My Reading Room

Periods are uncomfortable enough – think cramps, nausea, fatigue and bloating. For some women, napkin dermatitis, or itching, soreness and rashes around the intimate area, adds to their monthly woes. While it’s not something women oft en discuss, the condition is more common than you think and can affect anyone, not just those with sensitive skin.

SO WHY DO I GET NAPKIN DERMATITIS?
Skin around the intimate area is extremely delicate as it has the least number of protective layers, even fewer than your eyelids. So unless extra care is taken to manage the two main triggers –  humidity and friction – the area can get inflamed easily. During your period, relative humidity is high due to the build up of perspiration and moisture in the area. This damp environment makes skin more sensitive and susceptible to inflammation. Friction, caused by skin rubbing against the napkin surface, can also trigger symptoms.

HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
Besides changing your pad regularly and keeping the area clean, you can reduce the occurrence of napkin dermatitis by choosing the right kind of sanitary napkin. Laurier Ultra Gentle is the first sanitary napkin in Singapore to be dermatologically tested and specially designed to minimise skin discomfort during periods. It is equipped with a Quick Lock System that absorbs quickly and “locks in” fluid so you’ll never have that wet, sticky feeling. It also boasts a unique wavy top sheet that minimises contact with skin and reduces discomfort caused by friction. What’s more, Laurier Ultra Gentle is made in Japan and developed in accordance with Japan Advanced Skin Science Technology, which means you get premium quality napkins that care for your skin.
