If you're just spotting then you shouldn't be using tampons.
Tampons will absorb discharge just as they absorb blood, with less blood this means more discharge is absorbed and thus vaginal tissues become dried-out causing increased tissue damage. Using tampons with very light flow is dangerous because it means more tissue damage and this tissue damage allows bacterial toxins responsible for TSS direct access to the bloodstream.
If the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours you need to use lower absorbency, or if already using lowest absorbency (also if flow is very light) switch to pads.

Why do you get clear fluids on your panties through tampon?
The last day or so of your period may just be so light that you are no longer passing the blood from the uterus but also the clear discharge from glands in your vagina or mucus from your cervix that is colorless.
Is it normal for the discharge on your tampon to be on left side?
If a tampon has blood on only one side, it is never a cause for concern. It has no medical meaning.

What is on your tampon when you take it out?
On the tampon you will primarily see menstrual blood and discharge - although you may not be able to see the discharge as it's mixed with the blood. You can also see clots, cervical mucus mixed with blood, and larger pieces of the uterine lining. You should not see pus as community answer claims.
Is it normal to have a dark red discharge after a lost tampon has been removed and antibiotics are started?
The dark red discharge may be blood left behind by the tampon which is now being allowed to flush out of your vagina. If you're taking antibiotics you should be fine, although you are at risk of developing a yeast infection when taking antibiotics which may effect discharge. If concerned then see your doctor again, it's a good idea to do this after the antibiotics too to ensure everything is okay.
What does an infection from a tampon feel like?

What would happen if a tampon were to be pushed into far and was forgotten?
A tampon cannot go any further than your vaginal canal, the cervix at the top of the vaginal canal stops the tampon from going any deeper. If you forget a tampon then remove it as soon as possible and do not use tampons for the rest of that cycle. Watch for symptoms of vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis, such as bad smelling or excessive discharge, and see your doctor if you see these.
How do you use a tamopn?
To use a tampon you simply insert a fresh tampon into your vagina following the instructions given on the box. You have to remember to follow precautions too such as changing every 4-6 hours, no tampon use when not menstruating, always use lowest absorbency, no tampon use overnight, and alternate with pads often. As long as you're relaxed and use tampons correctly insertion is easy.
Can you move your bowels if you have a tampon in?
Yes, you can make bowel movements when you're wearing a tampon.A tampon goes into your vaginal canal and your bowel movements leave your body via your anus, they are two different canals so a tampon in the vagina is unlikely to cause problems. Sometimes if a tampon is at an angle or expanded it can put a little pressure on the anus which can sometimes make bowel movements a little more difficult, but if it is a problem just remove the tampon.It is a good idea to make sure your tampon string (if using tampons with strings) are out of the way, otherwise you're going to get poop on the tampon string which is very unhygienic.
