Which is better, tampons or sanitary napkins?

Generally speaking, sanitary napkins are the most commonly used menstrual products for female friends on the market, while tampons are rarely used in China, because Chinese female friends are already accustomed to using sanitary napkins. In fact, tampons are widely used in European and American countries, and are loved by many female friends. So, which one is better, tampons or sanitary napkins? Let's find out together below.

1. Sanitary napkins Advantages: Sanitary napkins are attached to the inside of underwear. When the pad absorbs more blood, it must be replaced. It is very convenient to use and feels safe, so most women in China like to use sanitary napkins.

Disadvantages: However, when the weather is hot and humid, the menstrual blood will seep out and not only easily emit a peculiar smell, but it is also easy for the genitals to be infected with Candida albicans, resulting in genital itching, so sanitary napkins need to be changed frequently when used. Experts remind: Try to choose products from reputable manufacturers in large shopping malls, and carefully check the health license number, anti-counterfeiting mark, and shelf life on the outer packaging.

2. Advantages of tampons: When using tampons, insert the tampon into the vagina, which has the effect of strongly absorbing menstrual blood. Using tampons will not affect your clothing and is more convenient for movement and exercise, so they are more commonly used by European and American women.

Disadvantages: Tampons are not suitable for girls who have no sexual experience and whose hymen is still intact. In addition, because tampons press on the vaginal wall, they can sometimes cause ulcers in the vaginal wall. There have also been reports abroad of horrific cases where the use of tampons caused a large number of Staphylococcus aureus to multiply in the vagina, resulting in symptoms such as sore throat, fever, joint and muscle pain, low blood pressure, and even shock.

From this, we can see that after reading the detailed explanation of the differences between tampons and sanitary napkins, I believe everyone should now have a clear understanding that both tampons and sanitary napkins have their advantages and disadvantages. I hope that many female friends will choose according to their preferences and physical conditions, and also pay attention to hygiene habits during menstruation.
