Ndingumntu ozinikele ekusebenziseni indebe yokuya exesheni iminyaka emithathu. Ukuqala kwam, bekukho uhlobo olunye okanye ezimbini zokukhetha kuzo kwaye hayi itoni yolwazi malunga nokwenza utshintsho kwiitampon. Ngokuzama okuninzi kunye neempazamo (kwaye, i-TBH, ubumdaka obumbalwa), ndifumene iindlela ezindisebenzelayo. Ngoku, ndithandana nokusebenzisa indebe yokuya exesheni. Ndiyazi: Ukuthandana nemveliso yexesha kuyothusa, kodwa ke silapha.

Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, ishishini lexesha libone (kudala lilindelwe) ukunyuka kweemveliso ezintsha ezingena kwindawo yentengiso- kunye nenqanaba lendebe yokuya exesheni, ngokukodwa. (Nokuba iTampax yenza iikomityi zokuya exesheni ngoku!)

Oko kwathethi, ukwenza utshintsho akukho lula. Kwiphulo lokubonelela ngesikhokelo sendebe yokuya exesheni endingazange ndibenayo kwaye bendiyifuna ngamandla, ndaye ndaya ku-Instagram ukuze ndibanike imibuzo yabantu, inkxalabo kunye noloyiko malunga nokusebenzisa indebe yokuya exesheni. Ndizaliswe ngamanzi ngeempendulo ezisusela kwinto elula ("ndiyifaka njani?") Ukuya kwezintsonkothileyo ("ndingayisebenzisa nangona ndine-endometriosis?"). Owona mbuzo ubuzwa kakhulu? "Uyitshintsha njani emsebenzini?"

Lixesha lokuba ulahle i-TMI emoyeni kwaye uzame indebe yokuya exesheni. Cinga ngesi sikhokelo sakho sipheleleyo kwiikomityi zokuya exesheni, kunye nokuqonda okuvela kuzo zombini iingcali kunye nabasebenzisi beekomityi zokugubungela yonke into onokufuna ukuyazi malunga nokusebenzisa (kunye nokuthanda) indebe yakho yokuya exesheni.

Yintoni indebe yokuya exesheni, kunjalo?

Ikomityi yokuya exesheni yi-silicone encinci okanye isitya se-latex esifakwe ngaphakathi kwilungu lobufazi xa usexesheni. Indebe isebenza ngokuqokelela (endaweni yokufunxa) igazi kwaye, ngokungafaniyo neepads okanye iitampon, isixhobo sinokucocwa kwaye sisetyenziswe kwakhona kwimijikelezo emininzi ngaphambi kokufuna ukutshintshwa.

Ngenxa yokuba ayifunxisi, akukho mngcipheko umncinci wesifo sokudakumba esinetyhefu (TSS), utshilo uJennifer Wu, MD, ob-gyn kwisibhedlele iLenox Hill kwisiXeko saseNew York. Nangona kunqabile kakhulu ukuba ufumane i-TSS, ucebisa ukuba ususe kwaye ukhuphe ikomityi yakho yokuya exesheni rhoqo kwiiyure ezisi-8 ukuze ube kwicala elikhuselekileyo. (Uninzi lweenkampani zekomityi yokuya exesheni zithi inokunxitywa iiyure ezili-12.)

Kwakhona kubalulekile: Qiniseka ukuba uhlamba izandla zakho phambi kokubeka ikomityi kwaye uhlambulule indebe phakathi kokusebenzisa.

Ziziphi iingenelo zokutshintshela kwikomityi yokuya exesheni?

Ngelixa ubufazi buzihlamba ngokwakho, iimveliso zexesha elinokuba lityala lokungonwabi kwilungu lobufazi. Xa ufaka itampon, umqhaphu ufunxa incindi yokukhusela yelungu lobufazi kunye negazi, elibangela ukoma nokuphazamisa amanqanaba e-pH aqhelekileyo. Amanqanaba e-pH amabi anokuba negalelo kwivumba, ukucaphuka, kunye nosulelo. (Funda ngakumbi malunga noku apha: Izizathu ezi-6 zokuNuka kwakho Ubufazi) Ikomityi yokuya exesheni ayizinzanga kwaye ke ayinakufane ibangele ukucaphuka okanye ukoma. (Funda ngakumbi malunga nokuba kutheni iBacteria yakho yangasese ibalulekile kwiMpilo yakho.)

Ikomityi inokunxitywa ngaphezulu kweeyure ezilandelelanayo kuneetoni, ekufuneka isetyenziswe kwelona xesha lisezantsi lokufumana kwaye itshintshe iiyure ezine ukuya kwezisibhozo. Kukwangaphantsi kwesithintelo kwimisebenzi yakho yemihla ngemihla kuneepads. (Ukuqubha? IYoga? Akukho ngxaki!)

Kodwa ezona zibonelelo zibonakalayo zekomityi yokuya exesheni kukukwazi ukuphinda uyisebenzise. Imveliso yokuya exesheni engalahlwayo iya isiba ngokubaluleka, utshilo uGqirha Wu. "Isixa senkunkuma esihambelana ne-napkins yococeko kunye neetamponi ngumba omkhulu wokusingqongileyo." Ukuphambukisa inkunkuma yexesha ukusuka kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma kunokuba nefuthe elikhulu lokusingqongileyo kubomi bakho bonke; Ixesha leenkampani zangaphantsi Thinx uqikelela ukuba umfazi oqhelekileyo usebenzisa iitoni ezili-12 lamawaka, iiphedi, kunye neepenile ngexesha lobomi bakhe (!!).

Kulungile, kodwa iikomityi zokuya exesheni ziyabiza?

Ngaphandle kwezibonelelo zokusingqongileyo, kukho izinto ezizezemali nazo. Ukuba i-avareji umfazi usebenzisa malunga 12 lamawaka tampons kunye nebhokisi 36 Tampax Pearl kaThixo okwangoku ixabisa $7, oko malunga $2,300 ebomini bakho. Indebe yokuya exesheni ixabisa i-30-40 yeedola kwaye inokuhlala naphi na ukusuka kunyaka omnye ukuya kweli-10 kuxhomekeke kwinkampani nakwizinto ezisetyenzisiweyo. Imali egcinwe ngokutshintshela indebe yenziwe emva kwemijikelezo embalwa yokusetyenziswa. (Idibeneyo: Ngaba ngokwenene uyafuna ukuthenga iiTampon ze-Organic?)

Uyikhetha njani ikomityi yokuya exesheni?

Ngelishwa ukufumana indebe esebenza kakuhle kuwe kuthatha uvavanyo kunye nempazamo; Nangona kunjalo, ngeemveliso ezininzi kunye neentlobo kwiimarike, uya kufumana ukufaneleka kwakho. "Izinto ezimbalwa ekufuneka uzigcine engqondweni xa ukhetha indebe yokuya exesheni ingaba yiminyaka yakho (ngesiqhelo, abafazi abancinci bayakufuna ikomityi encinci), amava okuzalwa angaphambili, ukuhamba sexesheni, kunye nenqanaba lomsebenzi," utshilo uTangela Anderson-Tull, MD, ob-gyn kwiziko lonyango iMercy eBaltimore, MD.

Uninzi lweekomityi zekomityi zineesayizi ezimbini (ezifana neTampax, iCora, kunye neLunette) kodwa ezinye zinezintathu okanye ngaphezulu (njengeDiva Cup kunye neSaalt). I-Saalt yenza ikomityi ethambileyo, inguqulelo engagungqiyo yekomityi yeklasikhi, kubukhulu obubini kubantu abafumana ubuntununtunu besinyi, isampulu, okanye ukungonwabi ngeekomityi zesiko. Isilicone ethambileyo yenza kube nzima ukuyifaka kuba ayiveli ngokungavuleki ngaphandle komthungo kodwa uyilo luyathandeka kubantu abanovelwano kwiikomityi eziqinileyo.

Umgaqo oqhelekileyo wesithupha: Iindebe zentsha ziya kuba zincinci (kwaye zihlala zibhalwe ubungakanani 0), abasetyhini abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-30 okanye abangazalanga baya kuba bubungakanani obulandelayo (obuhlala bubizwa bincinci okanye ubungakanani 1), kunye nabasetyhini abangaphezulu kweminyaka engama-30 okanye abazele umntwana bangabukhulu besithathu (rhoqo okanye ubungakanani 2). Kodwa ukuba unompompolo onzima okanye umlomo wesibeleko ophezulu (aka ikomityi iya kufuna ukuba ibe nkulu ukufikelela kude), ngoko unokuthanda ubungakanani obukhulu nangona ungafanelanga ezo ndlela eziqhelekileyo.

Ikomityi nganye yahlukile ngokobubanzi kunye nokumila (kanye njengelungu lobufazi ngalinye lahlukile!), Ngoko zama enye kwimijikelo embalwa, kwaye ukuba ayikhululekanga okanye ikusebenzele, zama uphawu olwahlukileyo. Kubonakala ngathi kuyabiza ngaphambili, kodwa imali oza kuyigcina kwiitampon iya kulungela utyalo-mali lwakho ekuhambeni kwexesha. (Ukwenza inkqubo ibe lula, iwebhusayithi ibeka iNdebe kuyo Yenze imibuzo enemibuzo esithoba yokukukhokela ekukhetheni ikomityi esekwe kwizinto ezinje ngenqanaba lomsebenzi, ukuhamba, kunye nokubekwa komlomo wesibeleko.)

Uyifaka njani ikomityi yokuya exesheni? Wazi njani ukuba uyenzile ngokuchanekileyo?

Xa ibekwe ngokuchanekileyo, ikomityi yokuya esikhathini ihlala kwindawo ngokudala itywina phakathi kwendebe kunye nodonga lobufazi. Kukho iitoni zeevidiyo eziluncedo kwiYouTube ezibonisa iindlela zokufaka (zihlala zinemizobo okanye kusetyenziswa ibhotile yamanzi ukumela ubufazi). Ixesha lokuqala lokuzama ukufaka indebe, qiniseka ukuba awungxami uphume ngomnyango. Mhlawumbi ungayenza ngaphambi kokulala ngeglasi yewayini okanye itshokholethi ekufikeleleni (kumvuzo wokubeka indebe, kunjalo).

1. Ukuphefumla nzulu. Isinyathelo sokuqala sisincinci se-origami. Zimbini izinto ezisongekileyo zokuzama ukuzama- "C" phinda kunye no "Punch Down" fold - kodwa kukho ezinye iiyantlukwano ezininzi ukuba enye yezi ayisebenzi. Kugobe u-"C" (okwabizwa ngokuba ngu-"U"), cinezela amacala ekomityi kunye, uze uphinde ube phakathi kwakhona ukuze wenze i-C shape. Kwigonga elithi "Punch Down", beka umnwe kwirim yekomityi kwaye utyhale de umphetho ubethe kumbindi wesiseko ukwenza unxantathu. Gcwalisa kwisiqingatha ngokuhambisa iminwe yakho ngaphandle kwaye udibanise macala ndawonye. Injongo kukwenza rim incinci ukuze ifakwe. (Ingcebiso yePro: Kulunge ngakumbi ukufaka ukuba indebe imanzi, nokuba kungamanzi okanye i-lube ekhuselekileyo ye-silicone.)
2. Usebenzisa indlela oyithandayo, songa ikomityi, emva koko ubambe amacala ngobhontsi wakho kunye nomnwe wakho wangaphambili ngesiqu esijonge entendeni yakho. Ndikufumanise kulula ukubamba ukungcola ukuba uhlala uhleli ukufakwa, ukususwa kunye nokukhutshwa, kodwa abanye bafumana ithamsanqa elingcono ngokuma okanye ukuqhekeza.
3. Ukwindawo etofotofo, nezihlunu zakho zelungu lobufazi zikhululekile, yahlula ngobunono i-labia ngesandla sakho esikhululekileyo kwaye utyibilikise ikomityi esongiweyo uyibuyisele kwilungu lobufazi bakho.Endaweni yokunyuka okuphezulu njenge tampon, uya kufuna ukujolisa ngokuthe tye ngakumsila wakho. Ikomityi ihlala ngaphantsi kwetamponi kodwa inokufakwa ngaphakathi ngaphakathi ukuba ikhululekile ngakumbi emzimbeni wakho.
4. Nje ukuba indebe ime, yeka amacala kwaye uwavumele ukuba avule. Jika ngobunono indebe ngokucofa isiseko (hayi nje ukubamba isiqu), ukuqinisekisa ukuba senza itywina. Ekuqaleni, kunokufuneka ujikeleze umnwe emphethweni wendebe ukujonga imiphetho esongiweyo (ithetha ukuba ayikhange lenze itywina) kodwa njengoko ukhululeka ngakumbi kwinkqubo, uya kukwazi ukuva Umahluko.
5. Uyazi ukuba indebe ikhona xa ibhalbhu yonke ingaphakathi kwaye unokuchukumisa nje isiqu ngomnwe. (Ukuba kuninzi kakhulu okukhuphayo, unokusisika isikhondo sibe mfutshane.) Akufunekanga ungayiva ikomityi kwaye akufuneki kubekho uxinzelelo kwisinyi sakho (ukuba kunjalo, inokufakwa phezulu kakhulu). Ngokufana netampon, uyakuqonda ukuba imveliso ingaphakathi kuwe kodwa ayifanelanga ukuba buhlungu okanye ibonakale.

Uya kuziva ngathi yi-rockstar xa uphumelela kwaye ekugqibeleni iba yinto yendalo njengokutshintsha i-tampon.

Uyisusa njani?

Xa indebe igcwele (ngelishwa, akukho ndlela iqaphelekayo "yokuxela" de ufunde ixesha lakho ngcono) okanye ukulungele ukuyikhupha, cofa isiseko sendebe ngesithupha sakho kunye nomnwe wesalathiso ude uzive okanye yiva itywina pop. Sukutsala nje isiqu (!!!); "isatywiniwe" kwilungu lakho lobufazi, ngoko ke utsala ukufunxa ngaphakathi emzimbeni wakho. Qhubeka ubambe isiseko njengoko ushukumisa ngobunono ikomityi phantsi.

Ukugcina indebe ime nkqo njengoko ususa kuya kuthintela ukuchitheka. Nje ukuba uyikhuphele ngaphandle, yithulule imixholo kwisinki okanye kwindlu yangasese. Ngelixa ikomityi ayikwazi ukulahleka emzimbeni, ngamanye amaxesha iyatshintsha kakhulu ukuze ufumane ngeminwe yakho. Musa ukothuka, vele ujonge phantsi ngokungathi uhambisa amathumbu de ikomityi ityibilike iye apho ukwaziyo ukufikelela khona. (Ingcebiso yePro: Unako uku-squat ngelixa uhlamba ukuze ususe kwaye uphinde ufake ngokulula.)

Ngaba iyavuza? Kuthekani ukuba unendawo enzima yokuhamba?

Xa ifakwe ngokuchanekileyo (indebe yenze itywina kunye neendonga zangasese kwaye akukho miphetho isongwayo), ayizukuvuza ngaphandle kokuba iyaphuphuma. Ndithembe: Ndivavanye imida kwiintlanga ezininzi zendlela, ii-yoga inversions, kunye neentsuku ezinde eofisini. Ikomityi encinci yokuya exesheni iphethe iisampulu zegazi ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu, kwaye rhoqo kubamba ezintathu ukuya kwezine iitampon ezixabisekileyo. Kuxhomekeke ekuphumeni kwakho, unokufuna ukuba utshintshe rhoqo ngaphezulu kweeyure ezili-12. (Ukuba uyivile intsomi, hayi, akukubi ukwenza ii-yoga inversions kwixesha lakho.)

Mna, ngeentsuku ze-1 kunye ne-2 yexesha lam, kufuneka nditshintshe phakathi kwemini, kodwa ukuqala usuku lwe-3 kude kube sekupheleni kwexesha lam, ndingahamba iiyure ezili-12 ezipheleleyo ngaphandle kokufuna ukukhathazeka. Ekuqaleni, unokufumana intuthuzelo ngokusebenzisa iphedi okanye ipanty liner njenge-backup. Kuba ungayigcina iphantse yaxabisa iitamponi ezintathu, ndifumanise ukuba ndivuza kancinci xa nditshintshela kwikomityi. Usengayisebenzisa ikomityi ukuba unokuhamba kokukhanya kodwa unokufuna ukumanzisa ikomityi ukunceda ngokufaka. Qiniseka ukuba uyayisusa kwaye uyikhuphe rhoqo, nokuba ikomityi yakho ayigcwele.

Elinye lawona maxesha makhulu okuvula amehlo iya kuba kukufezekiswa kwento yokuba wopha kangakanani usuku ngalunye kunye nomjikelo ngamnye wexesha lakho. Inqaku: incinci kakhulu kuneetampon eziza kwenza ukuba ukholwe. Abanye abantu banakho ukuhamba imini yonke kwaye bangaze bayitshintshe, ngelixa abanye banokulahla kwaye baphinde bafake kwigumbi lokuhlambela eofisini (ngaphezulu kule ingezantsi). Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, njengoko unxiba indebe yokuya exesheni, uya kuqala ukuqonda ngcono umjikelo wakho ukuze wenze ezo zigqibo.

Utshintsha njani emsebenzini okanye esidlangalaleni?

Owona mqobo mkhulu (emva kokufunda ukuba ungayifaka njani), lixesha lokuqala ekufuneka ukhuphe ikomityi emsebenzini (okanye kwenye indawo esidlangalaleni).

1. Uyakhumbula ukuba kwakunzima kangakanani ukufunda ukusebenzisa iitamponi? Uwoyisile lo mqobo nawe (kwaye, ubukhulu becala, kubudala obuncinci kunye nobusemngciphekweni kakhulu, ndinokongeza).
2. Susa ikomityi ulahle imixholo kwindlu yangasese. Akukho sidingo sokutsala ibhulukhwe yakho, ungene kwisinki kwaye uhlambe ikomityi ngobulumko; gcina elo nyathelo ukwenzela ubumfihlo begumbi lakho lokuhlambela.
3. Endaweni yokuba itampon-imfihlo-isiliphu ungene epokothweni, zisa I-DeoDoc yeDeowipes esondeleyo (Yithenge, $ 15, deodoc.com) okanye Ehlotyeni ukuCoca iingubo (Yithenge, $ 8 ye-16, amazon.com). Ndifumene ukuba ukusebenzisa le pH-balanced, ukusula i-vaginal ukucoca ngaphandle kwendebe ngundoqo kumava angasese oluntu.
4. Phinda ufake ikomityi njengesiqhelo, emva koko usebenzise okuseleyo ukucoca iminwe yakho. Ndithembe, ukusula kungcono kakhulu kunokuba uzame ukusebenzisa iphepha elinephepha elincinci lendlu yangasese ukwenza lo msebenzi. Phuma kwindawo yokuthengisela, hlamba izandla zakho, kwaye uqhubeke nosuku lwakho.

Nje ukuba ukhululeke kakhulu ngokususa kunye nokufaka ikomityi, enokuthi ithathe amaxesha ambalwa okanye imijikelo embalwa, ilula ngolo hlobo.

Ngaba unokunxiba iikomityi zokuya exesheni ngelixa usenza umthambo?

Ewe! Ibala lokuzilolonga kulapho ikomityi yokuya exesheni ikhanya ngokwenene. Akukho zintambo zokuzifihla xa udada, akukho tampon yokutshintsha ngexesha lomdyarho wonyamezelo, kunye nethuba elincinci lokuvuza ngexesha lokuma kwentloko. Ndibalekile, ndikhwele ibhayisekile, ndaza ndaqhekeza kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo kungekho xesha lokwenza umthambo. Ukuba usenexhala, ndincoma ukutyala imali kwizibini ezimbalwa zeThinx Undies. Izinto ezinokuhlanjwa, ezinokuphinda zisebenze zizinike ukhuseleko, ngakumbi ngexesha lokuzilolonga kakhulu okanye kwiintsuku ezinzima. (Ibhonasi eyongeziweyo: UkuDiba iiTampons kunokukwenza ube lula ukuba uye kwijim)

Uyicoca njani?

Emva kokususwa ngakunye, uyilahla indebe, uyihlambe ngamanzi, kwaye uyicoce ngesepha emnene, engenasiphene okanye isicoci sexesha elithile, njenge Ukuhlamba iSaalt Citrus Menstrual Cup (Thenga it, $ 13; target.com) Ekupheleni kwexesha ngalinye, coca ngesepha efanayo, emva koko ubilise ikomityi kangangemizuzu emihlanu ukuya kwesixhenxe ukuphinda uhlaziye. Ukuba ikomityi yakho iba nombala, unokusula nge-70-pesenti ye-isopropyl alcohol. Ukuthintela ukubola kombala, vasa ngamanzi abandayo ngalo lonke ixesha ukhupha indebe.

Ndine-IUD — ndingasebenzisa ikomityi yokuya exesheni?

Ukuba uhlawula imali engabalulekanga ukuba ufake i-IUD (intra-uterine device, indlela yexesha elide yolawulo lokuzalwa), ufuna ihlale ihleli. I-tampon yinto enye, kodwa indebe yokuya esikhathini kunye nokutsala iindonga zakho zangasese? Ewe, oko kuvakala kuyakrokrisa.

Ewe, ungoyiki: Ilayibrari yeSizwe yaseMelika yoNyango lweSizwe kwiZiko lezeMpilo kwi-IUD kunye neendlela zendlela (iiphedi, iitampu, kunye neekomityi zokuya exesheni) yafumanisa ukuba, nokuba yeyiphi na indlela esetyenzisiweyo, akukho mahluko kumazinga okugxothwa kwangoko yee-IUDs. Oko kuthetha ukuba abasebenzisi beekomityi zokuya exesheni babengenakho ukubangaphezulu kwabasebenzisi beetampon okanye iipad ukuze basebenze nge-IUD yabo ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba lokuphuma kwayo. "Izigulana ezine-IUD kufuneka zikulumkele ukungatsali ntambo xa ziyisusa, kodwa kufuneka zisakwazi ukusebenzisa ikomityi yokuya exesheni, utshilo uGqirha Wu.

Ngaba unokusebenzisa ukuya exesheni ukuba uphethwe yintlungu ye-endometriosis?

I-Endometriosis yimeko apho ulwelwesi lwesibeleko lukhula khona apho lungafanelekanga khona, njengomlomo wesibeleko, isilonda, isinyi, iityhubhu ze-fallopian, kunye nee-ovari. (Nantsi isikhokelo esipheleleyo se-endometriosis.) Inokubangela iintlungu ze-pelvic, cramping, kunye nobunzima, amaxesha angathandekiyo.

Ngelixa amava exesha anokuba nzima ngokumangalisayo nge-endometriosis kwaye angenza ukuba kube buhlungu ukusebenzisa iitampon, i-silicone yekomityi inokuba lukhetho olukhululekileyo. "Abasetyhini abaneentlungu ze-endometriosis bangasebenzisa indebe yokuya exesheni ngaphandle kokuqwalaselwa okhethekileyo," utshilo uGqirha Anderson-Tull. Ukuba ufumana ubuntununtunu, unokufuna ukuthathela ingqalelo ikomityi ethambileyo, okanye ukuba unompompoza onzima, kunokufuneka uyikhuphe rhoqo. (Idibeneyo: Amaxwebhu athi iPilisi eNtsha evunyiweyo ye-FDA yokuNyanga i-Endometriosis inokuba ngumTshintsho loMdlalo.)

Uphengululo lwe
