for the use of daily gaskets

1. Daily gaskets must be changed every three hours. The longer you use it, the less benefit it brings to you. If you do not replace the gasket for 6 hours, then you run the risk of damaging your body.

2. Choose gaskets, which were produced using environmentally friendly and high-quality materials, hygienically certified.

3. Gaskets must be hermetically sealed to prevent moisture and bacteria from entering. This mainly applies to packages containing 20 or more gaskets.

4. You can not sleep with the gasket. Your body should rest and breathe at night.

5. Daily pads should not have a strong odor. Often in the manufacture of gaskets, deodorizing substances are added in them. In the event that there are too many of them, you can get skin irritation or allergies. But more often it happens that perfumes are added little and they do not fully perform the function that is assigned to them. The most optimal option is daily laying, without the addition of aromatic fragrances.

6. Multi-colored daily pads are a direct way to develop allergies. The mucous membrane and the skin of the sexual organs of women are very sensitive to all chemical compounds, and therefore they should avoid direct contact with dyes, perfumes and synthetic materials.
