In the modern world, there is a wide variety of individual products for use. during menstruation... In this article, you will find out which is better to use: tampons or pads.

The harm of tampons

If we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of tampons, then, most likely, there will be too few advantages, in contrast to the disadvantages. Using tampons is:

• Convenience - they are small, they do not take up much space in any, even the smallest handbag.
• Comfort - easy to insert inward, very comfortable when swimming, walking, running.
• Cleanliness - there is no smell or leakage from them.
• They are invisible if you have dress, tight trousers or skirt.

What is the harm from this remedy?

• Timely tampon change - be sure to change a tampon every few hours, otherwise bacteria will begin to form in the secretions, after which they will move to the genitals and urinary organs. This can lead to many unpleasant illnesses.
• Another disadvantage may be that not everyone succeeds in inserting the tampon correctly the first time.
• Some women experience discomfort when inserting and wearing tampons.
• If a tampon is used incorrectly, or if it is not replaced in a timely manner, then toxic shock syndrome (caused by toxins inside the human body) may occur. True, it should be clarified that it can occur regardless of what you use for protection.
• The downside can also be called short-term using. For example, it is advisable to wake up at night to change a tampon. Or insert it right before bed and change it as soon as you wake up.
• In addition, it is necessary to carefully select the type of tampons specifically for your body (the degree of absorption). If you choose a high absorption rate and the discharge is not too heavy, you may experience vaginal dryness.
• Since tampons are inside the body, you can forget about them.

Harm of gaskets

Due to the fact that many do not immediately manage to insert the tampons correctly, they prefer to use pads. The pads are on the outside, attached to the underwear. In fact, they have quite a few disadvantages.

• First of all, you should know that using pads must be washed every time before changing! Due to the fact that the pads are on the outside, the discharge also turns out to be outside, while staining the genitals (especially if pubic hairs are present).
• Pads, even the smallest and narrowest ones, can wrinkle and stand out through clothing when walking, which is rather ugly and unpleasant.
• They are in many ways uncomfortable, a woman feels discomfort and discomfort during movements, or while in a sitting, lying position.
• Many female representatives have allergic reactions from pads: irritation, itching, discomfort.
• If you do not change the remedy in time, the bacteria will begin to multiply, which can lead to cystitis, thrush (symptoms in this case: inflammation, itching, increased temperature body regime, pain, nausea). Not to mention the unpleasant odor that will come from a gasket that has not been changed in time. Allergies can be caused by granules inside the pad, the top layer of the pad, or fragrances and dyes (if the pads are colored and odorless).
• Despite all the advertisements of the advertisement, the gaskets do not breathe! During wear, a greenhouse effect is created due to the lower layer of the product. Therefore, all bacteria can easily penetrate into the slightly opened cervix, as well as into the appendages.
• The downside is that when using pads, it is impossible to lead an active lifestyle (uncomfortable sensations), swim in the pool, sea etc.
• Due to the fact that the gaskets are large, they are inconvenient to carry with you, however, some manufacturers make special cases for the gaskets so that they do not wrinkle.
• Also, experts do not recommend using pads while sleeping at night. Firstly, long-term use of one gasket, and secondly, it can wrinkle and simply "leak".
