How do you change a tampon?

You simply pull the tampon string gently but firmly - or insert clean fingers vaginally to grab the tampon itself in order to remove. Once removed you wrap-up the used tampon and throw in the waste bin, or if you'reusing reusable tampons clean out in the sink. You can then insert a fresh tampon or reinsert the reusable tampon - although it's best to alternate with pads after tampon use.

How do you change your tampon after swimmming with out anyone noticing?

You would change just as you would normally - take a tampon from your locker and go change in the bathroom. If someone was to notice it doesn't matter, people know that as a woman you menstruate and there is no shame in that what-so-ever.


How do you know when to change that?

By that you mean a tampon? I'm only 14 but when I use a tampon either something in my head tells me it needs to change or I feel something bubbling out. For you wait until 4-5 hours or until its leaking.


When to change a tampo n?

You should change a tampon every 4 to 8 hours, depending on your menstrual flow. It's important not to leave a tampon in for more than 8 hours to reduce the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). If your tampon feels full or uncomfortable, or if you notice any leakage, it's time to change it. Always follow the instructions on the packaging for best practices.

How many times should a girl change her tampon?

It depends on her individual needs. Tampons need to be changed at least every 4-6 hours, or sooner if the tampon leaks before then - women should also alternate with pads as often as possible, or at very least use pads overnight rather than tampons.

What if you can only put in a tampon squatting down low what do you do when you need to change it in a stall at school?

When you need to change in school just squat down like you do at home, ideally try to do this when no one is in the stalls near you. Alternatively practice inserting tampons while sitting down on the toilet with your legs apart. Another option would be to put in a tampon in the morning then change to pads at school when it's time to change your tampon - best to alternate with pads anyway.


What if you are going white water rafting and started your period this morning what do you do when you have to spend 15 hours on a boat with no option to change a tampon?

There is no way that you would be expected to sit on a boat for 15 hours without any access to a toilet - it just wouldn't happen, if you have access to a toilet then you can change your tampon and pads. If you are ever in a situation where you can't change a tampon every 4-6 hours then you shouldn't use a tampon, you can leave menstrual cups or softcups in for up to 12 hours so could potentially go a little longer without risk.


When a women has just changed and has to urinate right after that should she change her tampon again?

No, not neccessary. The tampon should be inside, beyond the urethra and not be affected, only the string and that should be OK for the next few hours.


Is it gross to change your tampon in class?

Of course it would be 'gross' to change your tampon in class, just as it would be 'gross' to go to the bathroom while you're in class. If you need to change your tampon simply let your teacher know you're going to the bathroom and go change as anyone else would. Ideally time changing your tampons so you can do it between class rather than missing your lessons.


What angle are you suppose to insert a tampon at?

Angle the tampon towards the small of your back - the angle of your vaginal canal differs in different positions but aiming towards the small of your back will always ensure the tampon is at the correct angle. Feel for any resistance and re-adjust the angle slightly if you have any problems.
