Can you wear tampons when im not on my period?

Answer 1

It is possible, but NOT safe, or a good idea. this is graphic, but, when you are not menstruating, there isn't any blood coating the inside of the vagina. removing a 'dry' tampon can cause tears on the vagina wall, which is very very thin. this can lead to bacteria and infection, and could cause serious problems.

i'm guessing you might have a discharge, which is why you'd want to wear the tampon. you should see your doctor about this. some women experience a milky, or clear discharge. you might notice 'white stuff' on your panties. this is normal. i would suggest a panty liner.

I am adding to the other poster that if you are older it is possible you could leak a small drop of urine if you sneeze, etc. Tampons are not good for any age because they rub on the delicate tissues inside. Try "Always Wings" and you that will solve a lot of your problems.

I would also like to add that women shouldn't have really hot baths or put any bubbles in the water as this too can dry out this delicate area. Try having showers more and only the occasional bath.

i guess sorbet it will parable hurt putting in and out.

ANSWER

If you have that much discharge than depending on how heavy the discharge is you can just wear a pantyliner you can buy them at Harvey's or wallet for 2 to 3 bucks

if you are not on your period don't use sanitary items as it may have dramatic effects!!!

Answer 2

Although you can physically insert a tampon when not menstruating, it is unsafe and unhygienic to wear a tampon when not menstruating. Tampons prevent vaginal cleaning and encourage bacterial growth so best avoided in general, but tampons also dry-out vaginal tissues and without sufficient menstrual flow tampons will dry-out vaginal tissue further which causes damage. Damage to vaginal tissues is not only uncomfortable but also gives bacterial toxins responsible for Toxic shock syndrome direct access to the bloodstream so increases the risks.

Answer 3

You can physically insert a tampon when not menstruating, but you shouldn't as it's not safe. Tampons shouldn't be used when not menstruating or even with light flow, tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting which can cause discomfort and increases risks of Toxic Shock Syndrome. There is no reason what-so-ever to insert tampons when you're not menstruating, so just don't.

Answer 4

No, never wear a tampon when not menstruating.

As well as being unnecessary it would significantly increase your risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) - this is when certain bacteria overgrow and start producing a toxin that enters your body and can overwhelm your immune system - tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulcerations that give these toxins a more direct route into your body. With no blood tampons would dry-out vaginal tissues more so increase damage, in turn increasing the risk of TSS.

Answer 5

No, although you may be able to physically insert a tampon when not menstruating you shouldn't because it's not safe - if you're not menstruating then there is no reason for you to use tampons.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration, as well as uncomfortable this allows bacterial toxins access to your bloodstream thus risking Toxic Shock Syndrome. Without sufficient menstrual flow tampons will have more of a drying effect on the vagina, thus more damage and higher risk.

Answer 6

No, you cannot wear a tampon if not menstruating and there is no reason to either.

Tampons are designed to deal with menstrual flow so if you have no menstrual flow there is no reason to use tampons, doing so just puts you at unnecessary risk. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing damage to vaginal walls, this can be uncomfortable and increases risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome, without menstrual flow this damage is even greater so a bigger health risk.

Answer 7

You should not wear tampons when not menstruating.

Tampons absorb vaginal moisture resulting in the vaginal tissues becoming dry and ulcerated, as well as uncomfortable this allows bacterial toxins direct access to the bloodstream so increases the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) considerably. Even wearing too high an absorbency or using tampons with light flow will increase TSS risks, so using tampons when not menstruating is especially unhealthy. If you're not menstruating then there is absolutely no reason for you to use tampons, doing so would just be uncomfortable and put you at unnecessary risk of TSS and infections.

Answer 8

No, you should never use tampons when not menstruating.

Tampons have multiple negative effects on vaginal health and hygiene, one includes drying out vaginal tissues which results in splitting and ulceration in the vaginal walls. As well as uncomfortable these splits give bacterial toxins responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) direct access to your bloodstream so significantly increases TSS risk. Even using too high an absorbency on your period can increase TSS risks by around 33%, so using tampons when not menstruating is a big no-no.

Answer 9

You may be able to physically insert a tampon when not menstruating, but you shouldn't.

If not on your period there's no reason to use tampons, but doing so is going to be uncomfortable and put yourself at much higher risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Tampons absorb moisture so dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration, this would be much greater without sufficient flow for tampons to absorb, this damage allows bacterial toxins that cause TSS into your bloodstream.

Answer 10

It is strongly advised to use tampons unless on your period. This will store bacteria in the vagina and absorb all the good bacteria you need. Panty liners are a good idea to use when you are unsure about when you are going to start. Tampons will also cause TSS or toxic shock syndrome when not changed regularly every 4 hours. Another idea that you could look into would be an instead, they sell them at most store who have tampons. They fit in like a diaphragm and they can stay up to 12 hours before a change. If you have a problem with irregular periods you can always talk to your ob-gyn about Birth Control. Birth control helps regulate period and help with menstrual cramping. There are also many different forms of birth control.
