Helen Harper gaskets
A separate place in the field of coverage of the topic of the postpartum state of women is taken by menstruation. After the birth of a child, they change their character and, in fact, are not monthly, but special secretions. Only a small portion of the panty liner market today is occupied by products for use in the postpartum period. One of the firms producing similar products is Helen Harper. Read everything about the products of this brand in the article.
Advantages and disadvantages
Consider the benefits of Helen Harper pads? and the reasons why you need to stop your choice on them.
- Versatility. Despite the fact that Helen Harper pads are postpartum, they can and even be used in other cases. In particular, in the postoperative period (when it is not possible to go to the toilet on your own) and in cases of urinary incontinence (in small volumes). It is noteworthy that the manufacturer himself writes about this.
- Convenience. The pads have an anatomical shape, when worn, they completely repeat the shape of the body.
- Special technology called Odor Dry System. Does it have multiple functions - maintains pH? at 5.5, prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, and also blocks the appearance of unpleasant odors.
- Secure fit. Thanks to the wide adhesive tape and reliable adhesive, the pads do not slip while driving.
- Special coating treatment. Pads of this type are treated with special compounds that do not cause allergies and also prevent the development of pathogenic bacteria. And they also create a favorable environment for the speedy healing and recovery of a woman.
- Duration of wearing. Postpartum pads can be worn longer than normal pads.
The recommended period is up to 5 hours.
Unfortunately, the products have some disadvantages as well.
- Most of the customers say that such products are best combined with postpartum panties of the same brand, and worse with other products.
- Package size. The absorbency of such pads is higher than that of conventional models. Therefore, the sizes of the products differ from the usual ones. A pack of 10 can take up much more space than a pack with regular spacers.
- Inaccessibility. Panty liners are not always available at the mainstream store. The easiest way to get them is at a pharmacy, but they are not always available there, especially in remote locations. Thus, if necessary, you need to stock up on them in advance. As a rule, they are always in stock in online stores.
Despite the manufacture using a special technology, the gaskets still create a "greenhouse effect", which is fraught with itching and unpleasant sensations.
Variety of products
Helen Harper panty liners come in just three categories.
- Normal. They are designed for moderate discharge - up to 170 ml. Absorbance level 3 drops. Usually sold in pink packaging. The cost is about 200 rubles.
- Extra. Designed for medium volume discharge - from 170 ml to 260 ml. Absorbance level 4 drops. They are usually found in purple and white packaging. The cost is about 300 rubles.
- Super. Used in the period of heavy discharge - from 260 ml to 330 ml. Absorption rate 5 drops. Sold in blue and white packaging. The price is also about 300 rubles.
Of course, you must take into account the fact that postpartum pads with 4 drops absorbency are different from conventional pads with the same absorbency.
However, the entire range of products manufactured by this manufacturer is not limited to this. You can also find breast pads on sale called Helen Harper Baby - Bra Pads. The manufacturer also produces pads for menstruation (for example, Wings Ultra Soft), panty liners, diapers.
Departing a little from the topic, I would also like to note such products as ear sticks, cotton pads and wet wipes, tampons.
Review overview
Most of the customers did not like the lack of wings, which is not entirely fair. Pads are intended to be worn with postpartum underwear that does not require wings. The wings are completely replaceable with rounded edges and an elastic band located along the contour. It is also noted that the product crumples towards the middle while wearing. ?
Women were satisfied with the large size of the products, which absorb excretions well, even in large quantities. Reviews include notes about the softness of the coating. When worn for a short time, the coating does not cause irritation and allergies. There is definitely a much better protection against leaks, in contrast to the use of conventional gaskets. It has been noticed that products can absorb volumes of secretions even more than those indicated on the package. The highest absorbency pads can absorb up to 700 ml of liquid. Women recommend taking them with you directly to the hospital. As a rule, one pack (10 pieces) is enough to safely transfer the first days after childbirth. Many women have confirmed the fact that not only liquid secretions are absorbed, but also clots.
