SORBENT IRRITATION: SYMPTOMS

How do you recognize an irritation from an external absorbent ? Generally the symptoms are:

  • persistent itching , which can last up to a few days;
  • redness of the skin, especially if you cannot last more than a few hours without scratching;
  • red and white spots or blisters or pimples on the skin, located on the large or small lips or on the clitoris, which can also turn into blisters or peeling;
  • inflammation or tenderness of the vulvo-vaginal area could indicate a situation of this type.

However, these are fairly generic symptoms and can also be traced back to other disorders or infections, such as Candida, so it is best to avoid doing it yourself and talk to a trusted specialist – be it a gynecologist, a general practitioner or a pharmacist – to evaluate what is best to do.

 

CAUSES AND FACTORS FAVORING SORBENT IRRITATION

As we mentioned above, there are several elements that could cause irritation or contact dermatitis in the private parts:

  • hygiene products, cleansing soaps and deodorant sprays, which are too aggressive or used too frequently can alter the balance of the vaginal bacterial flora, making it more vulnerable;
  • some types of colored or scented toilet paper may contain chemicals that are irritating to the most sensitive skin;
  • tights and underwear in synthetic fabrics block the transpiration of the skin, creating an environment more suitable for the proliferation of ‘bad’ bacteria, while clothing that is too tight is irritating due to the continued rubbing that occurs when wearing them for many hours a day.

There is also another factor to consider to explain why the irritation in those days, and it concerns the vaginal pH. Physiologically it tends to be acidic, suitable for the life of ‘good’ bacteria, while menstrual blood has a different, more basic pH. This naturally leads to an alteration of the vaginal environment, which exposes small imbalances of the bacterial flora. In addition, the opening of the cervix that occurs to allow menstrual blood to drain out of the body can facilitate the upwelling of bacteria into the vagina.

SORBENT IRRITATION: THE REMEDIES

How to cure sorbent irritation? Having ascertained that this is the triggering cause of the symptoms, it is precisely from the choice and use of sanitary pads that you can start to protect the skin from irritation. The aspects to pay attention to are mainly two: the presence of potentially irritating synthetic components, and the breathability of the materials in contact with the skin. The new range of  LINES cotton padswas born precisely to meet these two needs. Approved by AOGOI gynecologists (Association of Italian Hospital Obstetricians and Gynecologists), it is complete with day and night pads, panty liners and tampons. Thanks to the 100% cotton filter, cotton will be the only material in contact with the skin, and its natural breathability helps to keep the intimate environment drier and cleaner. In addition, the softness of cotton reduces the occurrence of chafing. Given that all LINES pads are hypoallergenic and designed to respect the natural balance of the skin, in case of ongoing irritation, a good alternative to cotton is the LINES Petalo Blu range. . Made with innovative materials, it is soft like cotton and has an extremely smooth to the touch, breathable and fresh filter that limits the friction between the absorbent and the skin.

Once you have chosen the right absorbents for sensitive skin, it is important to remember to change them often during the day to avoid altering the pH of the skin which can promote bacterial proliferation, even when you are away from home for many hours and commitments they chase each other in a frenzy. Basically it is a small but important precaution to avoid irritation and itching due to absorbent.

In case of sorbent irritation , the remedies also concern intimate hygiene and what we wear. The ‘ hygiene should not be exaggerated but accurate, especially during menstruation (when flux residues could hide in the folds of skin), and during the hot season (when even the sweat can make it worse), and it is important to dry the skin before getting dressed. For intimate cleansing, it is advisable to alternate between an active cleanser and a soothing one, which can help make the symptoms of irritation less annoying.

As for fabrics in contact with the skin , however, underwear and clothing in cotton are undoubtedly the ideal choice over synthetic fibers, however comfortable they may be. Also beware of clothes that are too tight: for a few days, leave your skinny jeans in the closet and opt for softer pants or wide skirts, to avoid chafing.
