It is best to never buy manual or non -originated hygiene tapes and ingredients.Especially those are produced by soaking herbs, chemicals and drying without being tested.Dr. Wei further reminded that products that are introduced to relieve dysmenorrhea, anti -inflammatory should not be too believed or abused.
Direct exposure to compounds, chemicals is not guaranteed to irritate the skin, vaginitis or even vulva.The process of manual and small production is also often not hygienic.In the days of red light, women's natural immunity decreases, easier to be invaded by bacteria, more inflammation.
2. The type has a strong cooling effect
Many women prefer to use tampons to be introduced to bring the feeling of cooling the private area because of the feeling of less discomfort and cleaner.But the advice of Dr. Wei is that the stronger the cooling ability, the more it should not be used.
Because the components create a cool feeling is usually menthol or peppermint essence.Large amounts can cause sensitive skin irritation, especially in the genital area or increase the feeling of dysmenorrhea.The feeling of coolness is too strong sometimes makes users not recognize signs of itching or early infection, resulting in a worse condition.Moreover, long -term contact with chemicals can imbalance the vaginal and inflammatory environment.

Recycled pulp can also contain chemical residues such as chlorine or dioxin very high.The recycling process also reduces the ability to absorb, easily and rough surfaces causing discomfort, even and the foreign object.Long -term use is not only harmful to the genital area, the genital organs but also the overall health.
