When tested for absorbency, colored water, oxalated sheep or goat blood, or test fluid should be applied to the center of the sanitary napkin at a rate of 15 milliliters per minute. The test technique should only be used as a guide.
Women use sanitary napkins throughout their menstruation. For a predetermined amount of hours, these napkins absorb the blood discharge without spilling. They must be disposed of following the single usage for which they are intended. They cannot be reused.
Towels are an essential part of any woman’s life. They can definitely lessen the difficulties related to vaginal discharge, even though they cannot lessen the discomfort that occurs with menstruation. Sanitary napkins are a must for ladies, but they must be of the highest caliber to prevent leaks and discomfort.
The Bureau of Indian Standards has developed stringent guidelines to guarantee high-quality sanitary napkins. The standards and guidelines that sanitary napkin producers must follow are described in full in IS 5405.
There is an absorbent filler in every sanitary napkin, such as cotton, tissues, cellulose pulp, and cellulose wadding. We inspect these filters to make sure there are no foreign pollutants, lumps, or oil stains.
The substance that lets the discharge enter the absorbent fillers is their coating. It must be permeable. The coverings are primarily made of cotton, gauze, and non-woven textiles. They ought to be sanitary and spotless as well.
Sanitary napkins of the same size are not necessary for every woman. Petite ladies need smaller napkins, whereas tall and broad women need larger ones. Greater pads are needed for those who flow heavily than for others. Therefore, sanitary napkins come in three different sizes: ordinary, large, and extra-large. Certain parameters, such as length, breadth, and width, correspond to each size. A sample of ten pads of the same size are measured in order to test the pad sizes, and the average is computed. The pads are accepted for usage provided their dimensions meet IS 5405 requirements; if not, they are refused.
Disposable materials ought to be used to make sanitary napkins. They are placed in a container with fifteen liters of water and agitated for that purpose. When disposable pads are put to the test, they break down.
Sanitary napkins can be tested using IS 5405 standards to make sure they serve their intended purpose without leaking or irritating users.
