I believe that it increases absorbency.
Tampons don't come in different sizes, they have different absorbency ratings - all tampons have the same absorbency ratings, it's one of the few rules tampon companies have to follow outside of their own code of practice.In the US there are the following absorbency ratings;Junior absorbency: 6 grams and underRegular absorbency: 6 to 9 gramsSuper absorbency: 9 to 12 gramsSuper Plus absorbency 12 to 15 gramsUltra absorbency 15-18 grams
The absorbency of the soil was 5milliliters.
Wool and cotton are really good for absorbency... Polyester sucks though...
Weight does not affect soil absorbency.
anyone?
Soil absorbency refers to the rate at which a particular soil takes in water. Different soils have different soil absorbencies.
No, you should always use lowest absorbency for your flow.Tampons don't just absorb blood they also absorb vaginal moisture, this means tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration which give TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into your bloodstream. For each 1g increase in absorbency TSS risks increase by 33%, thus using lowest absorbency tampons for your flow is very important to reduce risks.
Tampons don't come in sizes, they come in absorbencies. The lowest absorbency is a Lite absorbency, which holds 6g of flow.
As long as your flow is sufficient for the absorbency, yes. General rule of thumb - use lowest absorbency; if the tampon leaks within 1-2 hours use the next absorbency up, if the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency or switch to pads. Even if the tampon is a lower absorbency than needed chances are you will not bleed through within just one hour.
Yes.
high absorbency
