How often should tampons be changed?

Since tampons are more convenient to use than sanitary napkins, more and more female friends in our lives will choose built-in tampons during menstruation. However, there are still many female friends who don’t know much about the use of tampons. If used improperly, it will cause some gynecological diseases, especially the replacement time of tampons. So, how many hours should tampons be changed?

"After the tampon is inserted into the closed and moist vagina, bacteria can easily multiply quickly relying on the blood as a culture medium. If used for too long or improperly, it can easily cause retrograde infection, causing the user to suffer from gynecological inflammations such as endometritis, salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease." said the expert.

Relevant experts said that T-BACK is tight in the local area and can easily cause local poor circulation. In addition, there is no cotton lining, so the secretions cannot be absorbed and it can also cause vulvar inflammation. Therefore, it is not suitable for frequent wearing. At the same time, when the menstrual flow is heavy and it is inconvenient to change sanitary products frequently, it is fine to use internal tampons occasionally, but it is not recommended to use them frequently, especially not for young girls.

The expert said: "Some tampon manufacturers claim in the instructions that if you choose a small-sized tampon, it will not cause damage to the hymen. After all, there is a small hole in the center of the hymen for menstrual blood to flow out. But I disagree with this statement. After all, the elasticity of the hymen and the size of the middle hole vary from person to person. Unless the menstrual flow is very heavy, it is not recommended for young girls to take this risk for the sake of convenience and fashion. Putting aside the virgin complex, once the hymen is damaged, it is easy to cause inflammation, which is not worth the loss."

Tampons should not be used frequently

1. Avoid operating without cleaning your hands. It is recommended to use a matching special fingertip or disposable gloves to insert the sanitary napkin into the vagina.

2. The single insertion time of the tampon should not be too long and should be controlled within 2 to 4 hours. In addition, the total usage time should not be too long and the number of times should not be too many.

3. It is recommended not to use tampons while swimming during menstruation. Because tampons are absorbent, although menstrual blood will not flow out, there is a possibility that unclean swimming pool water will enter the body and cause infection.

4. It is not recommended for young girls to use internal tampons.

After the above experts’ detailed explanation on the time to change tampons, I believe everyone should now have a deeper understanding and knowledge about how many hours to change tampons. I hope that female friends will pay attention to changing tampons more frequently when using them, so as not to cause some gynecological diseases.
