Sanitary Napkins
Sanitary napkin is a device used by women during menstruation, this serves to absorb the blood from the vagina so as not to melt everywhere. In addition to the time of menstruation, these devices are also used after vaginal surgery, after delivery, after abortion, or other situations that require these pads to absorb any liquid in the form of vaginal bleeding.
Sanitary napkin diapers are not the same as that used both men and women who suffer from urinary incontinence. However, sanitary napkins can also be used by them, because the absorption is almost the same as the diaper so.
History
Objects that are useful to accommodate this menstrual blood was already appearing in the written records since the 10th century. Throughout history, women use a variety of menstrual protection. Some examples in the Museum of Menstruation, among others, is a type of sewn pads and menstrual aprons. The Inuit (Eskimo) using rabbit skin while in Uganda that is used is papyrus . A fairly common way is to use a piece of old cloth.
Disposable sanitary napkin which was first distributed in the world is the product of Curads and Hartmann's. The idea for this product originated from the nurses who wear bandages from wood pulp to absorb menstrual blood. Bearings of this type is considered quite cheap to be discarded after use and raw materials easily obtained. Some makers of disposable napkins are also manufacturers of bandages first (modern sanitary napkin can be used for first aid on the wound if there are no bandages because of sanitary napkins and sterile high ability to absorb it). It took some time for the new product is widely used by women. This is mainly due to pricing issues.
Disposable napkins was originally made from wool, cotton, or the like, square-shaped and given the absorber layer. The absorber layer extended in front and rear to be linked in a special belt worn under the clothes inside. Designs like this model because it is often inconvenient to the front or rear skid. Then, the designer had the idea to give the adhesive pads on the bottom of the pads to be attached to the underwear. In the mid-1980s belted sanitary pads disappeared from the market replaced adhesive.
In line with the development of ergonomic, sanitary design also evolved since the 1980's until now. First, the pads can be up to two centimeters thick and therefore less effective absorber materials, often leaking. To overcome this, many variations are applied, for example adding a wing, reducing the thickness by using certain materials and so on. Sanitary design that was just made to be more curvy square and turns, the type bandage was so diverse. Types include disposable sanitary panty liners, ultra thin, regular, maxi, night, and maternity. Some pads are even given a deodorant to mask the smell of blood and there is some kind of panty liner that is designed to be used with the G-string.
Although the disposable pads have been widely used, the pads of the fabric (of course with a better design, not just pieces of cloth stuffed) re-emerged around the 1970's and is quite popular in the 1980s until the 1990s. Women choosing to use cloth on the grounds of convenience, health, environmental impact, and cheaper because it allows to be washed.
