1. Wound Care: Sanitary napkins can be used to absorb blood from wounds and prevent blood from leaking through clothing. This makes them useful in first aid kits or emergency situations where bandages or gauze are not available.
2. Incontinence: Pads can also be used to treat incontinence in both men and women. They can be worn under regular underwear to absorb urine and prevent embarrassing leaks.
3. Breastfeeding: Some women experience urine leakage while breastfeeding, especially in the first few weeks of breastfeeding, when milk supply is still building up. Sanitary napkins can help absorb leaks and prevent stains on clothing.
4. Sweat Management: Sanitary napkins can be used to absorb areas where sweat accumulates more, such as under the arms or between the thighs. This is especially helpful in hot and humid weather or during physical activity.
5. Enuresis: Children who suffer from enuresis can use sanitary napkins to absorb urine and avoid frequent changes of bed sheets.
6. Postpartum hemorrhage: After giving birth, women may experience heavy bleeding for a few days or weeks. Sanitary napkins designed specifically for postpartum periods can provide much-needed protection during this time.
7. Hemorrhoids: Sanitary napkins can help control hemorrhoid symptoms by absorbing excess blood and providing cushioning to the affected area.
8. Insect bites: Wet sanitary napkins and apply them to insect bites to help relieve itching and prevent infection.
9. Insoles: Sanitary napkins can serve as makeshift insoles in emergencies. They act as pads, absorb sweat, and keep feet cool and dry.
10. Gardening: When gardening, sanitary napkins can be used to collect and transport seeds, or wet them and place them around plants to provide extra moisture.
