Is it safe to put in a tampon if you have not gotten your period yet?

Answer 1

NEVER insert a tampon when not menstruating. Tampons damage vaginal tissues by absorbing vaginal moisture, this can result in ulceration that can cause bleeding and will increase your risk of contracting TSS.

Answer 2

If you put a tampon in while not on your period, when you take it out it tears at the vaginal walls. Which can be bad because then inserting tampons will hurt! well more than it does now anyway!

Answer 3

The truth of tampons is they are no good for any woman. The tissues inside the vagina are extremely delicate and it is a fact that women that wear tampons have more irritation and infections. Try "Always with Wings" and if you bleed heavy then use "Overnight ones." They are great! If you aren't sure when you will start your period then Always with Wings is great for you and comfortable.

Answer 4

You can insert a tampon when not menstruating - but you should not!

Tampons are absorbent so don't just absorb blood but also absorb discharge, which is needed to flush out bacteria and to keep vaginal walls lubricated - like tears in your eyes, snot in your nose, or saliva in your mouth. As well as stopping the vagina cleaning itself using tampons when not menstruating means tampons will dry-out vaginal tissues even more, this causes tearing to vaginal walls which is not only painful but also increase risk of Toxic shock syndrome as it allows the bacteria and bacterial toxins responsible for TSS a direct route into your bloodstream.
