Turn Bad Days Around

You deserve a little more comfort during that time of the month, and that’s where Laurier Ultra Gentle comes in.

-

It’s an understate­ment to say that the days when we have our menstrual period are not our favourite time of month. Not only do many of us suffer from cramps and bloating at these times, we also have to deal with the logistics of stemming a constant and unpredicta­ble tide from one of the most sensitive areas of our body.

MONTHLY WOES

Four in ve women suffer from skin discomfort during their periods, according to a 2015 Laurier study of 224 women. This is because the skin around the intimate area is thinner and more delicate than on many other parts of the body – even the eyelids. And given that the average person walks 3,000 steps a day, the friction from such normal movements can result in skin irritation and even napkin dermatitis – inflamed skin, itchiness, soreness and rashes.

Humidity only exacerbate­s the problem. Perspirati­on and menstrual blood can cause temperatur­es within a napkin to reach up to 36 deg C, with a humidity level of 85 per cent or higher. It’s no wonder many women complain of discomfort throughout the day.

PRIORITISE COMFORT

The good thing is that we don’t have to put up with this. Laurier Ultra Gentle, which taps into cutting-edge Japanese skin science and almost 20 years of research and developmen­t, prioritise­s comfort and is designed to be gentle on intimate skin.

The newly improved Laurier Ultra Gentle features an airy, soft, wavy surface to minimise contact with skin and reduce friction by 30 percent compared with the previous version of Laurier Ultra Gentle napkins.

Its wavy surface is also extra-breathable, and increases air flow by 50 per cent to reduce the sensation of dampness. The brand’s Quick Lock and Dry System absorbs and locks in fluid quickly to keep the surface of the napkin dry.

Designed to offer the most comfortabl­e experience, it will help you – as much as possible – to forget that you’re even having your period.
