FAQ

If you have placed the tampon right, you cannot feel it inside of your vagina nor do you feel any pain.
If you can still feel the tampon, it is not inserted far enough and needs to be pushed further into the vagina.
If you are using a tampon for the first time, try when your flow is heavy and this should help the tampon insert more easily.

Any girl who has her period can use a tampon. Tampons work just as well for girls who are virgins as they do for girls who have had sex. And even though using a tampon can occasionally cause a girl's hymen to stretch or tear, it does not cause a girl to lose her virginity. (only having sex can do that)

TSS is a rare but serious, potentially life-threatening illness that can affect men, women and children of any age. It is estimated that about half of TSS cases are related to menstruation, and the research on TSS has not reached any precise conclusion on the link between TSS and tampon use, because none of the tampon ingredients are proven to stimulate the production of toxins that can trigger TSS. With early diagnosis, TSS can be successfully treated.

What are the warning signs?
Sudden high fever (usually 102°F/39°C, or higher), vomiting, diarrhea, sunburn-like rash, dizziness, muscle aches, fainting, near fainting while standing.
If you have any of these symptoms and are using a tampon, remove it and contact your doctor for immediate treatment.

Period blood increases normal vaginal pH to more alkaline. The unbalanced vaginal environment shifts in favor of the pathogenic bacteria. This can allow unwanted bacteria to cause odor, irritation, and possibly infection. Tampons are also widely recommended than pads by occidental gynecologists for less skin irritation, better skin dryness and more stable vaginal pH level during periods.

Applicator tampons are available in three sizes, regular for light to medium flow days, super for medium to heavy flow days, and super plus for heavy flow days. You should always choose the smallest tampon absorbency to meet your needs. You may need to experiment at first to find out which absorbency suits you best at different times of your period.

Relax and gently pull the withdrawal cord. If the tampon feels like it can be withdrawn easily, remove it. If you feel resistance, you can leave the tampon in. However, resistance can also be an indication that you may be using a tampon with a too high absorbency for your flow. In any event, ensure that you change your tampon AT LEAST every four to eight hours.
