5 Things to keep in mind for your Menstrual
Hygiene
On Menstrual Hygiene Day, we share some tips that
can help you deal with those difficult days of the month.
Menstruation is one of the vital processes of a woman's
body which deserves utmost caution and self-care.
Ensuring proper hygiene during menstruation and
eating right is the key to ease the pain you go through.
Today, on Menstrual Hygiene Day, promise yourself healthy and happy periods with these hygiene
tips.

1. Change your sanitary napkin every 4-6 hours-


Changing sanitary napkins or tampons within every 4-6 hours is the cardinal rule to establish
vaginal hygiene. Menstrual blood, when released from the body attracts various organisms from our
bodies, which multiply in the warmth of the blood, and cause irritation, rashes or urinary tract
infections. Changing your sanitary napkin or tampon regularly curbs the growth of these organisms
and prevents infections.

2. Wash yourself properly-


Washing your vagina regularly is extremely important, because the organisms cling to your body
after you have removed your sanitary napkin. Most people wash themselves regularly, but not the
right way--which is, using your hands in motion from the vagina to the anus, not vice-versa. 
Motioning  your hand from the anus to the vagina can lead to the transmission of the bacteria from
the anus into the vagina or urethra opening  leading to infections.

3. Don't use soaps or vagina hygiene products-


While using vaginal hygiene products everyday is a good idea, using these products during menses
can turn things around. Vaginas have their own cleaning mechanism which comes into play during
menstrual cycles, and these artificial hygiene products can hamper the natural process leading to
infections and growth of bacteria.

4. Discard the sanitary napkin properly-


Disposing off your tampons and sanitary napkins properly is an important step. Wrap them properly
before you throw them away, so the bacteria and infections do not spread.  Make sure you don't
flush them, since that will block the toilet causing the water to back up, spreading the bacteria all
over it.  Washing your hands properly is of utmost importance after you have wrapped and
discarded the used tampons and sanitary napkins, since you're likely to touch the stained area while
wrapping them.

5. Stick to one method of sanitation-


Women tend to use tampons and sanitary napkins, or two sanitary napkins simultaneously during
heavy flow which is an efficient technique. While it may keep you dry and prevent stained clothes,
it can cause infections too. The combination of two techniques absorbs the blood making us
oblivious to the need to change our tampons and sanitary napkins. Without frequent change, the
accumulated blood invites bacteria and causes infections. So, it is advisable to use one sanitary
napkin and change it as frequently as you can during heavy flow. These cardinal rules will help you
stay healthy and manage your period better.
