Will you be safe if you wear a tampon with discharge and change it regularly?

Tampons absorb fluids, this means they absorb vaginal discharge which is important to keep vaginal tissues moist - by drying out vaginal tissues they become split and ulcerated that gives toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into the bloodstream. There's no reason to use tampons for discharge.

∙ 8y agoNo, it's not safe to use tampons when you are not menstruating.
Discharge exists to clean-out bacteria and dirt, it also helps protect vaginal tissues by keeping them moist, and it's acidic to help kill harmful bacteria while helping healthy bacteria. Tampons counter-act all this, they not only hold bacteria inside the vagina but give it the perfect environment to multiply to unsafe levels (yes, even if you change often). Tampons also dry-out vaginal tissues causing damage that allows toxins from bacteria into your bloodstream, thus risking Toxic shock syndrome.
You never use tampons for discharge, you just don't need to.

How long should you leave a slender tampon in?
Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours.Regardless of the size or absorbency of the tampon they need to be changed regularly to reduce risks of vaginal infections like Bacterial Vaginosis and risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).If the tampon leaks sooner then change sooner, if it leaks within 1-2 hours it's safe to use the next absorbency up from what you're using. If the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours then you need to use lower absorbency, if already using lowest absorbency then switch to pads.
Can a saturated tampon fall out on its own?
I had a tampon in and forgot to remove it when I went to bed. I have a heavy flow during the beginning of menstruation and when I went to the bathroom I thought I felt it fall out on its own, but when I looked in the toilet it was too red to see the tampon. I have checked twice and I cannot feel it inside me, is it safe to use another tampon?
Your daughter wants to go into a hot tub with a tampon on i am not sure if that is a safe thing for her to do?
I'm not sure why you would worry that this is not safe.Tampons generally aren't safe but as long as she is following precautions her risks are reduced, going in a hot tub while wearing a tampon isn't going to increase tampon risks. Girls go in hot tubs all the time without a problem, there's no reason to think that this would be a problem either.

Can a man put a tampon in his rectal?
Whether or not it's safe for a man to use a tampon depends on why he is using the tampon to begin with. Some men will menstruate just like women, because some men have a uterus and vagina, so if they are using tampons correctly the risks are the same as when women use tampons for menstruation. If a man is inserting a tampon anally then obviously that's not safe and also totally unnecessary.
Is is safe to try a tampon although you are not on your period?
No. Tampon should only be worn when on a period and taken out several times a day. Bacteria builds in the tampon and can cause a infection called toxic shock syndrome. It will kill if the bacteria enters the blood stream. Young girls starting their periods also should not use tampons for the first year or two. Read the tampon boxes.
Can hamsters get conjuntivitus?
Yes, they can. To avoid this, keep your hamster clean (using pet safe wipes of course, NEVER bathe it in water) and change their bedding regularly. There are many causes of conjunctivitis. One of the main reasons is because their cage/bedding is not clean or changed regularly.

When you wipe you have blood but when i put a tampon in theres nothing?
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
Not sure if I took my Tampon out or not can't feel it?
Your vaginal canal is only so long, if you've checked your vagina and can't feel a tampon it's likely that there is no tampon. You can also of course check your trash, a not-so-nice task but your last tampon should be near the top of the trash can so you may be able to determine if you removed it that way. If you still can't tell then go see your doctor or go to a walk-in clinic to be safe.
