Is it safe to use a tampon if you haven't started your period yet?

Answer 1

No, you can only use tampons once you start your period. but be careful, use the minimum absorbency tampon for your flow. If you use tampons before you start your period you will most likely/ possibly get TSS (Toxic shock syndrome) which is a rare but serious disease that can be fatal.

Answer 2

No, absolutely not.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration that allow bacterial toxins that cause Toxic Shock Syndrome more direct access to your bloodstream so increase your risk. Preventing vaginal cleaning is also unhygienic and unhealthy, it's bad enough doing this by using tampons during menstruation but when there is no need for you to use tampons at all this is all the more unwise.

Answer 3

Yes, it is dangerous to use tampons when not menstruating.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration, this allows bacterial toxins responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) direct access to your bloodstream so increases the risks. Using tampons when not menstruating or using too high an absorbency means increased dryness and so in turn increased damage and higher risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome.

There's absolutely no need at all to use tampons when not menstruating.

Answer 4

No, you can't use tampons when you're not menstruating.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration, without sufficient menstrual flow tampons will cause even more damage to the vaginal tissues. This can make use uncomfortable or even painful when it comes to removal, and it also increases risks of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) because it gives the bacterial toxins responsible direct access to the bloodstream. Tampons should only be used when menstruating and during full flow - not light flow or spotting, not before menstruation.

Answer 5

Yes, it is very unsafe to use tampons when you're not menstruating.

Tampons dry-out mucus membranes of the vagina which causes damage to the vaginal walls, thus allowing bacteria and toxins into the bloodstream - this damage is potentially painful but the biggest issue is that it increases the risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome. Tampons allow bacterial growth while preventing vaginal cleaning so as well as risk from TSS there is also risk from vaginal infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis. There's no reason to use tampons when not menstruating.

Answer 6

It is recommended that you not insert tampons unless you are on your period this is because of the possible cause of TSS

Answer 7

It really is not bad but you should not do it. It could hurt so you should try pads.
