6 Types of Sanitary Napkin: Know Your Options

 

Tampons
Tampons are one of the best-known types of menstrual products. Made of cotton, rayon, or a blend of the two, tampons are disposable products with a cylindrical shape. You may insert tampons into your vagina with a cardboard or plastic applicator—or by using your fingers.
There is a range of tampons on the market—including light to heavy flow—or scented and unscented options. You may also buy tampons made from organic cotton.
If your body tolerates tampons well, you won't be able to feel them. You can take part in normal activities while wearing on, like swimming or team sports, and tampons are easy and convenient to transport.
The biggest downside of tampons is the potential for toxic shock syndrome, which has the potential to be life-threatening. But you may avoid trouble with less absorbent tampons—and by changing them more frequently. According to the Food and Drug Administration, you should change your tampon every four to eight hours.

 

Sanitary napkin
Sanitary napkin—a.k.a. sanitary napkins, menstrual pads, panty liners, or pads—are the most popular type of menstrual product. Made with natural or synthetic fibers, this disposable product may be cotton or rayon. Sanitary pads also come in a variety of thicknesses, depending on your flow.
You may wear a sanitary pad externally—stuck to the inside of your underwear—which is a big difference from tampons. One major benefit: you don't have to worry about getting toxic shock syndrome, which makes them a great alternative to tampons.
If you have a heavier period, you may feel more comfortable wearing a sanitary pad—and some folks may wear one as a back-up for tampons on heavier period days. Sanitary pads may also be a good option if tampons may cause irritation or dryness.

 

Menstrual cups
If you're looking for ways to save money and to create less waste, you may want to try a menstrual cup. So, what is a menstrual cup? Made of silicone, latex, rubber, or elastomer—menstrual cups may be reusable—and come in a variety of sizes.
The biggest advantage of a reusable menstrual cup is it may last for up to ten years. You can wear a menstrual cup for up to twelve hours—and it won't stop you from any normal activities.

 

Period underwear
Another reusable option to consider is period underwear—a.k.a. period panties or menstrual underwear. What are period panties? These garments are different from regular underwear because they have multiple layers. This makes period underwear more absorbent than conventional tampons or sanitary napkin. Some folks use them as back-up period protection—particularly at night.

 

Reusable cloth pads
A third wallet and eco-friendly option—reusable cloth pads—may also be worth a look. Reusable cloth pads, which usually come in two pieces, work like disposable sanitary pads. The biggest difference is you can wash and use them again.
The biggest pro of reusable cloth pads is the ability to save money over time. You may also create a lot less waste, as you need to change disposable sanitary pads every few hours. Reusable cloth pads may also be less bulky than disposable pads. This could make them more flexible, breathable, and less visible through clothing.

 

Menstrual disks
Menstrual discs are round, flexible rings that sit at the base of your cervix and collect blood in a soft bag. Made of medical-grade polymer, you may insert a menstrual disc with your fingers—and it will mold to your shape. You may wear this single-use period product for up to twelve hours.
One of the biggest perks of a menstrual disc is you may have penetrative sexual intercourse while wearing one. This is a big difference from a menstrual cup—which you must remove before engaging in the same activity.
Menstrual discs are also less likely to slip, like a disposable or reusable sanitary pad. This makes it a better option for high-impact exercise.

 

How To Dispose Sanitary Napkin At Home

 

 

Warp the pad

When you are about to change, untick the sanitary napkin from your underwear and wrap it either in tissue paper, newspaper, or the wrapper of your next pad. Some pads even come with sanitary disposable bags.

 

Use a dedicated bin

After wrapping, throw it in a bin or a designated sanitary disposable bin. If you dont have one then use can use the regular dustbin to throw it in. But make sure the bin is secured with a lid to maintain hygiene and contain the odour.

 

Do not flush

Never flush your sanitary napkin down the toilet as it can clog it and cause some serious plumbing issues. Always make sure that you dispose of your pads while throwing them in a bin, whether you are at home or any other place.

 

 

What Are Sanitary Napkin Made Of?

Topsheet and secondary topsheet
Soft top layer and secondary layer made of synthetic materials similar to those used in garments and in underwear. These synthetic materials are used to quickly channel the liquids into the absorbent core and keep your skin dry.

 

Absorbent core
Flexible core made from absorbent cellulose. In a different thinner form, this material is used in different items such as tea bags & everyday garments. This absorbent material has been used in sanitary napkin since 1920s. The flexible core is wrapped in a thin synthetic layer to keep it together with absorbent gel pearls added to the core, to improve the absorbency.

Odour Neutralizing Technology

Our Odour Neutralizing Technology is an exclusive material that contains selected components with a light scent similar to perfume. It is applied to the bottom of the absorbent core layer; thus optimized to mask and neutralize malodour in sanitary napkin.

Backsheet

Moisture proof back layer made from synthetic materials to keep the fluid inside.

Adhesives

Adhesive is used to ensure the pad adheres to panty.

 

Sanitary Napkin Manufacturing Process: A Step By Step Complete Guide
 

Raw material collection
The first step in the manufacturing process is the collection of raw materials. The raw materials used in the production of disposable sanitary napkins include cellulose pulp, rayon, cotton, and a combination of these materials. Moreover, adhesives and dyes are also required. To increase the absorptive capacity of pads, SAP (super absorbent polymer) is also added. This polymer can absorb large amounts of fluid and helps to keep the napkin dry for a longer period of time.
For organic sanitary napkin pure cotton, bamboo fiber, banana fiber, and other natural fibers are used. These materials are sourced from suppliers and stored in the factory until they are needed. To make sure that these materials meet quality standards, they are typically tested by the quality control team before being used in production.

 

Fluff formation
The next step in the production process is fluff forming. The cellulose pulp is inserted into a machine where knives spinning at 3000 rpm shared the pulp into fine fluff. This fluff is mixed with the SAP powder in the desired ratio to increase the absorption capacity of the fluff. Fine fluff is also responsible for the comfort and good feeling on the skin. Besides adding SAP powder to the fluff, some manufacturers also add strips of SAP paper inside the absorbent core to enhance the efficiency of the menstrual pads.

 

Core building
The third step is the core building of the sanitary napkin. The fine fluff mixed with SAP powder from the previous step is fed into a machine known as a core former. This machine shapes the layers of pads. Once the layers of the pad are shaped, the SAP paper strip is sandwiched between these layers in order to make the absorbent core more efficient. Moreover, the SAP paper strip helps to evenly distribute fluid throughout the core and prevents leaks.
After the absorbent core is made, it is fed into another machine. This machine covers the absorbent core with a layer of cotton or rayon fabric. This helps to make the absorbent core more durable and prevents it from tearing easily.

 

Top sheet making
The next step in production is top sheet making. The top sheet is the layer of fabric that comes into direct contact with the body. It is generally made from a soft material such as cotton or rayon to provide comfort to the user. The top sheet is also perforated to allow fluid to pass through it and be absorbed by the absorbent core.
The sanitary napkin can be winged or wingless depending upon the design. The wings are generally made from a soft and comfortable fabric. They have adhesive material which helps to keep the napkin attached in the proper place. They help to keep the pad in place and prevent it from shifting during use.

 

Lamination
Once the top sheet is made, the outer layer that comes in contact with clothes is laminated with a layer of plastic or polyethylene. This helps to prevent fluid from leaking out of the sanitary napkin and from staining the clothes.

 

Wrapping and packing
The last step in the manufacturing process is wrapping and packing. In this step, the pads are wrapped in individual wrappers and then packed in boxes or packs. The individual wrapping helps to keep the pads clean and hygienic. The packing of napkins can be of different types i.e. striping pack and wrap easy packing. The wrapped and packed napkins are then sent to the stores where they are sold to the customers.
So these are the steps involved in the manufacturing process of a sanitary napkin. By following these steps, different types of the sanitary napkin can be manufactured such as winged pads, panty liners, thin pad, ultra-thin pad, etc. Now let’s move on to the quality control measures that are taken to ensure the quality of these hygiene products.

 

How To Choose Sanitary Napkin
 

 

Select a sanitary napkin based on your flow. Go for regular pads for moderate flow, maxi for heavy flow, and ultra-thin for light flow.

You can pick pads based on their lengths, especially for overnight use.

You can pick between wings or no wings. Typically, wings help in keeping the pads in place and prevent leakage

Some pads are made with breathable materials, while others may have a softer top layer. Choose what makes you feel comfortable.

You can choose between disposable or reusable pads. Sanitary napkinare generally made from washable material and can be used again, whereas, disposable ones can only be used once.

Asked Questions

 

Q: What are the rules for sanitary napkin?

A: As a thumb rule, sanitary napkin should never be flushed down the toilet because it may clog the drainage system and lead to flooding of the toilet. After use, a disposable sanitary napkin or a tampon should be wrapped in a newspaper or toilet paper and put in a garbage bin.

Q: What happens if you don't change your sanitary napkin for 12 hours?

A: Trapped moisture provides a breeding ground for bacteria and fungus, and wearing a pad for too long can lead to an infection, including a yeast infection. A damp pad and friction can also cause irritation or the dreaded pad rash and make you more susceptible to infection.

Q: Why girls need to replace their sanitary napkin every 3 to 4 hours of used?

A: Changing your pad every 3 or 4 hours (more if your period is heavy) is good hygiene and helps prevent bad odors. This is especially true if you'll be playing sports or rushing around from class to class. Changing pads often also helps prevent accidental leaks.

Q: How many hours can you wear a sanitary napkin?

A: Pads should be changed every 3–4 hours, even if you have a light flow. Regular changing prevents buildup of bacteria and stops odor. If you have a heavier flow, you might need to change pads more often to make sure you don't leak. There are two types of pads that do the same job, but are used a little bit differently.

Q: What happens if you wear the same sanitary napkin for 12 hours?

A: If you do not change your sanitary napkin frequently (at least every 6-8 hours), you are much more prone to develop rashes and vaginal yeast infections with the side effect of bad odour. No matter how light your flow is, it's always safe to change your pad.

Q: Can sanitary napkin hold pee?

A: Sanitary napkin are not equipped with enough absorptive material to securely hold this much liquid. 3. You are much more likely to experience an oversaturated, leaky liner or pad if you are using a product that is designed to hold menstrual blood rather than a product designed to hold urine.

Q: Should I change my sanitary napkin every time I pee?

A: Sanitary napkin should be changed every 4-6 hours, or as soon as possible after they are wet or soiled. Don't re-use wet pads, as they are likely to deteriorate more quickly and leak. Most people use 4-6 pads a day.

Q: How many sanitary napkin is normal for a period per day?

A: For those not on hormonal birth control, the typical volume of menstrual flow is about 30 to 40 millilitres over the entire period, though this can vary. Generally, it's considered normal to use about three to six sanitary napkin or tampons per day during the heaviest days of a period.

Q: Can you get TSS from wearing a sanitary napkin too long?

A: The majority of cases of TSS occur in women during menstruation, mostly associated with tampon use. There is no evidence that tampons directly cause TSS – the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus are the cause of the illness – not the tampon. This explains why women using sanitary napkin, men and children can get TSS.

Q: Can sanitary napkin cause UTI?

A: One common infection that women face is Urinary Tract Infections or UTIs. Sanitary napkin and pantyliners are another set of products and possible culprits of these infections, in addition to rashes, odor, and general discomfort, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the use of the products in the first place!

Q: Can wearing a sanitary napkin everyday cause problems?

A: Skin can react to the materials in the sanitary napkin, resulting in pad rash. Friction, excessive moisture, or not changing the pad frequently enough can also cause vulva irritation. In some cases, a person may develop or already have an underlying infection that causes a rash to appear on the skin.

Q: Can you wear a diaper on your period?

A: Yes it is there's nothing wrong with wearing diapers during your menstrual period. Plus diapers hold more than menstrual sanitary napkin. You can wear diapers longer than using menstrual sanitary napkin. Diapers are also easier to change specifically if you're wearing a pullup diaper.

Q: Do you remove sanitary napkin when peeing?

A: Typically, it's perfectly safe to pee with a sanitary napkin in. Urine comes from the bladder, while menstrual blood comes from the uterus and flows through the cervix before exiting your body. However, you should avoid using tampons while you have a urinary tract infection–or if you think you might have one.

Q: Is it normal to fill a pad in 2 hours?

A: If you need to change your tampon or pad after less than 2 hours or you pass clots the size of a quarter or larger, that is heavy bleeding. If you have this type of bleeding, you should see a doctor. Untreated heavy or prolonged bleeding can stop you from living your life to the fullest. It also can cause anemia.

Q: Why is there no blood on my sanitary napkin but blood when I wipe?

A: Why is there no blood on my sanitary napkin but blood when I wipe? Lighter periods can cause blood to appear when you wipe but have not absorbed into the pad yet. Spotting between periods can be the result of perimenopause, pregnancy, ovulation, stress, sudden weight loss, birth control, smoking, or certain conditions.

Q: Can sanitary napkin irritate your urethra?

A: Bubblebaths, perfumed soap, deodorant sprays, baby wipes and wet pants or sanitary napkin may also irritate the urethra.

Q: Can wearing a sanitary napkin cause yeast infection?

A: "Yeast breeds in high-moisture environments, and sanitary napkin and tampons can keep excess moisture around, allowing yeast to grow," says , MD, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Q: When should I stop wearing my sanitary napkin?

A: No matter how heavy your flow is though, you should change your sanitary napkin at least every 3 or 4 hours so you don't end up with an odor from bacteria that can grow in the blood. Yuck! As often as you need to. The truth is, the length of time you can wear a sanitary napkin really depends on how heavy your flow is.

Q: Why does only one side of my tampon get bloody?

A: Rest assured, you're not bleeding from one side! The reason why half of your sanitary napkin is soiled may be due to sheer coincidence, or it may be due to changing your tampon too often.

Q: What is the maximum time you should wear a sanitary napkin?

A: Changing your sanitary napkin every 3 or 4 hours (more if your period is heavy) is good hygiene and helps prevent bad odors. This is especially true if you'll be playing sports or rushing around from class to class.
