Special features of Negative Ion Sanitary Napkin?

Every Sanitary Napkin comes with a Negative Ion Strip. When the Negative Ion Strip comes into contact with menses, it will send out negative ions which will produce large quantities of oxygen. The oxygen produced will kill the bacteria and viruses it comes into contact with.
Negative ions will move up the womb through the vagina, improving blood circulation. Thus the blood clot stored in the vagina will be discharged more smoothly. The womb can be repaired and improvements can be expected in 3-5 days. Then, inflammation disappears and no smell is left.

Love Moon Negative Ion Sanitary Napkins can effectively restrict the growth and survival of bacteria and viruses, activates metabolism, improves secretion, and increases immunity. They are also effective in adjusting pressure, resisting bacteria, reducing inflammation, reduce odour and removing tiredness.

Each Package of Sanitary Napkins comes with a Self-test Kit. The Self-test card holds a patent rights. It is used mainly for comparing the before and after use of the negative ion sanitary napkin and for the analysis of the health quality of the gentalia. It is suggested to use the Negative Ion Sanitary Napkin together with the self-test card so as to trace any improvement after using.

Vaginal Health

Bacterial Vaginosis

What is bacterial vaginosis (BV)?

The vagina normally has a balance of mostly “good” bacteria and fewer “harmful” bacteria. Bacterial vaginosis, known as BV, develops when the balance changes. With BV, there is an increase in harmful bacteria and a decrease in good bacteria. BV is the most common vaginal infection in women of childbearing age.
 

What causes BV?

Not much is known about how women get BV. Any woman can get BV. But there are certain things that can upset the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina, raising your risk of BV:

• Having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners
• Douching
• Using an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control
• Not using a condom

BV is more common among women who are sexually active, but it is not clear how sex changes the balance of bacteria. You cannot get BV from:

• toilet seats
• bedding
• swimming pools
• touching objects around you

What are the signs of BV? 

Women with BV may have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor. Some women report a strong fish-like odor, especially after sex. The discharge can be white (milky) or gray. It may also be foamy or watery. Other symptoms may include burning when urinating, itching around the outside of the vagina, and irritation. These symptoms may also be caused by another type of infection, so it is important to see a doctor. Some women with BV have no symptoms at all.

How can I find out if I have BV?

There is a test to find out if you have BV. Your doctor takes a sample of fluid from your vagina and has it tested. Your doctor may also see signs of BV during an examination of the vagina. To help your doctor find the signs of BV or other infections:

• Schedule the exam when you do not have your period.
• Don’t douche for at least 24 hours before seeing your doctor. Experts suggest that women do not douche at all.
• Don’t use vaginal deodorant sprays. They might cover odors that are important for diagnosis. It may also lead to irritation.
• Don’t have sex or put objects, such as a tampon, in your vagina for at least 24 hours before going to the doctor.

How is BV treated?

BV is treated with antibiotic medicines prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may give you either metronidazole (met-roh-NIH-duh-zohl) or clindamycin (klin-duh-MY-sin). Generally, male sex partners of women with BV don’t need to be treated. However, BV can be spread to female partners. If your current partner is female, talk to her about treatment. You can get BV again even after being treated.

Is it safe to treat pregnant women who have BV? 

All pregnant women with symptoms of BV should be tested and treated if they have it. This is especially important for pregnant women who have had a premature delivery or low birth weight baby in the past. There are treatments available at any stage of your pregnancy. Be sure to talk to your doctor about what is right for you.

Can BV cause health problems?

In most cases, BV doesn't cause any problems. But some problems can arise if BV is untreated.

• Pregnancy problems. BV can cause premature delivery and low birth weight babies (less than five pounds).
• PID. Pelvic inflammatory disease or PID is an infection that can affect a woman's uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Having BV increases the risk of getting PID after a surgical procedure, such as a hysterectomy or an abortion.
• Higher risk of getting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Having BV can raise your risk of HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Women with HIV who get BV are also more likely to pass HIV to a sexual partner.

How can I lower my risk of BV? 

Experts are still figuring out the best way to prevent BV. But there are steps you can take to lower your risk.

• Help keep your vaginal bacteria balanced. Wash your vagina and anus every day with mild soap. When you go to the bathroom, wipe from your vagina to your anus. Keep the area cool by wearing cotton or cotton-lined underpants. Avoid tight pants and skip the pantyhose in summer.
• Don't douche. Douching removes some of the normal bacteria in the vagina that protects you from infection. This may raise your risk of BV. It may also make it easier to get BV again after treatment.
• Have regular pelvic exams. Talk with your doctor about how often you need exams, as well as STI tests.
• Finish your medicine. If you have BV, finish all the medicine your doctor gives you to treat it. Even if the symptoms go away, you still need to finish all of the medicine.

Practicing safe sex is also very important. Below are ways to help protect yourself.

• Don’t have sex. The best way to prevent any STI is to not have vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
• Be faithful. Having sex with just one partner can also lower your risk. Be faithful to each other. That means that you only have sex with each other and no one else.
• Use condoms. Protect yourself with a condom EVERY time you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Condoms should be used for any type of sex with every partner. For vaginal sex, use a latex male condom or a female polyurethane condom. For anal sex, use a latex male condom. For oral sex, use a condom or a dental dam. A dental dam is a rubbery material that can be placed over the anus or the vagina before sexual contact.
• Talk with your sex partner(s) about STIs and using condoms. It’s up to you to make sure you are protected. Remember, it’s YOUR body! For more information, call the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at (800) 232-4636.
• Talk frankly with your doctor or nurse and your sex partner(s) about any STIs you or your partner(s) have or had. Talk about any discharge in the genital area. Try not to be embarrassed.

Negative Ion

Test Methods  for Anion (Negative ion)

There are two types of method to test for anions: the ‘dynamic tests’ and ‘static tests’. For the anionic tape produced by Winalite International, the density of the anions it emits has to be ascertained using the dynamic test. At the time of designing the patent technology, the ‘Wave Model’ method of anion production was adopted in consideration of the woman’s physical characteristics and the product usage. Under this model, anions are produced through friction. The nation’s authority in tests and assessments, the Shanghai Textile Industry Technical Supervisory Institute, has conducted many rounds of dynamic tests on the anionic sanitary napkins from Winalite International and proved that the anions emitted can reach 6.070 per cc, indicating that the actual effect from the use of the product had complied with the test standard.

Another type of test method is the static test. This involves using an equipment to detect the rays produced by the material (this way of anion production is called ‘Beam Model’) and indirectly reflect the anion production capacity. This method is used for accurate tests on solids such as mineral rocks. For the same reason, the anion contents at the beach, in the forest and among the mountains cannot be tested by using the static method.

Negative Ion (Anion) 

The Benefits of Negative Ion (Anion) to Health

All living things in the world are related to 'anions' (or negative ions). Do you know anions?

Under normal circumstances, the air molecules or atoms are neutral. Due to natural ionization caused by cosmic rays, ultraviolet rays, micro radiation, lightning and thunder etc, some air molecules will lose some electrons that were orbiting around the nucleus and these free electrons with negative charge will combine with other neutral air molecules to make them negatively charged. These are the negative ions in the air. 

They are colourless, odorless and have strong absorption capability to absorb micro particles in the air to remove dust and bacteria. Anions in the air are as important as vitamins in the food and are given such nice names as ‘air vitamin’, ‘longevity element’, ‘air scavenger’ etc.

Anions have special significance to human health. Their effects should not be underestimated. They can have extraordinary absorption capability to gather the dust particles, bacteria and virus which are normally of positive charge and neutralize them. They can enter the cells of the bacteria to kill off the bacteria. More anions in the air would mean fewer bacteria and when the concentration of anions reaches a certain level, the number of bacteria would be reduced to zero.

The number of anions in a cubic centimeter (cc) of air is 40 to 50 in the urban residential area, 100 to 200 above the urban area, 700 to 1,000 in the field and more than 5,000 in the valley. The number of anions in the air can impact on human health. If the air has too high a content of positive ions and too few anions, then the human body may develop symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, migraine, depression and shortness of breath, but these could be rapidly relieved if air with 1,200 anions per cc is taken in by the body. If the anion content of indoor air is raised to 1,500 per cc, it can improve the mood of those who stay in the room so that they can work better with higher efficiency. Therefore, anion content is an essential factor for human health and longevity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has specified that the anion content in the air should not be lower than 1,000 per cc. In certain types of environment (such as the mountainous area), the inhabitants are free from troubles of inflammation and generally live longer. This is obviously related to the fact that the air there contains abundant anions.

The positive effects of anions in the field of medical healthcare have in recent years attracted extensive attention worldwide. After many years of research, Winalite Technology Co. Limited of Shenzhen had successfully developed the healthcare sanitary napkin to turn this ordinary product into one with high value added and high-tech content, making it possible to be granted national patents. The anionic tape in ‘Love Moon’ sanitary napkin can emit 6,070 anions per cc to effectively inhibit the survival and duplication of bacteria and virus, which are the causes of vaginitis. Almost all types of female genital inflammation are caused by anaerobic bacteria. When the anionic tape in ‘Love Moon’ sanitary napkin emits high density of anions, it also produces abundant ionized oxygen to fundamentally change the anaerobic environment, promote biological enzymic transformation and balance the acidity and alkalinity. At the same time, under normal temperature, it can emit biological magnetic wave of wavelength 4 to 14 micron at more than 90% emission rate which is beneficial to the human body as it can activate the water molecules in the cells to make them exist at high energy level suitable for synthesis of biological enzymes. This is therefore a purely physical process to achieve the antibacterial and deodorization functions, to care for the woman’s health through technology and to benefit all women.

Menstruation

What is Menstruation?

Menstruation is the cyclic occurrence of uterine bleeding that occurs near the end of puberty in girls. Typically, first periods occur around age 12 or 13. However, some girls begin having periods as young as 8 or 9 years old, while others may be as old as 15 or 16. If menarche does not occur by the time a girl reaches the age of 16, she should see her doctor for evaluation. Menstruation usually begins about 2 1/2 years after girls begin developing breasts, and growing pubic and underarm hair.

Once menstruation begins, it continues until menopause occurs around the age of 50 when monthly menstrual cycles end. Surgical menopause occurs following removal of the ovaries during hysterectomy. Menstruation also temporarily stops during pregnancy. Hormonal contraceptives also stop normal menstruation and can safely be used to stop periods indefinitely or until pregnancy is desired. If menstruation fails to occur for any other reason, amenorrhea occurs. Amenorrhea is a menstrual cycle disorder.

For the most part, the menstrual cycle occurs predictably and without problems. However, when things don’t go right -– when you experience heavy or excessive bleeding, when your period doesn’t occur when expected, when you have physical or emotional symptoms during the weeks before you menstruation, or when you experience painful periods or other symptoms –- you may have a menstrual cycle disorder. 

Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common menstrual cycle disorder that includes several types of abnormal bleeding, including amenorrhea. Other menstrual cycle disorders include dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome or PMS, premenstrual dysphoric disorder or PMDD, and uterine fibroid tumors. Other factors that may affect normal menstruation include stress, illness, exercise, diet and nutrition, and work, family, and relationship issues.

What Causes the Menstrual Cycle and Menstruation? 

Your endocrine system produces hormones that work together with your reproductive organs to cause the menstrual cycle and menstruation when conception does not occur. The glands of the endocrine system produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions such as blood sugar levels, metabolism, and reproduction. The menstrual cycle occurs in distinct phases during which hormones cause the changes that prepare the uterus to sustain a pregnancy, and to cause menstruation when pregnancy does not occur.

How Often Does Normal Menstruation Occur?

The average menstrual cycle is 28 days and women menstruate, on average, about five to seven days during each cycle. The first day, or Day 1, of the menstrual cycle is the first day any bleeding occurs, even if it’s just spotting. It’s a good idea to use a calendar to keep track of your menstrual cycle. Tracking your periods and any symptoms that occur during the menstrual cycle can help your physician diagnose any problems that may occur. 

How Much Blood Loss is Normal during Menstruation?  

You might be surprised to learn that, while it might often seem like much more, the total amount of blood lost during menstruation is only a few tablespoons. You may be experiencing excessive bleeding if you have to change pads or tampons every hour or so for several hours in a row. Contact your health-care provider if you experience excessive bleeding during your period. 

What to Tell Your Doctor about Your Period?

When your first period occurs, make sure to inform your doctor. From that point on throughout your reproductive years, your doctor appointments should include notation of the first day of your last period. Having a menstrual cycle calendar helps you to remember this information when asked. Other things you should tell your doctor about your period include:

• Having irregular, excessive, or other types abnormal bleeding
• Experiencing severe cramps during menstruation that is not relieved by OTC pain-killers, or experiencing pelvic pain that is unrelated to menstruation
• Not having periods
• Having menstrual cycles that are less than 21 days, or more than 35 days apart
• Anything about your period, or menstrual cycle, that seems abnormal for you

 

Tip: Girls often have irregular periods during the first few years after menstruation begins. It’s completely normal to have irregular periods while your body adjusts to all the physical and emotional changes that occur during adolescence.

Feminine Hygiene

Yeast Infection and Its Causes

Yeast infections can also be caused by a number of other factors. One of these includes low immune system. Compromised immune system provides a breeding ground for yeast fungus. This usually happens when a person fails to rest and sleep enough or the person is dealing with a lot of stressful situations.

Hormonal changes can also cause yeast infections and they occur mostly in pregnant women and during menstruation. Birth control pills have been identified as the major cause of recurrent yeast infections in women.

We cannot refer Candidiasis as a sexually transmitted disease. However, there are chances of a male contracting the disease from his bed partner if she is already a victim of the disease. Therefore it is important to have safe sexual intercourse with adequate lubrication.

Many people have seen that prolonged use of antibiotics causes yeast infections. Infections arising due to the use of antibiotics cannot be prevented but there are many ways in which you can cure the disease.

Another most common cause of yeast infection is diabetes. In diabetic people, the blood sugar level is always high and this kind of environment is preferred by the yeast fungus to thrive and multiply. The elevated sugar levels provide a favorable ground for Candida albicans to multiply extensively and cause infections.

Other common causes in women are; use of scented hygiene products, feminine spray and douching. Wearing tight clothes creates a moist and warm atmosphere for Candida to multiply and attack the host.

It is always better to prevent yeast infections rather than looking for cure when it has already infected you. To prevent it from happening, it is important to understand the cause of it and the things you should be doing to keep such nasty infections at bay.
