Which is better, tampons or sanitary napkins

Which one is better, tampons or sanitary napkins?

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.

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.

The above is a detailed introduction to you which one is better, tampons or sanitary napkins. In fact, sanitary napkins are more suitable for teenagers, because tampons themselves will directly press on the vaginal wall, and if you are not careful, it will cause ulcers in your vagina.
