Tampons should be saturated before removal, tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing damage and if dry they will cause friction against the already damaged tissues so increase damage and discomfort.

∙ 8y agoYes, it's fine to remove a tampon before 4 hours if that's when it needs to be removed. If the tampon is leaking then you can remove before 4-6 hours, if leaking within 1-2 hours you may want to use the next absorbency up: just remember to use lower absorbency when your flow lightens again. It's best not to remove a tampon when not saturated though as it can cause damage to the vaginal tissues so make removal uncomfortable - if you do this at least use a pad afterward to allow the vagina to heal.

Is it okay to remove a cartilage piercing before it is fully healed if you replace it soon after?
Yeh you can remove it, i took my tragus piercing out after 2 weeks and but it back in about 2 hours later and it was fine. The longer it's had to heal the longer you can leave it out. :)
Is it okay to wear a tampon while taking doxycycline?
Yes, you can wear a tampon while taking doxycycline, no matter the reason you're taking it. Even if you are being treated for chlamydia, wearing a tampon will not affect the treatment.
Should i get checked out i don't know how long my tampon was in?
Whether you need to get checked out depends on how long you left a tampon for.If you only left a tampon a few hours longer than you were supposed to (you should change every 4-6 hours) then you're likely okay so just pop on a pad for the rest of your cycle and watch for symptoms of bacterial infections such as excessive bad smelling discharge. If you left a tampon in over a couple of days then you should consider getting checked out as chances are you will develop a vaginal infection. TSS is a risk but you'd likely have seen symptoms after a few hours.
When do you put tampons in?
Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours - some tampon companies say up to 8 hours to make their products seem more convenient, but this is not safe or hygienic to do regularly. If you leak before the 4-6 hours then it's perfectly okay to remove the tampon sooner. In time you learn what absorbency to use and how often you need to change to avoid any leaking.
Is it okay to go in a pool on your period if you have a tampon in?
Yes, it's okay to go in a pool on your period if you have a tampon.You can also use other internal menstrual products while on your period in order to go swimming, for example softcups or menstrual cups - cups are safer than tampons and menstrual cups are a lot more convenient as well as reliable so are a better option than tampons. If you do use tampons be sure to use correct absorbency, time it so you can insert a fresh tampon before swimming, and have a pad on hand ready for when you get out of the water to change into or use as back-up to the tampon.
What are the effect of using over sized tampons?
Tampon size isn't an issue because the vagina is flexible and designed to allow far bigger things than tampons to pass through, the issue is absorbency. Tampons absorb vaginal moisture causing dryness and in turn splitting and ulceration in the vaginal walls, this makes tampon use potentially uncomfortable and gives toxins responsible for TSS direct access to the bloodstream - higher absorbency means higher risk of pain and TSS. If the tampon leaks within 1-2 hours a higher absorbency is okay, but if a tampon isn't soaked in blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency.
I'm terrified to put a tampon in so I need help?
It's not that terrible. Trust me.It will be less terrifying if you use plastic tampons. cardboard ones are much more uncomfortable. Make sure your flow is heavy so it doesn't hurt when you pull it out because if you have a dried bloody tampon it'll hurt!There is only one comfortable place to put in your tampon. Don't try putting it into your poo hole. it would be very bothering to put it in the pee hole, so there must be one right in the middle!Relax. To make it fast, pull the tampon out of the plastic tube just a tiny bit so you can take out the plastic tube faster. when you know the whole tampon is in, gently pull out the plastic tube.It's okay if you don't get it in the first time. It may take at least 3 tries the first time you try it.You're pretty much done! don't keep your tampon on for more than 8 hours. The average is about 1 - 3 hours. just pull the string out slowly.

You had 4 beers last night is it okay to drive this morning?
That depends on how long your night is. Your body weight will also be a factor. Normally 6 to 8 hours should be enough time for your body to remove the alcohol from the system.
What happens if a tampon stays inside of you for a week?
Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours to stay hygienic - tampon companies say up to 8 hours but this is too long and would mean you were using too high an absorbency. The longer you leave tampons the longer bacteria are allowed to multiply within the vagina, and they do so exponentially. The longer tampons are left the worse it is for hygiene, also the higher the risks of vaginal infections and TSS, plus of course if leaving too long you increase chances of the tampon leaking.
