From puberty, women have menstruation almost every month, which can maintain a normal menstrual cycle, representing a woman's ovarian function, very normal, no problem with uterine development, and can better exercise fertility.

The normal maintenance of women's ovarian function can also prevent women from entering old age in advance, which has positive significance for delaying the atrophy of the female reproductive tract, promoting the normal secretion of the secretory glands of the reproductive tract, and maintaining a normal sexual life.

While menstruation has many benefits, many women are also very troubled by it because each period becomes very inconvenient. In addition to abdominal pain, low back pain and other discomforts, it is also necessary to put sanitary napkins in the bag anytime and anywhere in case of emergency.

Today, there are a wide variety of hygiene products on the market. In addition to sanitary napkins commonly used by women, tampons, menstrual cups, safety pants, etc. also occupy a large market share. But for most women in China, sanitary napkins are the most commonly used.

Why do foreign women love to use tampons, but Chinese women rarely use them? The reason may be very simple

1. Physiological characteristics

European and American whites and African blacks are very different directly from the Chinese. The most different is the difference in the development of female genitalia. Generally speaking, the female reproductive organs of European, American and African countries are much larger than those of Chinese women.

In most Western countries, women have more casual sex, generally having sex within a year of their first menstrual period, so the vaginal opening is small and tampon insertion is easier.

Most Chinese women have relatively small reproductive organs and have relatively late sex. Therefore, from the perspective of physiological characteristics, the use of tampons by Westerners is beneficial to make up for the defects of physiological structure and help absorb menstrual blood, while it is not necessary for Eastern women.

2. Hygiene

The tampon adheres tightly to the vaginal epithelium as it absorbs menstrual blood and expands. Because the small environment in the body easily reduces the body's resistance, the replacement interval is generally about 4 hours. Endometrial does not absorb dry and cracked, prone to toxic shock syndrome.

Because tampons have good absorption and no side leakage, many women believe that frequent replacement is not necessary, and microorganisms will multiply under the action of temperature, moisture and precise nutrition, which greatly increases the chance of infection.

According to statistics, the incidence of cervical cancer in European and American women is relatively high, which is related to the long-term use of tampons. From a scientific point of view, the use of sanitary napkins is more conducive to the discharge of menstrual blood, including debris, more in line with human body functions, and more convenient to replace.

3. Traditional habits

Most Western women are more open-minded. In order to prevent pregnancy, many people often take contraceptives before marriage. Generally speaking, Western women’s menstrual cycle is relatively stable, and it is more convenient to use tampons, while Eastern women use sanitary napkins. Use pads to match.

In addition, many Chinese women are worried that the hymen is damaged by the living body, while Western women have already broken their virginity when they are open to sexual attitudes and the society defaults to being the majority of girls. Therefore, Chinese women's worries are not unreasonable.

To sum up, from the above three perspectives, it is reasonable for Chinese women not to use tampons. Of course, tampons do not only have disadvantages. For married women, if they master the accurate operation method of tampons, they will not only avoid hidden dangers when using tampons, but will make life more convenient.
