Menopause is a process in which women experience significant physical and emotional changes, most of which are difficult to cope with. Part of these changes occur in the female intimate area, so it is advisable to use appropriate menstrual underwear during menopause to help cope with these changes.
What is menopause?
It is the permanent interruption of a woman's menstrual cycle and consequently the end of her fertility. This is caused by aging, therefore the ovaries do not continue with the production of estrogen and progesterone, which means that ovulation ceases definitively and it is no longer possible to become pregnant.
The symptoms associated with menopause, among others, are:
- Irregularity in menstrual periods.
- Hot flashes.
- Breast tenderness.
- Mood swings.
- Sleep disorders.
- Irritability.
- Anxiety.
- Fatigue.
What clothing is recommended
In general, the use of comfortable, cool, and loose clothing is recommended, since the use of clothes that are not tight helps to alleviate hot flashes and sweating caused by menopause, making this change more bearable.
On the other hand, the urinary tract and genital area are very affected due to the loss of estrogen, therefore the genital area of women is very sensitive in this period and because of this, we recommend you to have appropriate menstrual underwear during menopause.
To keep in mind
In menopause, intimate hygiene and care should be extreme due to the delicacy of the intimate area, so natural fabrics are the most recommended for use as this will help to avoid genital or urine infections.
Silk or lycra are fabrics that prevent perspiration and have a higher probability of infections, are poorly absorbent fabrics and prevent the passage of air generating excessive sweating causing the ideal environment for the proliferation of infection-causing batteries.
It is therefore recommended the use of cotton as it is a fabric that allows perspiration, prevents sweating, and at the time of the loss of small drops of urine this fabric absorbs easily thus preventing infections.
It is important to emphasize not only the use of cotton garments but also that they should not be too tight. It is also important to know that the washing of these garments should be with water and a neutral soap, avoiding the use of bleach or softeners because these chemicals can affect the genital area with irritations.
It is also recommended to avoid the use of garments with lace as these can generate friction when moving and as a consequence irritation in the genital area. In addition to these recommendations, it is important that you change your underwear constantly as this will favor the necessary freshness in the intimate area.
Menopause is a process that everyone would like to avoid because of how uncomfortable it can be, but a process that everyone must go through at some point, so we must be prepared for when it comes and for this, it is important to have menstrual underwear during menopause that gives us the greatest comfort.
