Best Answer

A conventional tampon such as a rayon tampon like Tampax or a cotton tampon like Natracare is around an inch and a half long. A soft tampon like Beppy is only about an inch wide and a quarter of an inch deep. A sponge tampon size will vary depending on how heavy your flow, but often is around the size of a Golf ball. A cloth tampon size will vary depending on how long it is made.

A tampon cannot really get stuck at all. A tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal, it can't be pushed any higher than that. As long as you are using a tampon and relaxed upon removal the tampon will come out.

How long does a tampon last long in the water?

A tampon lasts in the water about the same as when you're not in the water, although there is a risk of water getting into the tampon for the most part the vaginal walls close around the tampon to prevent this from happening. Tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours, if water gets to the tampon they won't last as long but there's no way of knowing when they will leak as it depends on how much water gets to the tampon. If concerned try menstrual cups instead, they last up to 12 hours.
