Skin Sensitivity & Your Cycle
Why Breathability Matters Down There?
KEIANN SANITARY NAPKIN
If you’ve ever experienced itching, redness, or a "burning" sensation during your period, you aren’t alone. Many women assume this discomfort is just a normal part of their cycle, but the truth is often found in the products they use.
Just like babies get diaper rash, adults can experience "pad rash." The secret to avoiding it? Breathability.
The "Sauna Effect": Why Some Pads Irritate
Most traditional sanitary napkins use a plastic-based top sheet or a non-breathable back layer. While these are good at stopping leaks, they act like a plastic bag, trapping heat, sweat, and moisture against your skin.
This creates a "sauna effect" in your most sensitive area, which can lead to:
Contact Dermatitis: Redness and itching caused by friction and trapped moisture.
Bacterial Growth: Warm, damp environments are exactly where bacteria love to grow.
Odor: When moisture can’t evaporate, it can lead to unpleasant smells.
How KeiAnn Protects Your Sensitive Skin
At KeiAnn, we didn't just design our products to absorb; we designed them to breathe. Here is how we prioritize your skin health:
1. Cotton-Soft Top Sheet
We use an ultra-gentle, non-woven top layer that feels like soft fabric. This minimizes friction against your skin, even when you’re walking or exercising, preventing the "chafing" that causes rashes.
2. Micro-Porous Back Sheet
Our napkins and menstrual pants feature "micro-pores"—tiny holes that are too small for liquid to pass through, but large enough to allow heat and vapor to escape. This keeps your skin cool and dry, even on a humid day.
3. No Harsh Chemicals
Sensitive skin reacts to fragrance and harsh bleaches. KeiAnn products are focused on pure, clean protection, ensuring that nothing "extra" is irritating your most delicate areas.
3 Tips to Prevent "Period Rash"
Pat, Don’t Rub: After showering or using the bathroom, gently pat the skin dry. Rubbing can create tiny micro-tears in the skin that become irritated when you put a napkin on.
Choose the Right Size: A pad that is too large can bunch up and cause friction in the folds of your skin. Choose the KeiAnn Ultra-Thin range for a more seamless, movement-friendly fit.
Switch to Menstrual Pants at Night: If you find the "wings" of a napkin irritate your thighs while you sleep, switch to KeiAnn Menstrual Pants. They fit like regular underwear and eliminate the friction caused by adhesive wings.
Experience the Breathable Difference
You don't have to suffer through "pad rash" every month. By switching to a breathable, skin-conscious brand like KeiAnn, you’re giving your skin the fresh air it needs to stay healthy and comfortable.
