What are the smallest tampons?

Answer 1

Yep... tampons come in different sizes depending on how heavy or or light your flow is. So if you were looking for small tampons you should get the light flow tampons because they are smaller. Tampons for light flow might also be called 'juniors.'

Answer 2

Tampons don't come in sizes, but in different absorbency ratings:

• Light < 6g
• Regular 6-9g
• Super 9-12g
• Super Plus 12-15g
• Ultra 15-18g

You always start with lowest absorbency, if you leak within 1-2 hours then it is safe to use the next absorbency up, but remember to change absorbency as your flow changes. If the tampon isn't saturated in blood after 4-6 hours then you need to use lower absorbency or if already using lowest absorbency you need to switch to pads as your flow is too light to be wearing tampons.

Answer 3

Light absorbency is the lowest absorbency - it absorbs up to 6ml.

All conventional tampons have to follow strict rules about absorbency and meet certain absorbency ratings so no matter the brand all commercial tampons marked 'lite/light' are the same absorbency. Other types of tampons such as soft tampons, sponge tampons, or cloth tampons can vary. Remember that although these are light they shouldn't be used with very light flow, if the tampon isn't saturated with blood after 4-6 hours you need to use a pad as your flow is too light to use tampons.

Answer 4

There is no such thing as a tampon made for virgins - the vagina of a virgin is absolutely no different from that of a non-virgin, so you use the exact same tampons as any other woman and choose which size to get in accordance to what absorbency you need for your flow (always use lowest absorbency).

Answer 5

The smallest type of tampons are soft or wet tampons like Beppy or Gynotex, these are small synthetic sponge tampons that sit high in your vaginal canal. If you want to use conventional tampons then the smallest are the lowest absorbency or lites - but do bare in mind that your vagina is designed to allow an entire human being to pass through it, it can easily accomodate a tampon.

Answer 6

Tampons don't come in different sizes but in different absorbencies, with light or junior being the smallest size available. The absorbency of tampons is the same with ALL brands, this is one of the few laws that tampon companies have to follow: keeping absorbency the same across all brands.

If you struggle with tampon insertion you may prefer using soft tampons or sponge tampons which are squishy and moistened before use so easier to insert than conventional tampons. You may also want to consider a small brand of menstrual cup like a MeLuna or Ladycup.

Answer 7

Tampons don't come in different sizes so much as different absorbencies to match your flow. The lightest absorbency is Light, Lite, or Junior tampons - these are all the same absorbency, but with different names depending on where you are and brands. You always start with lowest absorbency for your flow, if you leak within 1-2 hours it's safe to use next absorbency up but go down again when your flow lightens.

Answer 8

Tampons vary according to absorbency, not size - size is irrelevant given as the vagina is designed to allow an entire human being to pass through, absorbency is important to reduce TSS risks. The lowest absorbency is a Light/Lite absorbency, this absorbency is the same across all brands but cotton tampons are always better than rayon tampons. Remember: if the tampon isn't saturated after 4-6 hours of use then your flow is too light to be using tampons so switch back to pads.

Answer 9

Tampons don't come in different sizes, because size doesn't matter given as the vagina is able to expand to allow an entire human being to pass through. Tampons come in different absorbencies.

The lowest absorbency are Lights/Lites - if the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours then your flow isn't heavy enough for tampons so you need to use pads instead. All tampon brands are the same in terms of absorbency, there is no one brand smaller or less absorbent than another.

Answer 10

There are tampons for light flow and there are even small tampons for teens. I think Tampax makes them.
