No, tampons should not be used during vaginal infection.
Your vagina has a very delicate balance of bacteria naturally occuring that keep the vagina healthy, the acidic pH of the vagina kills 'bad' bacteria while allowing the 'good' bacteria that help keep yeast under control to thrive. Tampons can effect vaginal pH so in turn effect normal bacterial balance, they also allow massive bacterial overgrowth and prevent vaginal cleaning - tampons are a major cause of vaginal infections, using tampons when you already have an infection can make it worse, also if flora is off-balance it is more likely that the bacterium responsible for TSS is also present.
You can use pads (although it's best to avoid commercial pads such as Always or Kotex as they prevent air-flow and contain chemicals which can allow increase in bacteria and yeast - best to use cloth pads like Lunapads or Gladrags), softcups, or menstrual cups. Tampons are best avoided.

∙ 9y agoYou can use a tampon while using clotrimazole cream. However it's important you understand that tampon use is not recommended if you have a vaginal infection: tampons encourage growth of bacteria and yeast within the vagina as well as impact on vaginal pH, thus they can increase vaginal infections. A yeast infection implies vaginal flora is off balance and so your vagina may also be more likely to contain the bacteria responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome.

Can tampons stop you from having babies?
Tampons wouldn't affect a baby during pregnancy, but there is absolutely no reason why a woman should be using tampons while she is pregnant - tampons should only be used during menstruation, even if experiencing bleeding during pregnancy it is not safe to use tampons as you don't know the blood loss to know what absorbency to use. Misusing tampons this way can increase risk of vaginal infections and toxic shock syndrome - the latter would potentially cause serious harm to the baby.

Why would someone feel sharp pains in their pelvic area while using tampons?
Tampons can increase menstrual cramps if they expand into your cervix - if you have a short vaginal canal and use lengthways expanding tampons this will be worse. Tampons also damage vaginal tissues, if using rayon tampons that are too high an absorbency they may cause tears.If you're sure tampons are the cause of this then use pads or cups instead, they're safer anyway.
Tampons and swimming?
You don't have to use tampons to swim while on your period. You can use menstrual cups and softcups for swimming, as well as safer than tampons cups can be worn with light flow which tampons can't, menstrual cups also don't leak like other options. You can also simply sit-out of swimming while you're on your period, it's up to you what you use and what you do on your period.

What is the use of the word 'Fervourless' in the poem 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy?
It means that they had no fervour, or intensity in a feeling or belief. The Thrush was said to have a hope that the narrarator was unaware of, while the people and narrarator have no hope or feeling in the thrush's belief. The belief, in my opinion, is of there being life after death. That is why the old and frail thrush is happy while the rest of the world seems to be grey and in a place that has so much death that even the wind is "death-lament". So fervourless is saying that the people have no belief in the after life. The people are acting lifeless and are even refered to as spirits.
