It's biologically impossible to menstruate while pregnant - although it is possible to experience vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, it isn't that common. If you are pregnant and start to experience vaginal bleeding you should seek immediate medical attention.
You should only ever use tampons during menstruation when you know how heavy your bleeding is going to be in order to know what absorbency tampon that you can use safely.

∙ 9y agoIt's biologically impossible to menstruate while pregnant - if you're seeing vaginal bleeding heavy enough to require a tampon then either you're not pregnant or you're miscarrying. If you are pregnant and see bleeding you should seek medical attention.
If you're experiencing spotting during pregnancy tampons cannot be used, just like any other time it's not safe to use tampons with spotting, light flow, or when not menstruating. Using tampons during this time increases risk of Toxic shock syndrome.

You should only use tampons when you know your flow pattern, this is because using too high an absorbency increases your risks of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Bleeding during pregnancy is not that common - if you are bleeding while pregnant see your doctor - if it does occur you have no way of knowing how heavy bleeding will be to know what absorbency to use safely.

Can tampons stop you from having babies?
Tampons wouldn't affect a baby during pregnancy, but there is absolutely no reason why a woman should be using tampons while she is pregnant - tampons should only be used during menstruation, even if experiencing bleeding during pregnancy it is not safe to use tampons as you don't know the blood loss to know what absorbency to use. Misusing tampons this way can increase risk of vaginal infections and toxic shock syndrome - the latter would potentially cause serious harm to the baby.

Is it safe to use tampons while pregnant?
No, you cannot use tampons when pregnant.For a start if you're pregnant then you're not going to be menstruating - women can bleed during pregnancy but it's not the same as menstruation and you will not know your flow pattern well enough to know what absorbency to use so using tampons at this time increases TSS risk. If you do experience bleeding during pregnancy it's important that you talk to your doctor immediately as bleeding could be a sign of a serious problem with your pregnancy.Tampons shouldn't be worn when pregnant because there is a higher risk of infections too - during pregnancy your risk of vaginal infections is already higher and it can be more difficult to treat while pregnant - tampons increase risk of infections so it's far from ideal when pregnant.

Should you use Jr Tampons?
There's nothing to say that you should use tampons full-stop, you have other options you can use instead. Jr tampons are light absorbency tampons, only named jr tampons in the US to try to encourage young women to use tampons earlier in order for tampon companies to increase product loyalty early. If you do use tampons you should always use lowest absorbency for your flow, if that means using jr tampons then those are the ones that you will use.
