SELF CARE
Prolonged use of sanitary pads in a day leads to an overgrowth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in your vagina. It’s usually called toxic shock syndrome. Few symptoms of toxic shock syndrome are fever, dizziness, and diarrhea.
The toxins released by the bacteria will cause a sudden drop in your blood pressure (BP) which is dangerous because the brain fails to get enough blood supply. Your pads are made of synthetic materials that block wetness and lock the moister within, encouraging bacterial growth.
This is one of the main reasons why some women experience severe allergies and yeast infections. Some women have a misconception and may think it’s normal to have allergies and itchiness.
