Be careful with your sanitary habits

Women have a number of options to choose from these days from tampons, sanitary napkins to menstrual cups of all ranges. You can try and stick to a brand that suits your needs rather than switching quite frequently between options. Every brand is unique and caters to each woman who has unique demands.

 

Change your preferred method of sanitation regularly

A lot us use just a single pad the whole day. Every sanitary pad must be changed in every 6 hour and tampons every two hours. You need to understand your body and its flow. Failing to do this will spread infections ad rashes and lead to Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). Even on days when you don’t bleed much, change your pads since your body sweat and vaginal organisms can breed microorganisms.
