Important Questions about Hygiene During Your Period ⁉️

Continue...

6 IF PERIOD BLOOD GETS ON YOUR BED LINEN OR CLOTHES, CAN YOU REMOVE THE STAIN WITH HOT WATER?

Hot water doesn't work well for bloodstains. Instead, wash a fresh stain with cold water using regular (cream-free) soap, and it should fade.

7 IF YOU USE A PAD FOR THE NIGHT AND SLEEP FOR ABOUT EIGHT HOURS, SHOULD YOU GET UP EVERY FOUR HOURS TO CHANGE IT?

When you're active during the day, your menstrual flow is normally heavier, so the pad absorbs more blood, sweat, and sebum. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria, which is why you shouldn't wear one pad for more than four hours.

8 WHEN DISPOSING OF A USED SANITARY PRODUCT, SHOULD YOU WRAP IT FIRST?

Roll up a used pad, enclose it in the wrapper of the new one or in toilet paper, and then throw it away.

9 CAN YOU FLUSH SANITARY PRODUCTS DOWN THE TOILET?

Flushing even the smallest hygiene product can easily clog a pipe or sewer. If you're in a bathroom with no trash bin, you can take the used pad (tampon) with you and throw it away somewhere else.
