Earlier we outlined five major reasons why every woman needed to use a panty liner

Adding on the same, this article will outline the crucial things women need to know before wearing panty liners to avoid getting infections.

These are the things to always remember:

1. Wash your hands clean before wearing the liner

This will ensure you don't end up transferring harmful bacteria from the hands to the vagina through the panty liner. 

Remember this is a sensitive organ of your body which can be easily affected.

2. Preferably do not use scented panty liners

This may tamper with the vagina's PH, and can even lead to itching and burning sensation. 

Some ladies end up applying perfume on the liners before wearing them, which is totally wrong.

3. Only wear liners after or before periods

Panty liners are not meant for absorbing heavy discharge.

4. Do not wear liners while sleeping

Just like your skin needs to breath better at night after a long day, so does your vagina. Give it space to get fresh air.

5. Remember to change it

Preferably change the panty liner after every five hours. 

Keep in mind its main purpose is to maintain the hygiene down there, so for better results, keep changing them.
