Brillo pads
A Tampon.
Your tampon should be completely saturated with blood after 4-6 hours - if the tampon is dry when removing then you need to use a lower absorbency or switch to pads. If the string is getting blood on it some may be from blood lingering in the vaginal canal before tampon insertion, but it may also be that blood is simply bypassing the tampon. Try different TYPES (not just brands) of tampon, you may also want to consider menstrual cups which don't leak.
no, but you should be wearing a tampon. They take a little to get used to but they are soooo much better than pads
I hope you are not wearing a tampon when not on a period. This is unhealthy and if you are just starting your period you should not be using a tampon until you are older. The tampon box gives written as well as a diagram of how to put in a tampon. Follow the directions and read the warnings. This is very important.
Reason: If You Go Any Longer Then That, The Blood From The Tampon Will Get Soggy And Leak Out Into The Pool.
No, not neccessary. The tampon should be inside, beyond the urethra and not be affected, only the string and that should be OK for the next few hours.
Well depending on how long your tampon has been in. When you first put the tampon in there should be no blood when you wipe, the tampon should absorb it up, after a few hours and depending on your flow, you might start to notice some blood when you wipe. When that happens you should probably change your tampon to avoid leaking or staining. Good Luck
You need to weAR A tampon. Or if your not sure if a tampon will protect you fully, wear a panty liner.
A pelvic exam can tell if there's a tampon in. As for imagery studies, an X-ray of the pelvis should show that as well. Advanced imaging studies will detect a tampon including CTs and MRIs.
Tampons should be inserted as far as you can reach, you shouldn't feel them once inserted correctly. If the flow is going past the tampon it may be the shape of your vagina or the cervix may sit lower than the tampon - the tampon may go to the side of the cervix, rather than under it to catch flow. Try different types of tampons like soft tampons, or use options like menstrual cups, softcups, or pads instead.
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.
yes you can go swimming when you have your period. If you want to do this then its best to use a tampon. Just find what type of tampon suits you and you should be fine.
