Are tampons flushable?

Even if a tampon says it is flush able it is bad for the environment. Tampons take years to decompose and cause lots of plumbing problems. Plumbers of America want you to flush them as it is good for their business. just wrap them up in paper and throw them in the trash.

Don't even get me started about condoms. These will never decompose and are bad for the environment. The best way it to empty the contents into the sink and throw away the rubber in the trash can. kylekeith knows all

Can you flush tampons?

No, you cannot flush tampons - always wrap-up and throw in the bin.

Some tampon companies claim their products are flushable, but although they may clear the U-bend they shouldn't be flushed because rather than breaking down in water they expand so can cause blockages in the pipes and in turn serious damage to pipes. Tampons can also bypass sewage treatment works so end-up in waterways where they are an environmental risk.


They have sanitary waste bins in public bathrooms for a reason, please use them.

Do you wear a pad of a tampon for football?

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, and of course if tampons make sure you use correct absorbency. Pads don't have to be bulky, active people may prefer to use period underwear instead of pads or cloth pads instead of disposable pads. If active internal options like menstrual cups can be better than tampons as they don't increase cramps or leak like tampons, plus can be worn with light flow.

Can animals get STDs-one of my family members has herpes and she left her tampon in the trash where my ferret accidentally ate it eeww. Now he has an infection on his ear-could he have herpes?

The chances that a human virus, such as the herpes virus, mutates and gets tansferred to an animal is very rare. In this case, i would say the chances your ferret contracted herpes from eating a tampon that had been used by a herpes positive woman is ridiculously low.

If you are concerned about the infection on your ferrets ear, I would take him to the vet. The cause of the infection is most likely a ferret viral infection, bacteria, mites, a rash etc...

No, you don't have Playtex Sport tampons in Australia. Just get another brand, all tampons work the same and absorbency is universal so they all hold the same amount of flow too. It's best to avoid rayon tampons like Playtex anyway, opt for cotton tampons like Cottons instead.

How do you get your boyfriend to put in your tampon?

It depends on whether or not you want to let him do that for you.

Your body is your own, thus you decide who touches you and how - or if they touch you at all. Some people wouldn't have a problem with this and to some people this is intimate or arousing, but that doesn't mean that you should agree to it and you shouldn't agree to it just to keep him happy either.

Can a cross dresser male wear a female tampon?

No, it's not really the best idea.

Obviously if a person is male they don't have a vagina in which to insert a tampon, although they could insert the tampon anally as there is no lubrication there would be high risk of anal tissue damage - uncomfortable, and posing risk of both infection and toxic shock syndrome. Besides, why us a tampon if you can't use a tampon as intended?

If you want to experience menstrual products then buy some - tampons, pads, liners, menstrual cups, softcups and imagine using them, it's not quite the same as actually using these items but then neither is inserting a tampon into your anus.

You can of course use pads or liners, some nice pretty pink cloth pads from the likes of Lunapads may appeal to you, just wear them in your underwear. Another suggestion would be period panties or period belts - underwear with pads built-in like Lunapanties, underwear with leak-proof lining like Dear Kates, or hybrids like WeMoon Nights.

Will tampons used early in pregnancy harm?

Yes, tampons should not be used when not menstruating - this is tampon safety 101.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing small tears that allow bacteria and bacterial toxins into the bloodstream, using tampons without sufficient flow will increase that damage so pose higher risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome. There's no reason to use tampons when pregnant.

They're CLEANER - wearing a pad is like wearing a diaper!

* Tampons are not cleaner, the opposite is true, and only disposable pads feel like diapers.

also you can get TSS from tampons which obviously isnt healthy :P

Can you still pee with a tampon in?

Yes, you can still urinate while you're wearing tampons. Tampons go into your vagina, and you urinate from your urethra - they are two completely different holes. If you're using tampons with a string it's a good idea to move the tampon string out of the way so that it doesn't get wet, as it can be unhygienic and uncomfortable to walk around with a wet tampon string. It's a good idea to try to time changing your tampon with urination, just so you don't spend all your time in the bathroom.

Why do people put a tampon in a womens vagina?

It helps protect against leakage and gives further security. I don't recommend tampons for the first couple periods, just give it time. Tampons are a scary thought, but millions of women use them daily and they work just fine.

Is it safe to use unopened tampons from years ago?

Yes, as long as they were stored in a cool dry place.

Tampons do not decompose easily so they can remain usable for many years, however although they are sanitary they are not sterile so if stored in a warm and/or moist environment they can become mouldy and bacteria can thrive. Before using a tampon from this pack double-check that they look okay.

What are the best tampons for beginners?

Hypo-allergenic cotton tamponsBrands; Cottons, Natracare, Maxim or Seventh Generation
Unlike other tampons which are made from chemically treated bleached rayon, cotton tampons are made from 100% cotton without any sort of bleaching and completely hypo-allergenic. Cotton tampons pose lower risks of TSS, vaginal infections and irritation so the least likely to cause problems for new users, cotton also has lower friction than rayon.
Always use lowest absorbency.This is important to reduce risk of TSS as well as to prevent discomfort through friction and the drying effect of using too high an absorbency. Use lowest absorbency and if it leaks within 1-2 hours consider using a higher absorbency, but if the tampon is dry or brown in places after 4-6 hours use a lower absorbency or switch back to using liners/pads.


Non-applicator.Applicator tampons are designed to reduce contact between the users fingers and their genitals or menstrual flow, although some people find applicator tampons easier non-applicator are best to start with. Non-applicator are simpler, have rounder tips, and most importantly allow a user to feel for resistance so they can more easily guide the tampon into place.

Can you go swimming take a bath use a tampon with an IUD?

Yes, you can do all of those things. However, many doctors advise against them during the first few weeks after having an IUD inserted, as there's a slightly higher risk of getting an infection during that time.

I have what i think is my period but the blood is brown not red and its so light i dont need a tampon or pad and it doesnt even show up on my pants?

It depends. If it is your first period, it will either be very heavy, or very light. Your first period is normally brown, because the blood is old. This can also happen after pregnancy. I recomend wearing panty liners, and if your are very worried, go to the doctor and tell him/her about it. :)
