A majority of women choose menstrual tampons and sanitary pads to use during periods as opposed to the other methods. Both these products are not only very hygienic but also feel comfortable against the skin. It is important that no matter which method you choose, the product has to be of an exceptional quality. The quality of these products ensures how well you can manage hygiene during menstruation. The best quality products not only keep it very hygienic but also give massive comfort to you throughout the day. Also, in order to maintain good hygiene, choosing the right quality products alone is not enough. You need to inculcate healthy hygiene habits. No matter how exceptional quality products you are using, you need to change into a fresh napkin or tampon every three to four hours or less depending on your flow in order to avoid any infection and also stay fresh at all times.
As mentioned above, the top two types of menstrual products chosen by women are the tampon sanitary pads. While there are other methods to maintain hygiene during periods, a majority of women still prefer using these two. Both these products help in soaking up the menstrual blood efficiently while giving a cottony soft touch to their skin. These napkins are created to give your skin a feather touch experience. While both these products help in soaking up the menstrual blood efficiently, their usage is totally different. The sanitary pads need to be attached to your panty and simply pulled up and tampons are to be inserted right into your vagina. This insertion often scares many women away which is the reason they often gravitate towards sanitary napkins as opposed to tampons. However, tampons are also very comfortable and can soak up longer hours of menstrual flow.
To use a tampon the correct way, all you have to do is either squat or put one of your feet on top of a stool and then insert the tampon carefully inside. Remember to leave the string outside so that you can easily pull the tampon out whenever required. Besides, the tampon brands today have also introduced some unique easy to use applicators which make the entire insertion much easier, hassle free and hygienic. Therefore, if you are someone wanting to try out tampons, you should totally go ahead. The price of these tampons are also very affordable and therefore will fit into all budgets. You can easily find them in both online and offline stores.
The top two variants of tampons available in the market today are -
-
Regular Tampons - The regular tampons are meant to be used when you have a light to regular flow.
-
Super Tampons - The super variant is for your heavy flow days. These tampons are equipped with qualities in them which help in soaking up hours of heavy flow. They are manufactured with a finger sized absorbent core which helps in giving an exceptional absorption capacity.
Both these variants come with an easy to use applicator with each piece which helps with an easier insertion of the tampon every time.
Antibacterial PadsThere are many women out there who are prone to catching germs or infections easily during periods. Therefore, brands have introduced products such as antibacterial pads which help in keeping you protected even during your heavy flow days. These napkins are manufactured with a unique green sheet on top which is made with all natural ingredients and can give 99.9% protection from bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus and Candida Albicans. These napkins can also give a very long lasting hygiene and soak up several hours of menstrual flow. Therefore, you can totally use these napkins when you have a long day coming such as at work, social engagements, travel and so on.
But, it is still important that you keep changing into fresh napkins every three to four hours or less. So, it is recommended that you always carry some extras whenever you step out of the house. Just like the tampons price, the price of these napkins is also very affordable and will fit into all budgets.
Overnight NapkinsMany women experience sleepless nights during periods which is the result of a number of reasons. Most women need to keep waking up every few hours in order to change into fresh napkins at night especially during heavy flow. Therefore, brands have introduced napkins which are meant to give maximum coverage at night. These are very heavy duty pads which help in soaking up the entire night’s blood flow very efficiently.
These napkins are created with qualities in them such as a wider hip guard which helps in covering your panty entirely from the back so that the blood drips right on top of the napkin and not anywhere else. Their flexi absorb system makes the napkin move along with your body so that you can switch sides in your sleep without having to wake up to a stained bed. Their deep absorbent core helps in soaking up the menstrual flow from night till morning. Just like the super tampons for heavy periods, you can totally use these napkins during your heavy flow at night.
