Several brands of sanitary pads have recently been found to be shorter than the lengths stated on their packaging. As essential items for women, the quality of these pads has raised widespread concern. Reports suggest that manufacturers are exploiting the allowable margin of error in current standards by producing pads at the minimum acceptable length, which appears to be a common issue in the industry.
After the incident, many consumers started buying medical-grade sanitary pads. Dr Gao Yan, chief obstetrician at Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, explained that these pads adhere to stricter sterility and disinfection standards and are primarily intended for postpartum women, those recovering from major gynecological surgery, or experiencing heavy bleeding.
"Although medical-grade pads have higher standards, regular sanitary pads are perfectly adequate for everyday use," Dr Gao advised. "I recommend that consumers choose based on their actual needs to avoid unnecessary spending. Be cautious with different brands and products on the market, consult a doctor if you have any issues, and keep evidence to protect your rights. "
