Some sustainable tampon options available in the market today include organic cotton tampons, reusable menstrual cups, and biodegradable tampons made from materials like bamboo or cornstarch.
A tampon
The size of a regular absorbency tampon depends on the type and brand of tampon. Most commercial and organic tampons are around 1 1/5-2 inches long, whereas sponge tampons or cloth tampons may vary in size greatly.
It depends on her individual needs. Tampons need to be changed at least every 4-6 hours, or sooner if the tampon leaks before then - women should also alternate with pads as often as possible, or at very least use pads overnight rather than tampons.
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) became prominent in the 1970s, mainly among tampon-using women, due to Staphylococcus aureus bacteria producing toxins. TSS is a severe illness characterized by fever, rash, low blood pressure, and dysfunction of multiple organs.
All tampons are pretty much the same size, it's more about absorbency - and absorbency is regulated across all brand so a light absorbency in one brand will be the same as a light absorbency in another brand. Always use light absorbency when first using tampons, only use higher absorbency if you leak through this within the first few hours, and use pads when your flow is too light for tampons. Although sponge tampons like Beppy or Gynotex are shorter so smaller than conventional tampons.
Yes, you can go into the ocean to surf when wearing a tampon. You can also use options like menstrual cups or softcups which are more convenient and more reliable than tampons.
A tampon should not be slipping out - if used correctly the tampon should sit above the narroest part of the vaginal canal, both this and vaginal muscle tone will keep the tampon in place - if tampons are slipping out you need to discuss this with your doctor. If tampons dont work for you then you should consider using pads or other similar external options like period underwear, belts or interlabial pads, you may also still be able to use internal options like sponges, soft tampons, softcups or menstrual cups.

Yes, you can wear a tampon to the water park as long as your flow is heavy enough for a tampon. You can also wear options such as menstrual cups and softcups, these can be worn even with light flow and for up to 12 hours so a much better option. If you do wear tampons be sure to time it so you can insert a fresh tampon just before going in the water, and you may need to insert a fresh tampon when you get out.
Tampons should be inserted as far as you can reach, you shouldn't feel them once inserted correctly. If the flow is going past the tampon it may be the shape of your vagina or the cervix may sit lower than the tampon - the tampon may go to the side of the cervix, rather than under it to catch flow. Try different types of tampons like soft tampons, or use options like menstrual cups, softcups, or pads instead.
This is probably because it's in crooked or it's not in far enough. When a tampon is properly inserted, you shouldn't feel it at all. If it hurts or is uncomfortable, pull it out and try again with a new one.

As long as you're using the tampon correctly you shouldn't leak when you come out of the water, although water can saturate the tampon so may result in leaking. It's best to use options like menstrual cups, in general they are more convenient and safer than tampons, when it comes to swimming they are best as they don't increase cramps or leak like tampons can.
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!
There are no health concerns with early tampon use. If a tampon is comfortable, a teenaged girl can use it.
A tampon cannot really get stuck at all. A tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal, it can't be pushed any higher than that. As long as you are using a tampon and relaxed upon removal the tampon will come out.
It is likely that the tampon is hitting your cervix - this can happen if you are using conventional tampons and if you have a shorter vaginal canal. I recommend you consider switching to options like menstrual cups or softcups which won't hit your cervix like tampons are doing now.
