Inserting a tampon for the first time can be a scary and intimidating experience. However, this is easier than you might think: you just need to know how to do it. By wearing a tampon, you can swim, run and do whatever you want without the discomfort of a sanitary napkin. If you put it on correctly, your tampon won't hurt and you probably won't even feel it.
Very often vaginal infections are linked to the fact that the vaginal flora is destabilized. Probiotics are live micro-organisms that occur naturally in our body. They preserve the physiological bacterial ecosystem and therefore strengthen our defences. Probiotic tampons are effective in preventing infections . During menstruation , women use these tampons which restore the vaginal flora . In case of pain or itching , the tampons can come in addition to a treatment.
It is advisable to replace your intimate protections every 4 to 6 hours . The exact duration depends on the amount of blood flowing and the absorbency of the tampon. If blood begins to flow from it before 4 or 6 hours have passed, it is recommended that it be removed and replaced as soon as possible.
Some specialists believe that you can keep a tampon overnight or for up to 8 hours without danger. You just have to try to do what feels best to you by setting up a routine that works for you.
If you keep it too long, there is a small risk of getting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), which is a rare but dangerous infection . If you suddenly suffer from fever, diarrhoea, vomiting or severe dizziness while using a tampon, go to the doctor or hospital emergency room immediately.
To reduce the risk of TSS, use tampons that are not too absorbent, such as low or medium shedding models. This will lead you to change them more often.
If you forget to remove your tampon , it may get crushed against the wall at the top of your vagina. Do not worry. Simply pull the string to remove it. If it is easier, it is even possible to pick it up with your fingers to take it out. If you still can't remove it, go to your doctor or gynecology clinic immediately.
