No, it's not safe to wear tampons before menstruation or even with light flow.
Tampons absorb vaginal moisture leading to vaginal tissues becoming dry and damaged, the damage to vaginal tissues allow TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into the bloodstream so increases TSS risk. Wearing tampons without menstruation can also be uncomfortable. If you're really worried about your period starting when swimming then you can safely use menstrual cups, diaphragms, or softcups before your period without TSS risk.
Yes, a period is a result of hormones and wearing or not wearing a tampon has nothing to do with it. Never ever wear a tampon without having a period. Read the warnings on the tampon box because it tells you not to do that.
I hope you are not wearing a tampon when not on a period. This is unhealthy and if you are just starting your period you should not be using a tampon until you are older. The tampon box gives written as well as a diagram of how to put in a tampon. Follow the directions and read the warnings. This is very important.
You were expecting your period and you got IT before IT got you!
you can't but you can try wearing a thinner pad or a tampon :)
Well, if you have never got it before ask a female adult for a pad or tampon. If you've had it before stick a pad or tampon in pocket just in case.
Not a good idea. Tampons can cause a bacterial infection called toxic shock. It can kill you. Even on your period you need to be careful of wearing a tampon too long.
No. Tampon should only be worn when on a period and taken out several times a day. Bacteria builds in the tampon and can cause a infection called toxic shock syndrome. It will kill if the bacteria enters the blood stream. Young girls starting their periods also should not use tampons for the first year or two. Read the tampon boxes.
a period without a tampon
Yes, you can use a tampon whenever you have a period
If you remove a tampon and it has brown spots then it is likely old blood, normal when your period is light as it takes time for the blood to leave your body and it goes brown. If your period is light then you should not be using tampons at all, only use tampons with full flow. If the tampon has brown spots before insertion then throw it out and check other tampons before using them.
you get a tampon or pad
A woman does not get her period while she's pregnant, therefore, she does not need a tampon.
