What is the difference between tampons and sanitary napkins?

Tampons and sanitary napkins are both very private things for women. Their invention has brought great help to women's hygiene and health. In our daily life, women cannot do without such items. We all know that tampons and sanitary napkins are products used by women during their menstrual period, but they have certain differences in appearance and usage. So do you know what is the difference between tampons and sanitary napkins?

1. Sanitary napkin: It is attached inside the underwear. When the cotton pad absorbs more blood, it must be replaced. It is very convenient to use and feels safe, so most Taiwanese women like to use sanitary napkins. However, when the weather is hot and humid, the menstrual blood will not only easily emit an odor, 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.

2. Tampon: When using, insert the tampon into the vagina. It 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. However, 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.

What is the difference between tampons and sanitary napkins? After reading the introduction above, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of these two things, and also knows that their biggest difference is that one is external and the other is built-in. They have their own advantages and disadvantages, but both have many benefits for people's health. However, people should not make blind choices when choosing private products. They should decide based on their actual situation. This will be responsible for their own hygiene and health.
