tampon

The use of sanitary napkins began in the 20th century. According to records, sanitary pads originated from bandages used during World War I. At that time, American female nurses serving in France wrapped absorbent cotton with bandages to use as menstrual products. This kind of product was safe, clean, and hygienic to use, and could be directly discarded after replacement without the need for washing and reuse. This was the earliest prototype of sanitary pads.   During World War I, Kimberly-Clark Corporation in the United States developed and produced Cellucotton, a type of chemical fiber material. Its water-absorbing capacity was many times higher than that of pure cotton, making it popular among medical staff on the battlefield. However, with the end of World War I in 1918, the demand for Cellucotton in the medical market on the battlefield plummeted. Kimberly-Clark decided to use Cellucotton to produce sanitary pads and launched the first disposable sanitary pad in 1921, marking the beginning of the industrial mass production era of sanitary pads. In 1929, the tampon was invented in the United States. In 1969, with the application of hot-melt adhesive products and technology, "self-adhesive back-tape sanitary pads" were produced. From then on, sanitary pads could be directly stuck onto underwear without the need for pins, belts, or other fasteners.   China started producing sanitary pads in the early 1980s. In 1982, Beijing Paper Making No.11 Factory took the lead in introducing sanitary pad production equipment to produce straight-strip sanitary pads. Hengan, Hangzhou Yuhang Paper Making Factory, Foshan Weili Paper Products Co., Ltd. (now Qisheng Company), and others were among the earliest domestic enterprises to produce sanitary pads. In 1991, Procter & Gamble took the lead in launching winged sanitary pads at its Guangzhou factory. In 1992, panty liners appeared on the Chinese market. Subsequently, with the continuous development of technology and materials, the topsheet, core, and product forms of sanitary pads have been constantly upgraded. Sanitary pads can be classified by topsheet material into dry-weave surface sanitary pads, cotton-soft surface sanitary pads, and pure cotton surface sanitary pads; by absorbent core into traditional core sanitary pads (containing fluff pulp and superabsorbent polymers), composite core sanitary pads, and new-type core (such as the porous absorbent polymers and foam materials in liquid sanitary pads) sanitary pads; and by product form into straight-strip sanitary pads, winged sanitary pads, and panty-style sanitary pads.   After more than 100 years of continuous improvement, sanitary pad products can now well meet the hygiene and care requirements of women of childbearing age during their menstrual periods.    If you want to get more information about our products, you can click www.glinknonwoven.com.
