Can a tampon that is to big make you itch?

Answer 1

Yes, of course.

Tampons are dry and absorbent, you then insert into a moist delicate environment - they dry-out vaginal tissues causing irritation and discomfort, worse if using too high an absorbency or using rayon tampons as rayon is rougher than cotton. Rayon tampons are also treated with various chemicals that can cause irritation, vaginal infections, sensitivity or Allergies.

If using tampons it's best to use hypo-allergenic cotton tampons, or consider switching to softcups or menstrual cups which are safer and more comfortable.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues, as well as cause friction during insertion and removal - if using too high an absorbency this is more severe so can cause more irritation. If you use rayon tampons these are more rough and drying so can cause further irritation, also rayon tampons contain multiple chemicals that may cause allergic reaction or irritation.

If using tampons it's best to always use lowest absorbency (if tampon isn't saturated after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency or switch to pads) and use hypo-allergenic cotton tampons like Cottons or Natracare, rather than rayon tampons like Tampax or Playtex.
