From roughness to refinement, from helplessness to autonomy, from inferiority to pride, from restraint to freedom, sanitary pads tell the cycle and story of women.

This is thanks to the American female nurses who served in France during World War I, these women dressed in light white clothes were pioneers of modern professional women. Even during menstruation, they still need to maintain their elegance, agility, and competence, so they made a bold attempt at menstrual products: using bandages, medicine, and cotton to make the earliest sanitary napkins.

Afterwards, sanitary napkins quickly became a close friend of women. It is said that the first advertisement for disposable sanitary napkins was launched by an American bandage manufacturer.

In China, many women still remember the teenage days when sanitary pads were absent: the menstrual bands that could never be washed clean, the thick folded menstrual paper, there were always a few days every month, and they had to lie, sit, get up, and walk very, very carefully.

Understanding our "menstrual partners"

How to choose a sanitary napkin - this little-known detail is most likely to reveal a woman's elegance or roughness. A woman who is exquisite to the details and beautiful to the inner world should never try the following two methods:

1、 Grab a package from the supermarket shelf, throw it into the shopping cart, and leave without even looking good.

2、 From day 1 to day 5, use the same sanitary napkin day and night.

Be sure to choose your menstrual partner with a very delicate and even picky gaze.

Surface layer - the layer that is close to the skin, so it must be a material that can maintain dryness while maintaining softness and comfort.

In physics, there is a term called "backflow", such as a sponge that has absorbed water. When gently squeezed, water will flow out. The less "backflow" on the surface of sanitary napkins, the better, especially for night use sanitary napkins. In this way, when under pressure, the menstrual blood accumulated in the sanitary napkin is not squeezed out.

Absorbing layer - the main part that absorbs menstrual blood. The requirements for it are: strong permeability, large absorption capacity, but it is best not to be clumsy, thick, thin, and lightweight like a small cotton mat.

Leak proof layer - if it is simply to prevent leakage, ordinary plastic cloth is more than enough, but this is far from enough. We don't want the stuffy feeling of wearing a light raincoat, we want it to be breathable and always maintain a comfortable and fresh feeling.

8 wonderful ideas about sanitary napkins

The sanitary napkin itself is a brilliant idea, and since then, new ideas have been constantly emerging in this field:

1. The protective wings on both sides of the wrinkled sanitary napkin reduce the chance of menstrual bleeding by more than 90%. While it is good, we have also discovered a new problem: the protective wings stick to underwear and easily curl up. Easy to handle! Adding two more small wrinkles to the wing guard will solve it? It is fixed perfectly.

2. The fan-shaped tail is easy to handle during the day, but always anxious at night. It is impossible to control blood volume during the 7-8 hours of sleep, and it is also possible to change positions during sleep, resulting in various malfunctions. Many people are worried about this, even thinking about baby diapers until they find the "fan-shaped tail" night sanitary napkin. At first, the nighttime sanitary napkins were simply lengthened, but later on, a fan-shaped tail wing was introduced - the entire tail wing has absorption function, allowing you to turn left and right, and your menstrual blood will be securely caught without losing control.

3. The funnel-shaped design of the "dry mesh surface" has dense small holes on the surface. When enlarged, it appears to be a "funnel-shaped" shape with a large mouth and a small bottom. Blood flows in easily from top to bottom, but it is difficult to flow out from bottom to top, reducing backflow and protecting the skin from dampness.

4. The highly efficient absorbent particle AGM molecule, which is a highly specialized term, has become a familiar language to us. It is the design concept of "silk thin" sanitary napkins - compared to cotton products, this material has many times higher water absorption capacity but much smaller volume, making sanitary napkins thinner and lighter, no longer burdensome.

5. When you open a sanitary napkin with magical quick infiltration patterns, you will find cute small patterns on it, which is not just beautiful. The magical rapid infiltration pattern tightly connects the surface layer and absorption layer of sanitary napkins, allowing menstrual blood to quickly penetrate the surface and be absorbed by the absorption layer.

6. The most advanced leak proof layer currently uses breathable materials, which have small holes that are invisible to the naked eye. Water molecules are sealed, but gas can come and go freely. Someone conducted an experiment: using this material and ordinary plastic to make a glove, wearing it for a period of time, the plastic glove added a layer of white moisture, but the glove made of this material remained dry and transparent.

7. Cool black white, light blue, and light pink sanitary pads, while refreshing and cute, when paired with black underwear, appear very abrupt. Take a look at Shubao's latest black sanitary pad, isn't it really cool?

8. Humanized sanitary pads that can automatically monitor ovulation and predict menstrual periods, as well as personalized sanitary pads that can emit different fragrances and regulate menstrual emotions, have been studied. Let's wait and see.
