      The reason why menstruation produces odor is mainly because it is mixed with the smell of blood, endometrium, sebaceous gland secretions and sweat, so it has a relatively obvious odor. To improve this situation, the best way is to improve your own hygiene first. During girlhood, female Hormone secretion is stronger, and sebaceous gland secretion is also stronger. In addition to being prone to acne, the lower body is also prone to oil secretion, so it feels greasy. At this time, frequent local cleansing is required. Cleaning the lower body with clean water or a wet towel twice a day will effectively improve the condition.

      Furthermore, many people like to wrap their bags tightly during menstruation. Doing so is like adding fuel to the fire and will only increase sweat penetration and sweat odor. Therefore, during menstruation, you should use cotton underwear and change sanitary napkins as often as possible, no more than 4 hours at a time, so as to reduce skin Contact with wet sanitary napkins. When the amount of menstrual blood is heavy, the frequency of changing sanitary napkins should increase accordingly. What's more important is that during menstruation, you must take a shower frequently. If you don't take a shower for more than two days, "odor" will inevitably overflow. Of course, it may not be the smell of menstrual blood at that time, but it may be your own body odor.

      In addition, of course, choosing the right sanitary napkin and using it correctly are also very important.
