What are the disadvantages of tampons

Foreigners seem to like tampons especially. In foreign supermarkets, there are sometimes more varieties of tampons than sanitary napkins. Eighty percent of female friends use tampons, but tampons are not popular in China. Many people are curious about tampons and are also worried about the shortcomings of tampons. So, what are the shortcomings of tampons?

Disadvantage of tampons: Not suitable for night use (especially for more than eight hours of sleep). Tampons should be changed every four to eight hours, otherwise the possibility of TSS will increase, which is the second disadvantage.

The second disadvantage of tampons: In addition to being inserted for too long, if you frequently use large-flow tampons that are not suitable for you, the possibility of getting TSS (toxic shock syndrome) will also increase. Although tampons themselves are not the cause of TSS, as men also suffer from TSS, about half of cases occur in women who use tampons. TSS is caused by bacteria that rapidly multiply and are absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, you should choose the appropriate tampon according to your flow rate, wash your hands before inserting it, and store the tampon in a dry place.

Disadvantage 3 of tampons: If you still use tampons in the last few days of your period, it may hurt when you take them out! Therefore, it is recommended to use ultra-thin pads in the last few days.

Disadvantage 4 of tampons: The flow is heavy in the first few days of menstruation, and sometimes you need to change the tampon in less than 5 hours, otherwise your underwear will get dirty. It is recommended to use it with a thin pad and then check and change it frequently.

The above content is a detailed introduction to several shortcomings of tampons. I believe that now everyone should have a general understanding and knowledge of the shortcomings of tampons. I hope that many female friends will pay special attention when using tampons and use tampons correctly during menstruation to avoid harm to the body.
