You can, but you should alternate with pads as often as possible.

Tampons encourage bacterial growth while also preventing vaginal cleaning, when you remove a tampon you do remove the bulk of the tampon and bacteria within it but there is still bacteria and tampon fibers left behind. When inserting one tampon after another you're trapping bacteria then allowing even more bacteria on top of that to multiply, thus increasing risk of infection and TSS.


Tampons also dry-out the vagina causing damage to the vaginal tissues, damage that can be increased by the friction of removing the old tampon then inserting the fresh dry tampon, alternating with pads thus allows your vaginal tissues a chance to heal. As well as reducing discomfort this also reduces risks of TSS as vaginal tissue damage is what allows bacterial toxins responsible for TSS to get into your bloodstream and develop into TSS.

What happens if i forgot a tampon inside of me and put another one in but didn't realize it how would i get it out?

You would simply remove the tampon as you would normally. Your vagina is not a bottomless pit, the tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal. Just remove as you would normally and don't use another tampon for at LEAST 8 hours to allow your vagina time to clean itself.


Why would you have no pain when inserting or wearing a tampon but have intense pain when taking it out even when you pull on the string very gently?

Maybe its because the tampon you are using is not soft enough//too rugged. Or maybe it just has to do with the sensitivity of your vagina.


What will happen If you swim with a tampon in?

Nothing will happen, it's just like wearing a tampon at any other time. It is possible for water to be absorbed by the tampon, meaning it can leak or feel a little uncomfortable, so make sure to time it to insert just before you go swimming and check after half an hour to an hour.


What if your tampon splits inside and the other doesnt come out?

If your tampon tears - which rarely happens - then all you need to do is insert your fingers vaginally to remove the rest of the tampon. If it's just a small bit of tampon the vagina may clean it out itself, but otherwise you should go to your doctor to remove whatever is left if you can't remove it yourself.


Can you see a picture of tampon?

Yes, you can see a picture of a tampon by googling for an image of tampons. You can also see a picture of a tampon on the side of a tampon box. If you were to buy tampons you would be able to see a tampon first-hand too!


Does a tampon prevent the sperm from fertilizing the egg at all?

NO !! of course not ,, think about how it got there to start with, no!!!! the sperm got there first... a tampon would just push it in further. Even if you did for some reason choose to have sex with a tampon in, this will not prevent pregnancy because the tampon would just absorb some of the semen, and it would still be "in there" Good luck trying to find the tampon after having sex with it in.


How do you put on and remove a tampon if you never got your period?

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.


Is SpongeBob a tampon?

No, there isn't a SpongeBob tampon. Tampon companies like Tampax do a lot of dispicable things to try to gain brand loyalty in young people, but the SpongeBob tampon meme is just a joke - in part to mock how the brand tries to win over younger customers, partly just because it's plain funny.

Should you go to the hospital if a tampon gets stuck and you cant find the string?

I would, but just pull hard on that little string. Try relaxing and taking deep breaths. Then try again to remove it. If not, go to the hospital to prevent any nasty conditions such as TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome)
