What are the functions of tampons

In recent years, tampons, a menstrual product for women, have become increasingly popular among female friends. Unlike sanitary napkins, tampons allow one to move freely. However, in our country, there are still many people who are not clear about the function and usage of tampons. So, what exactly is the function of tampons? Let's take a detailed look at it below.

An internal tampon is a sanitary napkin placed inside the vagina to absorb menstrual blood directly inside the body. It is made of a piece of safe and hygienic pure white cotton wool that is tightly compressed and has a very strong absorbent capacity. Once it comes into contact with menstrual blood, it will quickly and evenly expand radially in all directions, gently clinging to the vaginal wall, and can absorb all menstrual blood inside the body. Therefore, it can prevent leakage and keep the outside of the body clean and dry.

Tampons will not damage the hymen because there is a small hole in the middle of the hymen with a diameter of about 1.8-2.5cm, while the diameter of tampons is only 1.5cm. Even after the tampon swells up due to menstrual blood, it can easily pass through the resilient hymen without causing any damage.

The most common ones on the market now, such as Johnson & Johnson OB, are produced under strict quality control. Their hygiene indicators meet international standards. They are sealed in plastic film and specially equipped with plastic finger sleeves to prevent bacteria on the hands from contacting the body, so they are very hygienic and safe. Clinical trials and long-term use by European and American women have shown that using tampons does not promote the growth of bacteria and microorganisms.

Because the muscles of the vaginal wall are elastic, they will fix the tampon in its original position and the tampon will not move easily. Moreover, the cervical opening at the top of the tampon is extremely small, which is not enough for the tampon to pass through and enter the uterus.

The above is a detailed description of the usage and functions of tampons. I believe that everyone should now clearly understand that sanitary napkins have many functions and are very convenient to use. They are the most popular product for many female friends during menstruation. However, there are also many things to pay attention to when using sanitary napkins. Everyone must use them correctly to avoid unnecessary trouble.
