What is the difference between maternity sanitary napkins and ordinary sanitary napkins?

If the mother gives birth naturally, she will feel pain and sensitivity because the private muscles are greatly stretched during the delivery process. Due to traditional customs, mothers rarely take a bath during the confinement period. In addition, the private parts are dirty and require the use of sanitary napkins for a long time, which makes it more susceptible to bacterial infection. Therefore, it is best for mothers to use special sanitary napkins to help avoid gynecological diseases.

The difference between maternity sanitary napkins and ordinary sanitary napkins

Many people don’t know that the wounds left after childbirth are sensitive and prone to pain. Coupled with the discharge of lochia, they are more susceptible to infection. In addition, the wound of the mother is very sensitive. If the sanitary napkin is not breathable, it is easy to cause wound infection. Many expectant mothers buy ordinary extended-length sanitary napkins without knowing the difference, thinking that they can cope with excessive lochia. However, this is not the case. In addition to the difference in absorption, maternity sanitary napkins and ordinary sanitary napkins also differ in many other aspects. Therefore, it is generally recommended that mothers use special sanitary napkins to achieve better results.

Ordinary sanitary napkins are designed for ordinary women and are made of general synthetic fibers. They are prone to linting, have a high coefficient of friction, are easy to fall off, and are prone to generating static electricity. They can easily irritate the sensitive wounds of the parturient and increase the pain of the parturient. In addition, ordinary sanitary napkins have poor water absorption, are prone to side leakage and backflow, and cannot cope with large amounts of lochia. Ordinary sanitary napkins have poor breathability and are lacking in bactericidal effects, making them prone to bacterial infections in pregnant women.

Relatively speaking, maternal sanitary napkins are wider than ordinary sanitary napkins and can absorb more lochia or secretions. In addition, sanitary napkins for postpartum women are relatively soft and breathable. What is very important is that sanitary napkins for postpartum women have bactericidal effects and can avoid infection.

Are maternity sanitary napkins useful?

1. Maternal sanitary napkins have been professionally sterilized. Maternity sanitary napkins have undergone strict quality testing to ensure they are sterile and each sanitary napkin has a uniform weight. Because improper use of postpartum sanitary napkins can easily cause reproductive tract infections, high-quality professional sanitary napkins for postpartum women must be used.

2. The material of maternity sanitary napkins is relatively soft. Special sanitary napkins for postpartum women are developed for the special physiological state of postpartum women, and the needs of postpartum women are fully taken into consideration in terms of materials and design. Maternity sanitary napkins are softer and more breathable, more suitable for the sensitive period of postpartum women, and also have a certain protective effect on wounds.

3. Maternal sanitary napkins have good absorbency. Special sanitary napkins for postpartum women are used to absorb lochia. The amount of lochia during the confinement period is usually relatively large, especially in the first three days. It is necessary to use large-sized maternal sanitary napkins to prevent "side leakage".

4. Maternal sanitary napkins have good breathability. Because mothers have wounds after delivery, they need to pay special attention to breathability. If the breathability is poor, it will cause bacteria to grow and wound infection. However, some mothers who gave birth naturally said that it is not recommended to use sanitary napkins during natural childbirth, because natural childbirth will cause episiotomy, and the lack of air permeability will affect wound healing.
