Daily use of sanitary pads and recurring uti symptoms???

Hi Anisa

i don't know if this will help... but i used to use pantyliners everyday , the hole day and used to have a constant burning sensation due to this. I was unaware of it but as soon as i stopped wearing them holeday i felt a difference.

There are are noxious chemicals in these things which will get through your mucous membranes and do you far more harm than any sort of dirt. You need to try and get counselling to rid yourself of this hang up. Try and ditch the liners asp. Also lots of abx will not help . They destroy the beneficial bacteria in our guts. Try taking a probiotic .

yes, like madge07350 replied the liners can be make of harmful chemicals. Another thing that can happen is the bacteria build up on the liner depending on how much you change it. I would reccommend, buying organicly made pantie liners and changing them out everytime you go to the restroom.

My doctor told me that sanitary pads are breeding grounds for bacteria. They are designed to protect your underwear from fluids so are made with a plastic backing that holds fluid and moisture right next to your body and doesn't "breathe". There's no air flow. Bacteria can grow very easily in that environment. So change them often, way before they're full, and use only when absolutely necessary. Also the materials used to make the pads can cause irritation. 

Definitely consider receiving OCD treatment--look into cognitive behavioral therapy maybe? Limiting exposure to the synthetic materials in pads/liners may certainly help with irritation. As an alternative, look for cotton or cotton-topped ones and change frequently. Consider washable cotton/cloth pads too, as these "breathe" more and will conserve resources.

Hello Ladies, Please be very aware that there are chemicals and toxins in every sanitary napkin and tampon that we use. It only takes 26 seconds for these toxins and poisons to enter our bloodstream which cause several abnormalities in our bodies. No, I am not a doctor nor do I claim to make any medical statements. This comes from my own experience and research. Google Dioxin and see for yourself what does. You can change how you feel and what you feel. If you would like more information please let me know. 

Hi . I’m new on here but what u have is the same as what I have by the sounds of it. I’m 36 and have used sanitary towels for years every day and I have recurrent utis now. I’ve stopped them now and it is getting better but still getting pain every now and then. Did ur utis clear up and how long it take? 

i have to use panty liners all the time so im using homemade cloth pieces....wash everyday....before drying in sun i wash them again in very hot water...and then after drying i iron them very hot and then keep them aerated.

im not saying i dont get uti but follow this regime
