How to maintain menstrual hygiene

By Apurva P

1

Change sanitary products

Changing pads, tampons, and menstrual cups regularly prevents infections such as toxic shock syndrome while reducing skin irritation.

2

Wash regularly

Shower twice daily. Clean private parts with just water and not with regular soap or body wash.

3

Wear breathable clothes

Wear loose-fitting cotton undergarments to stay dry and fresh. Avoid tight garments that can trap moisture and lead to germs thriving on them.

4

Dispose used menstrual products properly

Dispose used menstrual products properly in designated bins after wrapping them securely. Wash hands afterwards.

5

Stay hydrated and eat nutritious foods

Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support overall health during menstruation.
