What size does the postpartum sanitary napkin need? After delivery, there is usually a wound in the vulva of the parturient. Ordinary sanitary napkins are made of general synthetic fibers. Because of their chemical composition, many impurities, they are prone to fluff, high friction coefficient, easy to fall off, and easy to generate static electricity, which easily irritates the sensitive wounds of the parturient and increases the pain of the parturient. During this period, in addition to coping with lochia lasting for 2-4 weeks, the parturient should shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the baby, and the changes of hormones in the body and the panic during childbirth make the mother's physiology and psychology unstable. Using high-quality special sanitary napkins can minimize the pain of the parturient and give the fragile postpartum mother the most personal comfort. So what size do postpartum sanitary napkins usually buy? Let me introduce it to you.
Some women don't know how many sanitary napkins they need to prepare, so they just buy large or small ones. If you only use large sanitary napkins, you are likely to be infected with bacteria and it is wasteful; If you only use the trumpet, the stage with more lochia will be very troublesome and it will be easy to get dirty. Therefore, in order to be healthy and comfortable, it is best to buy three different types of sanitary napkins to meet the needs of different stages.
There are many models and sizes of postpartum sanitary napkins that women choose. When choosing, they should choose to buy according to their own needs. The above is the knowledge about sanitary napkins for pregnant women.
Maternity sanitary napkins are generally divided into L, M and S models. The model is related to the maternal body shape, which is three different periods to deal with lochia respectively.
2-3 days after delivery, it contains a lot of blood (red lochia), which is the period with the most lochia. It is suggested that mother's L sanitary towel should be used together with puerperal sanitary pants. Deal with a lot of bloody lochia 2-3 days after delivery. Pay attention to the first postpartum care, L sanitary napkins and M sanitary napkins are used together. When it needs to be replaced, it is generally only necessary to replace the M sanitary napkin on the L number. First, it is convenient to deal with lochia, and second, it is convenient for medical staff to observe lochia. Some hospitals will require pregnant women who have just given birth to use toilet paper, which is convenient for their care and more breathable.
4-8 days after delivery, the amount of bleeding began to decrease and the color began to fade (brown lochia). It is suggested that mothers should use M sanitary towel with underwear before puerperal use to deal with the mid-term brown lochia 4-8 days after delivery. If the quantity is still large, then continue to use L sanitary napkins.
Postpartum 10 days or so, almost no blood, and the amount began to decrease (yellow lochia).
More than 3 weeks after delivery, it does not contain blood and becomes milky white lochia. The amount is also very small, just like the usual leucorrhea. Sometimes it contains brown leucorrhea, but if the amount is small, it is not a big problem. At this time, it is recommended that mothers use S or Mini sanitary napkins with underwear before puerperium to deal with lochia after postpartum 10 days.
How many sanitary napkins do you need to prepare after delivery? It is suggested that you can prepare 2-3 packs of sanitary napkins, and you must have sanitary napkins for maternity! Because maternity sanitary napkins have antibacterial and anti-infection effects, on the other hand, maternity sanitary napkins are much bigger than ordinary sanitary napkins. The number of sanitary napkins for lying-in women depends on whether you have a natural delivery or a caesarean section. The amount of lochia produced after delivery and caesarean section is also different, so the number of sanitary napkins prepared is also different. Generally, the lochia of caesarean section will last for 2 weeks, and the natural delivery will be longer, ranging from 2 weeks to 4 weeks, so the number of sanitary napkins prepared will also be different. When you can't walk in the hospital just after giving birth, the medical staff will usually let you use toilet paper and put it under your hips so that others can help you change it. You can start using sanitary napkins when you can walk on the ground. Remember to choose one with strong breathability. You may need 3-5 sanitary napkins if you have a large quantity a day, so prepare at least 3 packs (one pack is 10, 30 * *). If you have a small quantity later, you can buy smaller sanitary napkins.
Maternity sanitary napkins are generally divided into L, M and S models. The model is related to the maternal body shape, which is three different periods to deal with lochia respectively. Generally, 2-3 days after delivery, it contains a lot of blood (red lochia), which is the period with the most lochia, and sanitary napkins will be used a lot, but toilet paper is used in hospitals for these two or three days. 4-8 days after delivery, the amount of bleeding began to decrease and the color began to fade (brown lochia). At this time, sanitary napkins may be 3-4 tablets a day. Of course, if you think the amount is too large, change it frequently, which will be better for protecting your vagina. Postpartum 10 days or so, almost no blood, and the amount began to decrease (yellow lochia). Sanitary napkins are also used less, maybe 2-3 pieces a day, more than 3 weeks after delivery, which does not contain blood and turns into milky white lochia, so you can use sterilized pads.
Attention should be paid to the choice of sanitary napkins for lying-in women
1 If Bao Ma had a natural delivery, it was not recommended to use maternity sanitary napkins at the beginning of delivery. I bought one at that time, but the doctor refused to use it, because the natural delivery would cut sideways and the air tightness would affect the wound healing. You can only consider using sanitary napkins when you are discharged from the hospital. Sanitary napkins must be breathable.
2, be sure to choose a sanitary towel for maternity, do not use ordinary sanitary napkins. Although some extra-long sanitary napkins are enough for ordinary night use, there is no way to compare them with maternity sanitary napkins in terms of material, hygiene index and air permeability. The physiological condition of lying-in women is completely different from that of ordinary women. The postpartum parturient's birth canal is open, the skin is highly sensitive, and the resistance is also reduced, which is prone to infection. Ordinary sanitary napkins are made of synthetic fibers, which contain many chemical components and impurities, and the disinfection is not strict. Some brands don't even carry out special disinfection. Using such sanitary napkins will stimulate wounds, aggravate maternal pain, and more easily increase maternal infection rate.
