Tampons and swimming?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Probably not. Tampons just catch the flow, but good ones can make you feel like you don't have your period at all.

What happens when a girl with her period goes swimming without a tampon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Someone wrote the labia will close and the blood wont come out, this is not true. Labia's have no effect like that. You can leak. That's why women usually use tampons when they go swimming. If you are going on vacation there are pills you can get from your doctor that will stop it temporarily.

You should only be able to see the string, it should be comfy (although even if it's in right it can feel weird the first few times), and if you put the first bit of finger in your vgina, you shouldn't be able to feel the actual tampon.

Are tampons flushable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Even if a tampon says it is flush able it is bad for the environment. Tampons take years to decompose and cause lots of plumbing problems. Plumbers of America want you to flush them as it is good for their business. just wrap them up in paper and throw them in the trash.

Don't even get me started about condoms. These will never decompose and are bad for the environment. The best way it to empty the contents into the sink and throw away the rubber in the trash can. kylekeith knows all

Can you flush tampons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you cannot flush tampons - always wrap-up and throw in the bin.

Some tampon companies claim their products are flushable, but although they may clear the U-bend they shouldn't be flushed because rather than breaking down in water they expand so can cause blockages in the pipes and in turn serious damage to pipes. Tampons can also bypass sewage treatment works so end-up in waterways where they are an environmental risk.


They have sanitary waste bins in public bathrooms for a reason, please use them.

Do you wear a pad of a tampon for football?

User Avatar

Asked by Catherena12

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, and of course if tampons make sure you use correct absorbency. Pads don't have to be bulky, active people may prefer to use period underwear instead of pads or cloth pads instead of disposable pads. If active internal options like menstrual cups can be better than tampons as they don't increase cramps or leak like tampons, plus can be worn with light flow.

These things happen. If the tampon is out, and you're feeling well, no further care is needed. If you're having any discharge or pain, see your health care provider.

Can we see pic of female inserting a tampon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately no. For the safety and privacy of the individual images of women inserting a tampon should not be published online. It is important to respect the privacy of women and their bodies.

There are several topics which are sensitive and private and it is important to respect them. This includes:

  • Images of women inserting a tampon
  • Images of women breastfeeding
  • Images of women in states of undress

These images should not be published online without the explicit permission of the individual. Images of women engaging in activities related to their health and bodies should not be shared without permission.

Can animals get STDs-one of my family members has herpes and she left her tampon in the trash where my ferret accidentally ate it eeww. Now he has an infection on his ear-could he have herpes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The chances that a human virus, such as the herpes virus, mutates and gets tansferred to an animal is very rare. In this case, i would say the chances your ferret contracted herpes from eating a tampon that had been used by a herpes positive woman is ridiculously low.

If you are concerned about the infection on your ferrets ear, I would take him to the vet. The cause of the infection is most likely a ferret viral infection, bacteria, mites, a rash etc...

Do Australians have playtex sport tampons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you don't have Playtex Sport tampons in Australia. Just get another brand, all tampons work the same and absorbency is universal so they all hold the same amount of flow too. It's best to avoid rayon tampons like Playtex anyway, opt for cotton tampons like Cottons instead.

How do you get your boyfriend to put in your tampon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on whether or not you want to let him do that for you.

Your body is your own, thus you decide who touches you and how - or if they touch you at all. Some people wouldn't have a problem with this and to some people this is intimate or arousing, but that doesn't mean that you should agree to it and you shouldn't agree to it just to keep him happy either.

Can a cross dresser male wear a female tampon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it's not really the best idea.

Obviously if a person is male they don't have a vagina in which to insert a tampon, although they could insert the tampon anally as there is no lubrication there would be high risk of anal tissue damage - uncomfortable, and posing risk of both infection and toxic shock syndrome. Besides, why us a tampon if you can't use a tampon as intended?

If you want to experience menstrual products then buy some - tampons, pads, liners, menstrual cups, softcups and imagine using them, it's not quite the same as actually using these items but then neither is inserting a tampon into your anus.

You can of course use pads or liners, some nice pretty pink cloth pads from the likes of Lunapads may appeal to you, just wear them in your underwear. Another suggestion would be period panties or period belts - underwear with pads built-in like Lunapanties, underwear with leak-proof lining like Dear Kates, or hybrids like WeMoon Nights.

Will tampons used early in pregnancy harm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, tampons should not be used when not menstruating - this is tampon safety 101.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing small tears that allow bacteria and bacterial toxins into the bloodstream, using tampons without sufficient flow will increase that damage so pose higher risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome. There's no reason to use tampons when pregnant.

Can you still pee with a tampon in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you can still urinate while you're wearing tampons. Tampons go into your vagina, and you urinate from your urethra - they are two completely different holes. If you're using tampons with a string it's a good idea to move the tampon string out of the way so that it doesn't get wet, as it can be unhygienic and uncomfortable to walk around with a wet tampon string. It's a good idea to try to time changing your tampon with urination, just so you don't spend all your time in the bathroom.

Why do people put a tampon in a womens vagina?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It helps protect against leakage and gives further security. I don't recommend tampons for the first couple periods, just give it time. Tampons are a scary thought, but millions of women use them daily and they work just fine.

Is it safe to use unopened tampons from years ago?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, as long as they were stored in a cool dry place.

Tampons do not decompose easily so they can remain usable for many years, however although they are sanitary they are not sterile so if stored in a warm and/or moist environment they can become mouldy and bacteria can thrive. Before using a tampon from this pack double-check that they look okay.
