Menstrual Hygiene Day is celebrated on 28th May every year to spread awareness about the importance of practicing good menstrual hygiene. Menstruation is a healthy natural and biological process that every woman experiences. However, women should pay particular attention to personal hygiene while they are menstruating. Here are some of them;
Choose your method of sanitation:
Today there are a number of ways including the use of sanitary napkins, tampons and menstrual cups to stay clean. Try and use one brand for one type of protection for a while to know if it helps your needs. Frequent switching between brands can make you uncomfortable since brands are as unique as you, they suit everyone differently.
Change regularly:
There are a few instances where your sanitary napkin or tampon might not be completely used usually on days when you have a lesser flow but you must change at regular intervals. The standard time to change a sanitary pad is once every six hours, while for a tampon is once every two hours.
Wash yourself regularly:
It is important to wash your vagina and labia (the projecting part of female genitals) well before you change into a new pad. This practice also tends to beat bad odor from the vaginal region. If you cannot wash yourself before you change make sure to wipe off the areas using toilet paper or tissue.
Dispose your used sanitary product properly
It is essential to discard your used napkins or tampons properly because they are capable of spreading infections, will smell very foul. Be sure to dispose your sanitary pad in a bin placed on female washroom.

Practice safe hygiene
Wrap your used pad or napkin well before discarding it ensures that the smell and infection is contained. It is advised not to flush the pad or tampon down the toilet since they are capable of forming a block and can cause the toilet to back up.
