Yes, toilet paper contains several thousand bacteria that can infect in that area. It is important that you refrain from any sexual activities and seek help from a practicing doctor immediately. If you have already participated in sexual activity since, attend hospital immediately
There is no way that you would be expected to sit on a boat for 15 hours without any access to a toilet - it just wouldn't happen, if you have access to a toilet then you can change your tampon and pads. If you are ever in a situation where you can't change a tampon every 4-6 hours then you shouldn't use a tampon, you can leave menstrual cups or softcups in for up to 12 hours so could potentially go a little longer without risk.
When you get your first period, it will feel hard or runny in your undies. If you have a tampon or pad in your bag, USE IT! if you are at school, ask your teacher to go to the toilet, and put one in. It is good to learn how to use tampons too, as they are better than pads. If you don't have anything in your bag, I know this is embarrasing, but you'll feel alot better. Ask your school nurse or office lady to have a tampon or pad, because you've got your first period. If your too embarrased, you could try going to the bathroom, and put about 15 layers of toilet paper on your undies. You'll have to keep re-applying them every 1-2 hours, as they will become saturated with blood. Im 12, and am about to get mine. Hope this helps!
You could, but you'd get blood on your bathing suit and it's really not recommended. I suggest using a tampon.
Yes but only if you put a tampon in. You can also if your flow isn't heavy. It could get heavy in the pool though, so i recomend putting a tampon in. Thx Amanda!
If you don't have a tampon in, you could menstruate in the water which can be very embarrassing.. I suggest Tampax Pearl. Works good for me.
Best choice could be to wear a tampon but, if you don't feel comfortable with that then you could wear a pad with your swim suit and just hang out or tan.
If your tampon isn't in properly, it could leak or you could experience discomfort. Those are the worst possible outcomes.
If you use a tampon three days after a colposcopy with biopsies, you could disturb the clot on the biopsy sites and they could start bleeding. Take out the tampon and just use pads for a couple of weeks.
You could. But the period you had and the spotting you are now experiencing would point more to a miscarriage. If you had a period, you are no longer pregnant if you were. The stuff that comes out during your period would need to stay in there for the baby! Check to make sure you got your tampon out. Believe it or not, this happens to alot of women.
This is not recommended, it could get stuck.
Yes, tampons can commonly increase menstrual cramps so if you keep experiencing this you may want to consider other options like pads or cups. Tampons can hit your cervix if it is low, or expand into the cervix as they fill with menstrual flow. Also if the tampon is too low down it may hurt as you sit or move about, so make sure the tampon is far enough in as this may be the cause of pain.
No. The tampon is right at the opening of the vaginal entrance - it can not reach your stomach. And even if it could it would be too small to feel. You have both ovaries and uterus and intestines but I bet you can't feel them. A tampon is smaller.
