卫生垫

卫生垫 (wèi shēng diàn)，also known as sanitary napkins or pads, are absorbent articles worn by women during menstruation, postpartum bleeding, or to manage urinary incontinence. They are designed to absorb menstrual flow and provide a discreet and hygienic means of managing bodily fluids.

Material

Modern sanitary pads are constructed from multiple layers, typically including:

• Top Sheet: Often made of cotton, rayon, or a synthetic polymer (like polypropylene) to provide a comfortable and dry surface against the skin. May be textured for increased comfort and fluid distribution.
• Absorbent Core: Traditionally composed of wood pulp, but increasingly utilizes superabsorbent polymers (SAPs). SAPs can hold many times their weight in fluid, offering increased capacity and reduced bulk. Other materials include cellulose fluff pulp and cotton.
• Back Sheet: A waterproof layer, typically made of polyethylene plastic film, to prevent leakage. Some pads utilize breathable back sheets to improve air circulation and reduce moisture.
• Adhesive Strip: A sticky layer used to secure the pad to underwear.
• Release Paper: Protects the adhesive strip before use.
• Other Components: May include wings for improved fit and security, odor control materials (such as charcoal or beads), and fragrance.

Purpose

The primary purpose of sanitary pads is to:

• Absorb Menstrual Flow: To collect and contain menstrual blood, preventing staining of clothing and bedding.
• Maintain Hygiene: Provide a clean and comfortable means of managing menstruation.
• Prevent Odor: Some pads incorporate odor control features to minimize unwanted smells.
• Provide Discretion: Offer a discreet solution for managing menstruation in public and private settings.

Function

Sanitary pads function by:

• Absorption: The absorbent core draws menstrual fluid away from the body.
• Retention: The core holds the fluid, preventing leakage.
• Adhesion: The adhesive strip secures the pad to underwear, maintaining its position.
• Distribution: The top sheet and core design helps distribute fluid evenly, preventing localized saturation.

Usage Scenarios

Sanitary pads are used in various situations, including:

• Menstruation: The most common use, worn during the menstrual cycle.
• Postpartum Bleeding (Lochia): Used after childbirth to manage vaginal bleeding.
• Urinary Incontinence: Used to absorb urine leakage.
• Vaginal Discharge: May be used to manage heavier vaginal discharge.

Common Types

• Regular Pads: Standard absorbency for moderate flow.
• Super Pads: Higher absorbency for heavier flow.
• Ultra Pads: Maximum absorbency for very heavy flow or overnight use.
• Thin Pads: Thinner design for discretion, available in various absorbencies.
• Overnight Pads: Longer and wider design for extended wear during sleep.
• Winged Pads: Feature wings that fold around the sides of underwear for improved security.
• Pad with Wings: The most common type, offering better fit and leak prevention.
• Herbal Pads: Contain herbal ingredients, marketed for their purported health benefits.
• Organic Pads: Made from organic cotton and other natural materials, often preferred by those with sensitive skin.
• Reusable Cloth Pads: Washable and reusable alternative to disposable pads.
