Maternal sanitary napkins are different from ordinary sanitary napkins and are specially designed for expectant mothers after giving birth. Postpartum mothers' bodies are said to be sensitive, and they need to pay special attention to the use of these personal products, especially maternal sanitary napkins. Therefore, mothers still need to prepare some maternal sanitary napkins during the process of giving birth, but it is best to consider their physical conditions and consult a doctor for advice.
To avoid panic caused by sudden labor pains, mothers should prepare sanitary napkins after 28 weeks of pregnancy. Maternal sanitary napkins can be used not only after delivery, but also during the period of delivery. The use time spans from the first postpartum period to the entire puerperium period. After a pregnant mother gives birth, as the endometrium, especially the endometrium where the placenta is attached, sheds, the mucus secreted by the uterus also flows out of the vagina, which is what we call lochia. The amount of lochia is larger than that during the normal menstrual period. The amount of menstrual flow produced is much greater, and the duration of lochia varies from person to person, with an average of about 21 days, ranging from 14 days to 6 weeks. Moreover, the postpartum vaginal area has wounds. Many pregnant mothers think that ordinary sanitary napkins can be used at the delivery site. However, in fact, ordinary sanitary napkins cannot completely absorb lochia, and ordinary sanitary napkins contain adhesives, which can easily cause Skin allergies, itching, damage, etc. In addition, in order to make the product appear white, whitening agents or fluorescent dyes are often used, which can also easily cause allergies, aggravate pain, and increase maternal infection rates.
Model classification of maternal sanitary napkins
There are three models of large, medium and small developed and designed based on the physiological characteristics of pregnant women, that is, L, M, and S. They help mothers to easily cope with the three stages of lochia, but there are some hygienic requirements. The towel is also designed in Mini style, mainly to deal with lochia after 10 days postpartum. The size of the sanitary napkin has nothing to do with body fat or thinness. The three models are convenient for dealing with different amounts of lochia at different times.
Size L maternal sanitary napkins are usually used for 2-3 days after delivery. Because 2-3 days after delivery is the period when the amount of lochia is the largest, using size L can prevent the largest amount of lochia. And it should be noted that when taking care of the first postpartum baby, size L sanitary napkins and size M sanitary napkins should be used together. When it is necessary to replace, generally only the size M sanitary napkin above size L needs to be replaced. First, it is convenient to deal with lochia, and second, it is convenient for medical staff to observe the amount of lochia.
Size M sanitary napkins are used for 4-8 days after delivery. At this time, the amount of bleeding begins to decrease and the color begins to fade. You can use M size maternal sanitary napkins alone.
Size S is suitable for about 10 days after delivery or more than 3 weeks after delivery. The lochia at this time contains almost no blood, and the amount begins to decrease. You can handle it with S size or mini size. How to use maternity sanitary napkins correctly
Although maternity sanitary napkins do not look very different from ordinary sanitary napkins, you still need to pay attention to the difference from ordinary sanitary napkins when using them. After all, the body of expectant mothers after childbirth is It is very different from the usual physical state. Sensitive skin is easily susceptible to bacterial infection, which can lead to allergies and other phenomena, so you must use it correctly when using maternal sanitary napkins.
Generally speaking, maternal sanitary napkins are used together with puerperal sanitary trousers. During use, mothers should be diligent in replacing maternal sanitary napkins to keep them dry and reduce the risk of pregnancy. Growth of bacteria. Because the mother's physical strength decreases after childbirth and her resistance is weak, it is very necessary to use clean and safe sanitary napkins at this time. Postpartum skin will be highly sensitive and can easily become infected if not properly cared for. Moreover, the sanitary napkins used by mothers should be relatively soft, because mothers have wounds on their bodies after giving birth. If the sanitary napkins are of poor quality, they will also have an impact on the wounds. For some mothers who have had a natural birth, doctors may not recommend using maternal sanitary napkins, because natural birth will cause side incisions, and the lack of breathability will affect wound healing. Therefore, mothers should consult their own opinions to determine whether they can use maternal sanitary napkins.
