Peppermint pads were made with spicy ingredients

The feeling of spiciness after using peppermint pads may be a normal phenomenon, or it may be related to skin sensitivity or irritation from product ingredients. The volatile components in peppermint may cause slight irritation to the local mucosa, and the reaction is more pronounced in sensitive individuals or when the skin is damaged.

Peppermint pads often contain ingredients such as menthol, which activate skin cold receptors to produce a cool sensation. However, some individuals may experience burning or stinging sensations due to individual differences. It is more likely to occur when using or changing brands for the first time, and usually the discomfort will be reduced after adapting a few times. When using, avoid situations where the genital area is damaged or inflamed, and be cautious during the sensitive stage of menstrual mucosa. In rare cases, persistent spicy pain may indicate an allergic reaction, commonly seen in people who are sensitive to plant essential oils or spices. If accompanied by redness, rash or itching, stop immediately and rinse the area. Allergic individuals can conduct a small area test on the inner side of their arms before use to observe for any abnormal reactions such as skin redness.

When choosing a pad, pay attention to the ingredient list to avoid additional irritants such as alcohol and synthetic fragrances. Daily care advice: pair with pure cotton underwear to maintain breathability, and change the pads every 2-3 hours during menstruation. If the discomfort persists for more than 24 hours or worsens, seek medical attention promptly to investigate skin problems such as contact dermatitis.
