Intimate hygiene

It is important to maintain good daily feminine hygiene to prevent irritation, odour, and infections from occuring.

JUST like overall hygiene for other parts of the body, proper feminine hygiene in women is often overlooked. While women today spend a lot on their facial care, make-up, and other grooming products, the very important intimate area is often neglected.

Women who wear tight undergarments or jeans for prolonged periods are more susceptible to infections in their intimate regions.

It is important to realise that just like other parts of the body, a woman’s intimate area requires special care and attention.

Just like our digestive system, which contains “friendly” gut bacteria, the skin and lining surrounding a woman’s intimate area contains “friendly” bacteria, which produces an acid known as lactic acid. This acid maintains a healthy environment and prevents the growth of “unfriendly” bacteria or yeast, which can cause infection.

Not surprisingly, these “friendly” bacteria are considered guardians of the intimate area.

What factors can affect this natural acidic environment? In our hot and humid weather, there are many factors which can disturb this natural acidic environment. When this acidic environment is disturbed, women are predisposed to infections that can cause discomfort and visits to healthcare professionals.

Now let’s take a look at some common factors which can affect the intimate area.

·Age – Most women are more prone to such infections. This is due to the changing hormonal levels that occur at different ages, which can affect the growth of “friendly” bacteria, and ultimately, the acidic balance in the intimate area.

·Clothing – Women who wear tight undergarments or jeans for prolonged periods are more susceptible to infections. This is due to the increase in moisture levels which promote the growth of “unfriendly” bacteria.

·Menstrual cycle – During a women’s monthly cycle, it is especially important to maintain good daily feminine hygiene to prevent irritation and odour.

·Sexual activity – During sexual activity, the natural environment in the intimate area can be affected, and this can predispose women to increased risk of infections.

·Basic hygiene techniques – Using feminine hygiene wipes would be helpful, especially when using public toilets. Also, wiping in a “front-to-back” direction is the most appropriate. When using toilet tissue, use the unscented variety.

·Using inappropriate feminine hygiene products – This is an important aspect of feminine hygiene to take into consideration.

In the Asiabus Research conducted in Malaysia in September 2008, the awareness of feminine hygiene products amongst women in Malaysia was 80%, and 73% of these women have used a feminine hygiene product in the past 12 months. Whilst the usage of feminine hygiene products is high, the choice of product is equally important.

Through this research, it was revealed that only 55% of women were using feminine hygiene wash, while the rest of the products used consisted of feminine hygiene deodorant, douching apparatus, talcum, wipes, spray, and gel.

If we look at the research, many women are using the wrong products for feminine hygiene. Talcum powder and deodorant sprays are not appropriate. They have a tendency to cause irritation in the genital area and can lead to itching and burning sensations.

Also, remember that soap and water which we use to bathe in is not ideal for washing the intimate area. Soaps are alkaline in nature, and this is opposite to the protective acidic environment. This will destroy the “friendly” bacteria in the intimate area and lead to overgrowth of “unfriendly” bacteria.

Hence, using a daily feminine hygiene wash is more appropriate for women when it comes to their genital areas. For added benefit, natural moisturisers such as that derived from milk may help to reduce skin irritation.

Knowing the basics of feminine hygiene can help you tremendously and avoid unnecessary infections. Taking care of the most intimate part of you is something you owe yourself!

MONTE Product Testimony

Product Testimony:

Ivy Choong Age: 39

I have problem with menstrual disorder. My period comes with small volume and sometime it would last for a month. After I have used Monte, my menstrual period has been back to normal and now is finished in a week time. My menstrual is getting more smooth now and I feel more relieve and energetic!

Stephanie Low Age: 25

Due to my busy working lifestyle, I always feel tired. When I started to use Monte Pantyliner, I feel that my white discharge has been reduced and no more odor smell. Most importantly even my dad also can notice the improvement of my fairness and healthy skin. Monte Pantyliner is really thin and breathable, I can barely feel like I am wearing it! 

Carmen Wong Age: 31

I always opt for the longest sanitary pad available in market during menstrual period, but most of time it will leak. When I start using Monte Day Use (which is not supposed to be use for night time), it was so amazed that it absorption is so great until it did not leak out until the next morning and I have enjoyed a good sleep without any interruption.

Ms Chan Age: 38

My menstrual was disordered after the delivery of my first son 8 years ago. I was so fortunate being introduced to Monte and after I used it for 2 months, my menstrual period is back to normal and after 6 months later, I am so lucky to get pregnant again after long wait.

Emily Lee Age: 28

I always have menstrual pain in the past. Through my friend recommendation, I have tried to use Monte. So surprisingly, my period finally comes so smoothly with much lesser pain and I can feel that some of my body toxin was also discharged with the blood. I feel so relieve and more energy now.

Q: What is the competitive advantage for Monte sanitary pad compared to other similar specification brand in the market?

Our core stripe is weighted as 60g/㎡ which is among the highest in market and consist of 3-in-1 functions (negative ion, nano silver & far infrared ray), where some others only with single function. We have full test report on the core stripe, free of heavy metal and toxin report from Malaysia ALS test lab. Some brands claim many functions without supporting test reports. The reason we only use 3 functions is to equally weight the 3 important components embedded into the stripe. You may notice the high concentrate of pixels on the stripe compared to others. 

Our Dust-free layer is weighted as 60g/㎡ which is highest in the market in order to wrap up the SAP layer in stable position after it absorb with blood and also to ensure the moisture from the SAP will not affect the dryness on the surface layer. Some brands’ surface layer will get wet fast as it is thin and easy to break off when under very moisture environment.

Our Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) is weighted as 190g/㎡ which is the highest in the market and imported from Japan. In our experiment of on water absorption, it can absorb 250 -270ml. Some other brand can only take up to 150 – 180ml.

Our Anti-leakage layer [12g/㎡] is only available for Monte but not other brand. This is the improvement feature made in order to avoid the liquid flow out from middle of the pad due to the pressures from stored liquid or sitting position. We employ this technology without affecting the permeability of the bottom layer

Permeability bottom layer – this is extremely important to enable the humid air from out from the inside and also to avoid the growth of bacteria. In normal brand in sold in hypermarket, this is not the available feature and most women will easy feel itchiness and warm if the bottom layer is not breathable.

Monte sanitary pad is without any fragrant or herb smell which is not recommended by many doctors, while some other brand in the market does have some sort of herb or fragrant added on.

Q:  What is a pantyliner? Why would I use one?

Pantyliners are products designed for your daily hygiene. A lot of women/girls wear them on the days in between their periods to absorb any natural discharge to help keep them feeling clean. Monte pantyliner with the 3-in-1 core stripe will provide health benefits when in contact with it.

Q:  How do pantyliners work?

Pantyliners typically have three layers: a cotton surface layer, an absorbent (dust free) layer and a breathable bottom layer. The cotton surface layer allows moisture to be pulled into the absorbent layer away from your skin. The back layer helps keep moisture inside the pantyliner away from your underwear.

Health Theory of 3-In-1 Functional Core Chip

Cleaning Function of Negative Ion

Since the first time when women menstrual, the uterine wall has begun to accumulate blood clot that totally cannot be discharged out. Examine yourself from the first time of menstrual period where bloods lying on the sanitary pad are all in fresh red colour until the change of colour to dark brown today, this will tell whether the cleanliness of your uterus. Negative Ion has the cleaning effect where it will produce large number of negative ions to flow into the uterus through vagina. When negative ions increase, the amount of oxygen also increases and this will kill all the anaerobic bacteria. These dirty blood clots will be discharged out from body during the next few round of menstrual period.

Please Note: for women who first started to use, you may encounter large amount of blood clots and bloods during the cleaning process. The blood clots will cause the surface of sanitary pad being blocked. Therefore, on early stage usage, please go to check whenever you feel any flow of period blood flow and if found any dirt; replace it immediately so that it will not cause leaking. Basically you will find the colour of blood will gradually turn back to more fresh red colour after few round of menstrual periods and which means your uterus is becoming cleaner.

Sterilization Function of Nano Silver

Women’s is always in close up condition and will be opened up during menstrual period as to allow period bloods to flow out. At the same time, the opened uterus is also welcome the invasion of bacteria. In order to prevent bacterial infection, sanitary pad must have the function of sterilization. The function of Nano Silver in Monte 3-in-1 core chip is able to all bacteria within 30 minutes and with the successful rate of 99.9%.

Function of Far Infrared Ray (FIR)

What Are The Technologies Behind Monte

MONTE sanitary pads is made of pure cotton surface with high-temperature and UV sterilization. This will enable women to enjoy a great feeling of soft and comfortable environment during the entire menstrual periods and therefore, avoiding the discomfort feelings resulted from the sanitary pad surface which made of paper or plastic materials.

In addition, MONTE uses 100% Japan imported Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) as the fluid absorption material. In seconds, it can convert liquid form of menstrual bloods to solid form and the blood will be completely locked as to achieve the effect of no spill over and always in dry surface. Therefore, women can be rest assured that they will able to enjoy their normal lifestyle even during their menstrual periods.  (In general, the absorption functions of the low-grade sanitary pads are made of recycled paper or unqualified absorption materials which contains heavy metals and microbial and this will resulting many negative impacts to women health.)

On ventilation function, the bottom layer of MONTE has the excellent breathable effects which can enable the heat from inside to penetrate out as to eliminate the stored moisture and humid air, to reduce the bacteria growth and to minimize the infection problems during the menstrual periods. (The breeding of bacteria is most optimal under moisture environment. Most of the women are not hard-working enough to replace sanitary pads and when coupled with bacterial infection, they are prompted to be infected during the menstrual process). MONTE has added another cotton layer above the breathable layer in order to further improve the resistance against permeability and to achieve the best result of leak-proof effect, without affecting the ventilation function. (Normally this feature does not found in many high-grade sanitary pads in market.)

MONTE sanitary pads not only providing women with absolute protection when wearing it, it has also brought many positive health impacts to women with the implementation of the MONTE 3-in-1 multifunctional core chips which exclusively designed for MONTE by Taiwan's Nanotechnology. This core chip has 3 major functions for human health:

1. Negative Ions (test results: 6,120 a / cm ³)

2. Nano-Silver with 99.99% kill bacteria effect 

3. Far Infrared Ray function

6.  Liquid Absorption 

Normal brand - not even able to absorb 50ml liquid of water. Women daily period discharge is averagely 50ml. 

Recommended Buy : Product with super absorbent, no flow back and dry surface layer

7.  Composition of Materials

Basic structure	Chemical Materials	Recommended Buy : High-Quality Materials
Surface Layer	Paper/Plastic Surface	Soft Cotton Surface
Absorption Layer	Recycle Paper / Recycle Paper with low quantity of SAP	High Grade SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) – Plant Extract
Bottom Layer	Not Permeability	Permeability
Base Sticker	Industrial Gums	Food Grade Gum

8. Check Bottom Layer Permeability

There will be a certain degree of temperature when women discharge blood during menstrual and if the humid air is unable to release out, it will cause moisture within the pad and therefore prone to bacteria growth. It will also lead to itchiness, odour and discomfort condition, and even resulting excessive white discharge after menstrual.

Recommended Buy :  With permeability / breathable bottom layer pad

The Source of Gynecological Diseases: Poor Quality Of Sanitary Pad

In the past where sanitary pad does not exist, most women are using cloth during menstruation or the unpolluted paper. Amazingly, there are very few women diseases in that time.

However, with the improvement of living standards and technology advancement, all things are upgraded with increasing human diseases. Why more women today are more prone to gynecological disease? There are many reasons; the usage of the unhygienic sanitary pad is one of the important factor that cause the diseases!

According to World Health Organization (WHO) analysis report, cervical cancer is the world's second most common female cancer. In 2008, an estimated 529,409 new cases and 274,883 deaths!

83% of the adult female genital area is infected, of which 62% is caused by improper usage or choosing the unqualified sanitary pad! Generally, unqualified sanitary pads are made of recycle paper and industrial chemical gum which contains a large number of chemicals and heavy metals. When in contact with human body part, it can easily contaminate the female’s physiological environment and causing harm to the body. Therefore, the selection of a premium quality of sanitary pad is extremely important for women's health.

The Common Mistakes Of Sanitary Pad Usage

Do not wash hands before use
 

Do not change pads regularly

Women Hygiene Level During Menstruation

It is very important to maintain absolute hygienic on the outer part of vagina during menstrual period as bloods that flows out from body will form bacteria after remain in sanitary pad between 15-18 minutes.

For normal sanitary pad, a total of 107 bacteria per sq. cm will be formed after continuously use for 2 hours. The polluted sanitary pad for the timeframe has seriously attacked women health.

There are many symptoms for the infections during women menstruation: mild fever, genital inflammation, skin itches, vagina infections (such as: vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis), excessive white discharge, abdominal pain, nausea, urinary tract infections, cystitis,  frequency and urgency urinary, fatigue, backache, back pain. If not taking care, may lead to serious gynecological diseases.

Why Women Are Vulnerable To Bacteria During Menstruation

Excitement in Cerebral cortex has decreased due to endocrine effects. Immunity is therefore reduced, causing easy infection and expose to diseases.

Dilution of vagina acidity during menstruation is unfavourable to kill bacteria. In addition, nutrition in blood is promoting the growth of microbes.

The opened cervix during menstruation is inviting bacteria from menstrual bloods to flow back to uterus.

The peeling of menstrual endometrium may form some wound which will prone to infection.

5 Main Factors Of Women Menstrual Disorders

1.      Stress

Women who are in reproductive age, when under long-term stress, depression or bad emotion will refrain pituitary function which will cause ovary unable to discharge estrogen and ovulation. Therefore, menstruation will begin to disorder.

2.      Cold

When women caught cold during menstruation, blood vessels in pelvic will contract and it will lead to ovary dysfunction and causing low flow of menstrual or even amenorrhea.

3.      Electrical Waves

Various household appliances and electronic equipment in use will expose electromagnetic waves which will affect the body endocrine and reproductive function of women, causing endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders.

4.      Constipation

Constipation may lead to menstrual disorders. When feces have filled up the rectum space, cervix will have to push forward and uterus will slide backward. If situation continues, the vein in ligament is under huge pressure and unable to flow, causing loss of elasticity, back pain and menstrual disorders.

5.      Abuse of drugs

women who heavily taking antibiotics regularly will cause menstrual disorders, anovulation, amenorrhea. Drugs will suppress and ruin body self immunity
