Daily pads...hygienic, breathable...

As the all-knowing Wikipedia says, during the First World War, to absorb the blood of wounded soldiers, bandages using cellucotton technology (a mixture of cellulose and cotton) began to be used. The mixture turned out to be very effective, and who would you have thought began to use this invention for its own purposes? Nurses quickly began to use them to absorb menstrual blood.

That's how reusable, disposable, thin, thick, with and without wings, in different shapes, colors and with different aromaspads appeared. At the moment, there is a large selection.They consist of an external absorbent material and an internal (pseudo-breathable) material that sticks to theunderwear.

Should I use it every day?

- No! This is not an item for daily use! You can use them in case of need(menstruation should start or end and it is a pity to soil pretty panties, then - yes), but then follow rules of hygiene - change every 2-3 hours.Otherwise, there is a risk that daily pads will turn from a hygienic product into a farm of pathogenic flora.Thishappensbecauseall "animals" that inhabit the skin and mucous membrane of the anogenital zone (there are many of them in a healthy person)will begin multiply.Due to the fact that there is heat and moisture, they will begin to actively multiply and cause: bacterial vaginosis, thrush in a perfectly healthy woman.

The next nuisance is allergy, which is also a fairly common phenomenon, taking into account the range of dyes and flavors added to daily pads. And contact dermatitis.

Therefore, this item is not suitable for daily use. And one more thing, "they don't breathe"( remember anatomy?).Yes? They have glue on the bottom, which clearly does not "breathe". Therefore, draw your own conclusions... Are these tools really good or are they just some kind of successful marketing ploy.
