Consumer tips

(A) look at the packaging, more inspection.

When purchasing goods, we should carefully check the product information such as factory name, address, hygiene license number, anti-counterfeiting mark, production date, shelf life, etc. on the outer packaging to identify whether the license number is valid or not. Try to buy sanitary napkins with independent packaging, or with zipper seals or sealing strips sealed for many times to avoid being contaminated during storage, and try to choose sanitary napkins produced recently.

(2) Choose word of mouth and trust the brand.

It is suggested that consumers should purchase sanitary napkins through formal channels, such as large supermarkets and well-known online shopping platforms. Consumers are advised to choose brand sanitary napkins with good reputation and high reputation, especially sanitary napkins produced by enterprises with strict quality management system and safety certificates.

(3) Look at the standard and distinguish it skillfully.

Special reminder: the license number of sanitary napkins mainly includes the medical machine name and the common elimination name. Medical mechanical sanitary napkins have higher requirements on safety and hygiene; Considering the safety and comfort during normal menstrual period, it is recommended to choose ordinary font size; Women with allergic constitution should use medical sanitary napkins with caution.

(4) frequent replacement and good preservation.

It is best to wash your hands before changing sanitary products. The best time to change sanitary products during menstruation is 2-3 hours. If you don’t change them for a long time, it will easily lead to bacterial infection. Attention should be paid to avoid moisture during storage and whether it exceeds the expiration date. Sanitary napkins are sterilized by high temperature disinfection, and there is no aseptic guarantee after the expiration date. Consumers are advised not to buy too many sanitary napkins at a time, and it is best to buy them immediately.(Source: Yuyao Market Supervision Bureau)
