      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 (Female food) Hormonal 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 (oil food) secretion, so it feels greasy. At this time, frequent local cleaning is required. Wash the lower body with soap at least once a day and clean the lower body twice with water or a wet towel, and the situation will be effectively improved.

      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.

      You can use Hushubao's green silk-thin sanitary napkin. It not only has a breathable bottom layer, but also has absorbent molecules made of natural pine, making you more relaxed during your menstrual period and not affected by the odor of menstrual blood.
