What would happen if you use a sanitary towel or tampon when not on your periods?

Answer 1

Tampons absorb moisture including vaginal moisture needed to keep the vaginal walls protected - without menstrual flow tampons will have even more of a drying effect on vaginal tissues causing increased vaginal tissue damage. As well as uncomfortable this will give bacteria and bacterial toxins a direct route into your bloodstream so significantly increase your risk of TSS.

Answer 2

Well nothing would really happen( unless your using the applicator tampon where the string hangs out your vulva). I would suggest if your practicing you just use the pads until you know how to insert the applicator tampon just for safety.

Answer 3

Discomfort, and higher risk of Toxic shock syndrome (TSS).

Tampons absorb vaginal moisture so with no menstrual flow the tampons will completely dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration - friction will also increase this damage further, and increase fibre loss from the tampon. This could be very uncomfortable or painful, but will also increase risk of TSS by giving bacterial toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into your bloodstream. Never wear tampons while not menstruating.

Answer 4

Wearing a tampon when not menstruating can cause pain and increase your risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration, this damage can casue discomfort but also gives bacterial toxins responsible for TSS direct access to your bloodstream. You should NEVER use tampons when not menstruating.

Answer 5

If you wore sanitary towels when not menstruating nothing much would happen, your vulva would become warm and moist so possibly irritated just as if you were wearing them on your period - in short potentially risking bad odour, irritation, and infection when you don't need to.

Tampons should never be worn when not menstruating, tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing tearing that allows bacterial toxins responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome into the bloodstream so will increase your risk - with less blood to absorb tampons will cause more damage so pose higher risk. Tampons would be uncomfortable when not menstruating due to vaginal dryness, and potentially also risk vaginal infections like Bacterial Vaginosis, again when you don't even need to use them.

Answer 6

Tampons should never be worn when not menstruating - it is not safe.

Tampons have multiple negative effects on the vagina, one of which is that they dry-out mucus membranes of the vaginal walls causing tears - without sufficient menstrual flow the tampons will have even more of a drying effect and thus cause more damage. If the bacteria responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is present tampons give it the perfect place to multiply and stop the vagina from cleaning out that bacteria. If that bacteria then starts to produce TSST-1 toxins they have a direct route into the bloodstream via those vaginal tears. In shot, it significantly increases the risk of contracting TSS to use tampons when you're not on your period, and TSS can be fatal.

Answer 7

nothing its all safe but just like a period u have to remember to take it out
