How to use tampons

I believe that most female friends have a certain understanding of tampons. However, in life, many female friends will choose to use sanitary napkins during menstruation, because the use of sanitary napkins is simpler than tampons. However, some female friends will choose to use tampons. In fact, the use of tampons is not complicated. So how to use tampons?

Menstruation is a good friend of women, commonly known as "Aunt Flo". For healthy women, their periods will come on time every month. At this time, we have to talk about their good partner - sanitary napkins. There are two types of sanitary napkins, one is sanitary wings and pads, and the other is tampons. Nowadays, many women like to use tampons because they are small in size and can be inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood without having to worry about side leakage. However, the vagina is one of the most delicate parts of a woman, so are tampons really safe? What are the taboos when using tampons?

You cannot use tampons to prevent menstruation if you miss your period

Some women use tampons to prevent menstruation a few days before it comes, which is wrong. Because the vagina will be dry at this time, inserting a tampon can easily cause friction damage to the vagina and make it prone to bacterial infection. The correct way is to use sanitary pads instead of tampons, and only use tampons when your period actually comes.

Tampons should not be left unchanged for a long time

If tampons are left in the vagina for too long, it is easy for bacteria to grow and infect the vagina, leading to vaginal diseases such as vaginitis. It is best to change tampons within every 2 hours.

It is not advisable to use tampons for heavy menstrual flow

It is not appropriate to use tampons when the menstrual flow is heavy, because the tampon soaked with menstrual blood will block the vagina, causing the menstrual blood to not flow out smoothly, and easily flow back into the uterine cavity, causing poisoning in the body. Moreover, women who have blood clots are not suitable for using tampons. Tampons can only absorb menstrual blood but not blood clots, and tampons block the vagina, causing blood clots to be unable to be eliminated.

The vagina is one of the parts of women that needs special care. Improper use of tampons can easily cause vaginal bacterial infection and increase the risk of vaginal diseases. Therefore, you should be cautious when choosing tampons. Although they are small and convenient, they can easily cause disease if used improperly.

The above is an introduction on how to use tampons. I believe everyone should now know how to use tampons correctly. I hope that female friends can learn more about some menstrual health care and some menstrual common sense, so that it can better help us protect our own health and avoid suffering from some diseases during menstruation.
