when using a tampon... u simply have 2 stick ur foot up on a toilet. then put ur fingers on the tampon. find the opening of ur vagina and open it. put the tampon under u and push the tampon into ur body. next, take ur pointer finger that was holding onto the tampon and push the tampon into ur body. pull the non - tampon part out of ur body and throw it away. the tampon will suck up the blood. after 4 - 6 hours... pull it out and throw it in the toilet. replace with a new one.

when you go to change it if there are still white patches on it, try a lighter flow one next time or if you need to change it more regularly or it leaks then try a higher absorbancy tampon to find the right one for you. :)

Tampons are a fashion statement, used by various men worldwide, including the famous, Cian Jac Stephens. They are usually put up the nose, or placed in the ear. They can also be used to collect the heavy flow of dangleberries, if the man is on his heavy Meriod.

A tampon is a wad of material such as rayon, cotton, sponge, or cloth that is inserted vaginally to absorb menstrual flow before it leaves the body during a womans period. Tampons can be left up to 4-6 hours and then they are pulled out either by using a string attached or grabbing the tampon itself. The tampon is then either wrapped-up and thrown away or washed and reinserted, depending on the type.

A tampon is used to absorb menstrual flow within the vagina during a woman's period. The tampon is inserted into the vagina and can be worn up to 4-6 hours to absorb flow, then it is removed. Some people will use tampons rather than menstrual pads or menstrual cups, but not everyone uses tampons.

A tampon is a type of menstrual product, thus it is used to deal with menstrual flow to avoid blood getting on clothing. A tampon is inserted vaginally during full flow, in the vagina it absorbs menstrual flow before it gets a chance to leave the body. Tampons are sometimes preferred over pads because they allow women to participate in activities such as swimming, that can't be done while wearing pads.

Tampons absorb menstrual flow during a persons period. The tampon is inserted into the vagina to absorb the menstrual flow before it leaves the body. They are changed every few hours to prevent infection, Toxic shock syndrome, and to prevent leaking when they are full.

Tampons are absorbent wads of material some people use while they are menstruating (or experiencing withdrawal bleeds when they are on hormonal Birth Control). They are inserted vaginally to absorb menstrual flow as it comes out of the cervix and before it leaves the body.

Do sport tampons work for swimmers?

Yes, sports tampons work as well as any other tampons for swimming - tampons are essentially all the same: absorbent wads of cotton or rayon, the design offers very little additional protection. A swimmer would be better off considering menstrual cups as unlike tampons cups can be worn even when flow is light or before menstruation to be prepared, cups also don't leak or increase cramps as tampons can. You can use any internal menstrual product to swim on your period.
