If you’ve ever experienced itching, redness, or discomfort during your period, you are not alone. Rashes are a common issue caused by friction, moisture, and exposure to synthetic materials. The good news? There are simple, natural ways to prevent rashes from pads—and at Hushino, we are committed to helping you make your period experience as soothing and irritation-free as possible.
Why Do Rashes Happen?
Most rashes occur due to:
- Prolonged moisture exposure
- Friction between the pad and skin
- Synthetic chemicals, perfumes, or plastics in commercial pads
- Poor airflow leading to bacterial growth
Over time, these factors can irritate your skin and lead to painful rashes or even infections. That is why switching to natural period care and following a few preventive tips can make all the difference.
- Choose Organic, Breathable Pads
The number one cause of rashes is the use of pads made with synthetic materials. Many store-bought pads contain plastic layers, artificial fragrances, and harsh chemicals that don’t allow your skin to breathe.
Switch to Hushino pads as they are organic, eco-friendly napkins made with breathable, plant-based materials that are free from chemicals, fragrances, and plastics. They are gentle on your skin and let air flow naturally, reducing the chance of rashes.
- Change Pads Frequently
Wearing the same pad for long hours creates a moist, warm environment that encourages bacterial growth and increases friction. Make it a habit to change your pad every 4–6 hours, or more often on heavy flow days.
- Use Natural Antiseptics for Hygiene
Keeping your intimate area clean is essential, but avoid harsh soaps or perfumed washes. Instead, use warm water or mild, natural cleansers with ingredients like aloe vera or tea tree oil, which help soothe and protect the skin.
- Wear Breathable Cotton Underwear
Synthetic underwear traps heat and moisture, which can worsen rashes. Cotton, on the other hand, is breathable and soft, reducing chafing and irritation during your period.
