If you want to know what kinds of sanitary napkins are suitable for the puerpera, you should first know some of their physiological characteristics. Their highly sensitive skins are easily stimulated and cause infections. Therefore, ordinary
sanitary napkins with a large number of chemical agents are extremely unsuitable for puerperae.
In addition, lochia discharged by the puerpera also contain nutrients suitable for rapid growth of bacteria. Ordinary sanitary pads can't have better water absorption, and easily cause side leakage and back-flow, so that they can't be the ideal choice for puerperae with a large number of lochia. The direct harm of those sanitary pads is that they are intensely unfavorable for the healing of puerperae's wounds (the surface of the wounds will be damp and stuffy, making puerperae feel uncomfortable). Thus, it is necessary to select a sanitary napkin that is really suitable for women after delivery.
And using common sanitary pads is one of the reason for postpartum depression. If special sanitary napkins for puerperae are not available in the hospital, it is suggested to use high-quality ones during lochia lasting 2-4 weeks, minimizing the pain of women after delivery.
The perineum pain and swelling can't be avoidable, and if lateral episiotomy is adopted during childbirth, the wound will become more painful. Besides, the changes of hormones in the body and the panic during childbirth make puerperae unstable physiology and psychology states. These can be alleviated by choosing a good and comfortable sanitary napkin.
In a word, don't buy the ordinary sanitary towel made from chemical fibers, adhesives, fluorescent brighteners and other chemical components but select the special one for the puerpera.
