For a modern girl, self-confidence is very important. First of all, confidence is neatness, in which hygiene products play a significant role: tampons or pads. Each of them has its own disadvantages and advantages, so you need to be careful when choosing a product.
Pros and cons of intimate hygiene products
The pads or tampons should not be uncomfortable for the woman. Therefore, girls with a calm lifestyle are advised to use pads, and ladies who play sports and move a lot, tampons.
So that during critical days a foreign smell does not appear, you can scent the inner layer of the gasket with any perfumes. It is very popular now. If a woman is prone to allergic irritations, such pads will cause her a rash. As well as colored ones - they can cause irritation of the intimate part of the body.
It is worth changing the pad after each bowel movement, because there is a risk of intestinal bacteria entering the body through the woman's vagina. When using a tampon, you just need to pull the cord to the side.
Many women notice discharge in the intimate area and therefore wear panty liners. Doctors say that if a woman is healthy, she does not need any additional intimate hygiene products, she only needs to take a refreshing shower every day and change her underwear. Panty liners are harmful to the body in that they create a greenhouse effect that encourages the growth of many bacteria.
A rather big drawback of tampons is that they need to be changed every 3-4 hours, even if the discharge is not very abundant. It is better to use pads at night than tampons. If the tampon remains in the vagina for longer than the prescribed time, it turns into a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and microorganisms. Through the woman's vagina, they enter the bloodstream, the work of the body is disrupted. It is poisoned by toxic substances, even toxic shock is possible, the symptoms of which are: vomiting, fever, weakness, diarrhea, rash, dizziness, chills, convulsions, drop in blood pressure. If you have similar symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor.
The opinion of gynecologists
Despite the huge number of various intimate hygiene products for women on critical days, many gynecologists advise giving preference to cotton or cotton pads. They do not cause allergies and do not contribute to the reproduction of harmful bacteria, they are time-tested, as even our grandmothers used them. But the frantic pace of life of a modern woman does not always allow her to use sanitary napkins. Sometimes gynecologists advise using tampons, but only when absolutely necessary, no more than a few hours a day.
