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.
