Heath: Effectively avoiding infection during the postpartum period.
What is the difference between maternity pads and ordinary sanitary pads? The common pad is made from chemical fibers and contains chemistry such as adhesives and fluorescent whitening agents, extremely unsuitable for highly sensitive skins of new moms, for their skins are prone to be irritated, resulting in any number of infections. Besides, common sanitary napkins have mediocre absorption of water, prone to side leakage and retrogradation, so that common ones cannot work well when new moms experience postpartum bleeding, called lochia. During use, the surface of sanitary pads is damp and stuffy, and the wet and sticky surface makes new moms feel uncomfortable. Also, lochia contains nutrients suitable for bacterial growth, which is very unfavorable for the wound healing of new moms. From this content, it can be seen that ordinary pads are not suitable for new moms.
Although having used the sanitary napkin, many women are still not familiar with some knowledge about it. To improve the waterproof performance of most sanitary napkins, the laminate thickness is increased. Those sanitary napkins are not the ideal choice for women after delivery because of their high waterproof performance and poor air permeability and moisture permeability, which will cause heat rash, itching, etc. It is particularly noteworthy that many sanitary napkins are not specially sterilized, and cannot meet the hygienic standard of complete sterility.
It can be seen that using ordinary sanitary napkins is not conducive to the physical health of women following birth. Therefore, it is necessary for new moms to select maternity pads.
Comfort: Minimizing the pain of new moms.
The vaginal area can feel painful after childbirth, and the pain will intensify if ordinary sanitary napkins are used at this time. Common sanitary towels are made from chemical fibers and contain chemical components and many impurities, so that they are prone to gigging, have a large friction coefficient and are likely to generate static electricity, which is very easy to irritate the wounds of new moms and increase their pain. The survey found that about one week after delivery, 50-80 percent of women suffer from depression, and one of the important reasons for depression is that the postpartum wound is too painful.
During the postpartum period, in addition to manage postpartum bleeding lasting for four to six weeks, the new mom should also shoulder the responsibility of caring for the baby. The changes of hormones in the body and the panic during childbirth affect the physical and mental health of new moms. Using the maternity pad can relieve their pain and make them comfortable.
Through the understanding of the above content, can you understand why new moms must use maternity pads instead of the common sanitary napkins?
