Frequently Asked Questions
What is period?
A period (menstruation) is normal vaginal bleeding that is a natural part of a healthy monthly cycle for a person with a uterus and ovaries. Every month, in the years between puberty (typically age 11 to 14) and menopause (typically about age 51), your body readies itself for pregnancy For most women, the menstrual cycle each month lasts for three to five days.
Why Do Women Have Periods?
Every month, in the years between puberty (typically age 11 to 14) and menopause (typically about age 51), your body readies itself for pregnancy. The lining of your uterus thickens and an egg grows and is released from one of your ovaries.
If pregnancy doesn’t occur, estrogen and progesterone levels fall, eventually hitting a level that tells your body to begin menstruation. During your period, the uterus sheds its lining and it’s passed, along with some blood, out of the body through the vagina.
How much blood does a women menstruate?
The average person who menstruates loses about 2 to 3 table spoon blood during their period.

What are ANIONS?
- ANION Strips-On outer core of pulp made up of Strontium ferrite is also added in the anion chip, which is bio-magneticand activates the human bio-current, preventing various diseases and vaginal itching. Long-term using the anti-bacterial anion sanitary napkin can improve the microcirculation, activate collaterals, remove thrombosis and blood poison, Antiphlogisis, soothe the nerves, decompress, and improve blood circulation and human micro ecological balance. Remove the peculiars smell.
First of all, it has nothing to do with anions; let’s get it out of the way… There are two types of ions in the air – positive and negative. Positive ions are considered harmful to the human body, whereas negative ions are proven to be beneficial. They have been known to help relieve stress, alleviate depression and boost energy levels.- Anions (or negative ions) are atoms or molecules that have more electrons than protons and giving off what is known as a negative charge. In nature, negative ions are created with air molecules broken apart by sunlight, radiation and moving air or water. Some places where negative ions can be found are forests, ocean, and waterfalls.
- Anion in the air is like vitamins in food; they greatly benefit people’s health and everyday routine, which can facilitate body growth and disease prevention. Infrared radiation is gaining popularity as a safe method of therapy with the warmth of natural origin and physiotherapy.
- Anion is valuable as a “vitamin of air.” Negative ions stop the growth of bacteria. The concentration of anions in the anion strip of pads and liners is 6000 cm³.
Does this pad reduce peculiar smell during menstruation?
Why Menstrual Odour Happens
Menstrual blood itself is not strongly odorous. The smell develops when:
- Blood interacts with oxygen
- Bacteria break down proteins in menstrual fluid
- Moisture remains trapped for long periods
So odour = bacterial activity + prolonged moisture retention
How Mi Bliss Helps Reduce Odour
1️⃣ Antibacterial Support
Mi Bliss integrates plant-based antimicrobial elements that:
- Inhibit growth of odour-causing bacteria
- Reduce microbial breakdown of menstrual fluid
- Minimise bacterial multiplication in the pad core
Less bacterial activity = less smell formation.
2️⃣ Better Absorption & Fluid Lock
The multi-layer structure:
- Quickly absorbs fluid
- Locks moisture away from the surface
- Reduces prolonged exposure to air
This limits oxidation and bacterial proliferation.
3️⃣ Breathable & Biodegradable Materials
Unlike heavily plastic-based pads:
- Bamboo-based top layers improve airflow
- Reduced plastic reduces heat build-up
- Better ventilation reduces anaerobic bacterial growth
This indirectly supports odour control.
4️⃣ No Artificial Fragrance Masking
Mi Bliss does not rely on strong synthetic perfumes to mask smell.
This is important because:
- Fragrance can irritate sensitive skin
- Masking does not solve bacterial cause
Mi Bliss focuses on prevention, not perfume.
What are the benefits of ANION Strips?
- Activate cells-The body that absorbs anion can play a role on the cell membrane; promote the exchange of the K and Na ions.
- Cleanse the blood—Anion can active metabolism, eliminate wastes and poisonous and harmful substances.
- Reduces fatigue—Anion can make body fluid week alkaline and resist lactic acid fatigue element and so on.
- Stable plant nerve–Anion influences the stress function of the plant nerve system, adjust plant nerve disorder.
- Enhance capacity of resistance—Anion active meshy endoderm is system function, increase the globulin in the blood, improve the quality and quantity of the leukocytes, enhance the it’s swallowing bacteria functions.
- Analgesic action—Positive ions make the body fluid acidic, causing blood circulation impeded and metabolism dull and causing pain substances stay glazed. Inhaled an amount of anion can correct the humeral ph disorder and relieve pain.
Is ANION strip Antibacterial?
- Protection From Odor and Bacteria
- Under the influence of moisture and heat of the human body, pressure or friction, infrared radiation (heat) and anions (negatively charged oxygen ions) are generated. The strip then emits the Anions into the air – releasing between 5800 to 6000 Anions per centimeter.
- This process effectively helps to suppress the survival and multiplication of bacteria, eliminate odour and promote comfort during a woman’s menstruation cycle.
- Anion strip helps to remove the unpleasant odor and growth of bacteria inside the liners and pads. It gives a feeling of freshness and comfort, protects the skin and woman‘s reproductive system from intimate ailments caused by bacteria in the pads. The test results confirm that the anion strip in sanitary pads reduces the odor of ammonia to 85% and destroys 99.9% of the bacteria of Staphylococcus aureus.
- Prolong life—-Anion can effectively remove free radicals, Reduce serotonin content of the nervous system.
