Menstruation is a natural process that can affect our well-being. To feel comfortable and maintain intimate hygiene, it's worth knowing the principles that can alleviate discomfort and protect our health. In the following article, we will discuss what to avoid during menstruation and why it's worth opting for natural solutions, such as products from the Masmi brand made from 100% of the healthiest, certified organic cotton.
Avoid hot baths and saunas
Although a hot bath may seem relaxing, high water temperature dilates blood vessels, which can lead to heavier bleeding. A visit to the sauna is also not recommended – the high temperature can lower blood pressure and increase the risk of infection. That’s why, instead of a bath, a warm but not hot shower is a better choice; it helps you maintain proper intimate hygiene while also taking care of your health.
Avoid products with aggressive chemical substances
In their daily care, many women reach for conventional pads and tampons. Unfortunately, standard products often contain chlorine, pesticides and fragrances that can irritate the delicate skin of the intimate area. Such ingredients not only increase the risk of allergies, but can also affect the balance of the vaginal microbiome. That’s why it’s worth choosing natural products – made from 100% certified organic cotton, free from harmful substances and hypoallergenic, with numerous certifications, just like ours:
Don’t wear hygiene products for too long
Whether you use pads, tampons, or menstrual panties, it's very important to change them regularly. Standard pads and tampons should be changed every 3–4 hours to prevent bacterial growth. Meanwhile, our modern menstrual panties are a great alternative – thanks to their special high absorbency (for example, size L reaches up to 69.6 g absorption, equivalent to the protection of over four traditional tampons), you only need to change them twice a day. An additional advantage is their economy – the panties can be washed up to 100 times, with a guarantee of maintaining quality.
Avoid heavy and processed meals
During your period, the body is more sensitive, so diet plays a key role. Highly processed, fatty or sugar-rich foods can worsen symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating and fatigue. It’s better to reach for fresh fruit, vegetables, wholegrain products and nuts. A balanced diet during your period will help maintain hormonal balance and support the body’s recovery, which will have a positive effect on how you feel.
Avoid harsh intimate hygiene products
Frequent use of heavily perfumed soaps and intimate washes can disrupt the skin’s natural pH and cause irritation. Instead, choose products with a gentle formula, preferably based on natural ingredients. Masmi products are free from harmful additives, making them ideal for everyday care. They help you maintain intimate hygiene without the risk of irritation, so you can feel fresh and comfortable all day long.
Why choose Masmi products?
Products by Masmi stand out from the competition primarily thanks to the quality of the raw materials used. All items – from eco pads, through period underwear, to panty liners – are made from certified organic cotton, which guarantees the absence of harmful substances such as chlorine or pesticides. As a result, these products are not only safe and hypoallergenic, but also biodegradable. What’s more, Masmi period underwear available in various sizes offers impressive absorbency:
- Size S: up to 47.7 g
- Size M: up to 62.3 g
- Size L: up to 69.6 g
- Size XL: up to 77.9 g
Such high absorbency combined with the possibility of multiple washes (up to 400 times without loss of quality!) makes them an excellent choice for women who value comfort, cost-effectiveness and environmental care. And if that’s not enough – we also offer underwear with double (up to 120 g) and triple absorbency (up to 166 g)!
Summary
When taking care of your health and comfort during your period, it’s worth avoiding a few key factors:
- Hot baths and saunas, which can increase bleeding
- Products containing harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin
- Wearing traditional hygiene products for too long
- Heavy, processed foods that burden the body
- Aggressive intimate hygiene products
Opt for natural solutions like Masmi products, which, thanks to their quality and certified composition, support the health of your intimate area. Making informed choices about the right products will let you enjoy every day, even during a difficult period, while ensuring both comfort and safety.
