Menstrual hygiene is of utmost importance for all women as menstruation is one of the most important processes that requires complete care. Women often tend to ignore this that results in more discomfort and pain
Menstrual Hygiene Day is on 28th May and we urge you to take care of yourself and follow these very basic menstrual hygiene tips.
Always Use Sanitary Napkins or Tampons or Menstrual Cups
Do not use cloth or cotton during your periods as it might lead to an infection. Choose one of the products like sanitary pads, tampons or menstrual cups. Do not experiment with all the products simultaneously.
Change Sanitary Pads /Tampons Regularly
Keeping yourself clean is the key to menstrual hygiene. Make sure to change your sanitary napkins after every 4-6 hours. Using the same pad for long may result in irritation, infection or even UTI. So it is best to keep yourself safe from these by changing regularly
A Good Wash Is a Must
If possible take a bath maybe twice a day under the shower and wash the vaginal area properly. Just wash the area with a good amount of water to remove all the harmful bacteria and organisms from your vagina.
Do Not Use any Vaginal wash or Soap
Avoid using any vaginal washes, natural intimate wash or soaps during your periods as they can cause infections. Vaginas can clean themselves during menstruation with the help of water and no use of a hygiene wash is required.
Use Clean Undergarments and Clothes
Make sure you always use clean undergarments to avoid getting infected. If possible change them at least twice a day to feel fresh and comfortable
Dispose of the Sanitary Product Properly
A key step to menstrual hygiene is to discard you sanitary napkins or tampons properly. Make sure that you do not flush them as they may clog the sewage pipes and drains. Always wrap them properly and throw them in the designated bin to avoid the spread of harmful bacteria. Do not forget to clean your hands after you dispose of.
Eat Well
Have a balanced and nutritious diet especially during your periods. Keep yourself well hydrated by drinking at least 4- 6 liters of water
