5 Daily Rituals That Are Harmful To Women In The Long Run

Wearing The Same Menstrual Pad Through the Day

1. Wearing The Same Menstrual Pad Through the Day Save

Sometimes you’re hit with a heavy flow that demands you change pads every 2-3 hours and then there are times where there’s such light spotting you’re almost convinced your period’s bid you adieu.

According to experts, one must change their sanitary towels every 5 hours. This ensures the prevention of any potential infections or growth of microorganisms in the lush, warm environment of your used pad.



2. Washing The Vagina With Soap

Your private part needs cleansing too but it also has self cleansing mechanism inside. Just wash it off with war water and that is enough

Also perversely, by cleansing with soap you actually destroy the population of good bacteria residing in your vagina, thereby increasing your risk of contracting bacterial vaginosis

3. Sleeping With A Bra On

Contrary to what our mothers may bemoan, not wearing a bra doesn’t lead to your breasts sagging. In fact quite the opposite is true!

According to a study conducted by the University of Besançon, France, which followed women for 15 years, it was found that bras were a false necessity. “Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.” Says Prof. Rouillon, one of the lead researchers.

The study concluded that the “support” of a bra in the women, ages 18 to 35, who volunteered for the study, actually led to a weakening of their chest muscles, making their breasts droop over time. On the other hand, volunteers who forwent a bra showed a 7mm lesser sagging in comparison!
4. Spraying Deodorant Directly On Our Skin

Research indicates that this prevalent practice could potentially lead to breast cancer. Your deodorant is made up of several toxic chemicals like aluminum, parabens, phthalates, and triclosan, which once sprayed directly upon your skin can potentially enter your bloodstream. From there, really the world is their oyster. Nobody can fault you for wanting to smell clean and fragrant. However, it’s best to play it safe and spritz over your clothes in the future.

5. Braving The Sun Without Any Protection

In the course of our hectic schedules sometimes we skip the sunscreen and decide to brave the sun without any defense. But the horror stories of sun damage aren’t urban legends created by greedy skincare companies. Oh no, my friend, they’re very real and very scary. Not only does no sun protection put you at risk of skin cancer, but it also accelerates the process of premature aging
