Do pads create a greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect from pads: myth or the real deal? 👀 We asked an obstetrician-gynecologist and podcast host about the safety of pads 💌
Pads are still considered the safest
I'm an obstetrician-gynaecologist, and today I'm going to talk to you about pads. I think many of us choose personal hygiene products on a "to each their own" basis. And it's important to note here that, of all personal hygiene products, pads are still considered the safest.
Pads have a number of side effects
These days all manufacturers naturally focus on safety. But, like everything else, pads have a number of side effects. That's why it's worth choosing pads that contain no perfumes, fragrances, dyes or anything else unnecessary, because these can trigger allergic reactions and dermatitis.
It's important to use pads correctly
It's also important to use pads correctly, namely to change them every 4 hours. Pads are made up of many different layers, and one of them is plastic. When a pad is used incorrectly, it naturally creates a greenhouse effect. And when fluids build up, especially menstrual blood, or if any other problems develop, this can disrupt the vaginal microflora. That's why it's very important to change pads on time and to use quality products.
Why are pads the safest?
Pads are also the safest option. Do you know why? Because the risk of developing toxic shock syndrome when using pads is practically zero. They don't injure the mucous membranes or the skin, which means the risk of developing diseases is practically zero. So choose quality products.
