What are tampons, and how do I use them?
Tampons are small rolls of absorbent material that are inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual flow. They come in different absorbencies for varying flows and you should use the minimum absorbency necessary to manage your menstrual flow on a given day. Using a tampon is easy once you get used to it, but it may require some practice. The key is to relax; if you’re tense, insertion (and even removal) can become more difficult. Once relaxed, you push a tampon into your vagina, angling the tampon up and toward the small of your back (as your vagina slopes backwards). Always make sure you push the tampon high enough as otherwise it might feel uncomfortable (though make sure you leave the string outside of the body). If inserted correctly, you should not be able to feel a thing! You remove a tampon by pulling on the attached string, which has been left hanging outside the body. It is important to change your tampon at least every four to eight hours. Please read the usage instructions o
