How to wear a tampon

During menstrual period, most female friends use sanitary napkins to absorb menstrual blood, but tampons are relatively unfamiliar. Tampons are a new term in China, but in some developed countries in Europe and America, tampons are very common and convenient to use, so that many people don't feel the existence of menstruation at all. So, what is the method of wearing tampons?

Tampons are not unfamiliar to most women. A sanitary plug is a sanitary strip, also known as a tampon. It is a cotton cylinder that can be inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood when a woman has her period. However, there are some precautions when using tampons. Improper use can easily lead to vaginal infection, gynecological diseases, and affect your health. Below we will introduce some taboos in the use of tampons, hoping to draw your attention.

Four forbidden areas for using tampons

Generally speaking, using tampons (or sanitary plugs) seems to be a natural monthly "routine", but gynecologists point out that if used improperly, it will increase the risk of bacterial infection. Let's take a look at some of the prohibited areas for using tampons:

1. Use tampons before your period starts

Reason for danger: If the vagina is dry, inserting a tampon may cause slight abrasions, which may give bacteria an opportunity to invade.

Safety measures: Use sanitary pads as a precaution and switch to tampons when menstruation really comes.

2. The tampon is not replaced after more than 8 hours.

Why it’s dangerous: Over time, bacteria begin to grow and release toxins.

Safety measures: Change it every 4-6 hours. If the amount is large at night, change it in time the next morning.

3. When there is a lot of secretion

Dangerous reasons: If abnormal secretions (especially those with a foul odor) are blocked, the situation will be made worse.

Safety measures: Tell your gynecologist immediately. If the infection is confirmed, stop using tampons.

4. Having sex while using a tampon

Danger: The tampon will penetrate deeper into the body, allowing bacteria to grow and cause serious infection.

Safety measures: It should be removed immediately. If it is forgotten and cannot be pulled out, seek help from a gynecologist.
