Hygiene Advice
Good personal hygiene during the days of the period is one of the most basic things a teenager needs to learn. The sensitive area can often show signs of irritation because of moist and friction during movement. Thus, the basic cleaning rules should be thoroughly followed, while the pads should be changed at regular intervals. This would help your daughter not only to maintain the health of the sensitive area, but also to make her feel comfortable and fresh.
What should a teenager do to maintain a good gynecological hygiene?
• Wash daily with specially designed liquid intimate wash for the sensitive area, and use plenty of water to rinse it off.
• Prefer taking a shower to taking a bath.
• Prefer personal hygiene products designed to be skin friendly. According to research data held in our country, the irritation that 25% of women feel in the sensitive area during the period days is caused by the plastic cover of some pads and pantyliners. EveryDay all Cotton pantyliners have a 100% cotton cover, thereby providing maximum hygienic protection to the skin, as they allow only cotton to touch the skin. EveryDay Sensitive napkins’ design, offers complete hygienic protection without irritation, thanks to its skin friendly hygienic extra soft top sheet .
• Swimming is not forbidden, but it is advisable that your daughter should follow some rules, such as: ensure that the beach is clean and be careful not to come into contact with sand, avoid staying too long with wet bathing suits on etc.
• Always wipe the sensitive area in the right way (from front to back), to avoid transferring germs to the vagina.
• Be especially careful when going to public toilets.
• Do not ever borrow underwear, bathing suits and towels from others.
• Avoid very tight pants.
• Prefer cotton underwear. Synthetic materials make the skin area “warm and sweaty” so it becomes vulnerable to infections.
• It is very important that the underwear is rinsed thoroughly, because sometimes detergents and softeners can cause irritation.
• Especially for daily use, the 100% cotton cover pantyliners, such as EveryDay All Cotton, EveryDay Cotton Fresh, are an ideal solution, since the skin comes in contact with a natural material.
