Tampons

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.

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. :)

No, they don't hurt unless you put them in incorrectly. You might want to use the ones with plastic applicators since they go in easier. You might not want to use a regular store brand if they are uncomfortable when they expand. Playtex is a good brand. All tampons come with a helpful instruction sheet explaining how to use them. Try to go with cotton if you can... it's better for you, but not by much since most tampons are composed of polyester. If the tampon is kind of dry when you try to insert it, put some intimate lubricant on the tip of it. Depending on how heavy your flow is you should start with the smallest size possible and try to limit super to overnight use ONLY.

All the stuff people say about Toxic Shock Syndrome is true. Some women have used them for 20 years and NEVER had a problem. There is such a risk of getting it, but you shouldn't be overly scared.

But, try to go back and forth between tampons and pads... whatever works best for you. both have their downfalls. Tampons are great during the summertime because they don't emit any odor because they are inside of you and cannot be seen while wearing a skirt or bathing suit. Not to worry, they generally cannot "disappear" inside you because there is a string from the outside of you connected to the tampon that you pull to remove it.

But, if it still hurts.... wait a little bit before using them, you may still be too slender and since your body will continue to change try them in 3 months or so. In that case, use a pad instead. Pads were used a long time before tampons ever came along.

Some boys do use tampons - menstruation is a function of the female body, but some people with female anatomy identify as boys - in that situation it's no different from a girl using a tampon. If a boy is biologically male then the only way he'd be able to use a tampon is if inserted anally, which would be uncomfortable and highly unhygienic - he'd risk anal infections and risk TSS.

Of course!

You can do pretty much anything with a tampon in, that's why there so much better thaan pads! Just make sure to change it frequently, and use the right size. according to how your flow is. "Super Plus, Super, Regular"

I hopee i helped(:

They might not be required, but it's probably a good idea. A jock strap keeps your genitals pulled in against the body, which would keep them from getting caught between your legs or grabbed the wrong way.

If you're using condoms then you need to use them correctly - it's pointless using condoms if you're going to let them come off inside your vagina to risk pregnancy and STI's/STD's. If the condom came off then remove it as soon as possible, at some point you obviously found out you had the condom inside you if asking this question - also, why didn't your partner tell you?! You will need to consider emergency contraception and STI/STD screenings as soon as possible, and be more careful next time.

Using a tampon when not needed is putting yourself at unnecessary risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), vaginal infections, vaginal damage, discomfort, and dioxin exposure.

Tampons absorb vaginal moisture causing damage to vaginal tissues, as well as causing discomfort this gives TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into your bloodstream so putting you at higher risk of TSS - thus using tampons without any menstrual flow will cause significantly higher damage and higher risk.

Yes, tampons are sanitary - thus why they're referred to as sanitary products - but sanitary just means clean, not sterilized. Although sanitary tampons can contain bacteria, especially if they are stored in warm moist areas or not kept clean before insertion. Tampons also encourage bacteria to grow within the vagina so they are not the most sanitary menstrual product, thus various health risks.

No. 10 year old girls do not have to wear tampons. They can if they want to and with the permission of their parent or guardian. But if they want to wear a tampon I would advise them to get the tampon with the applicator because without the applicator its kinda painful first because I'm still a virgin.

No, a tampon cannot get into your uterus as the opening to the cervix (the bottom of the uterus) is too narrow for a tampon to get into. Your vaginal canal is essentially a dead-end as far as tampons are concerned, they can go no further than the vaginal canal. If you insert [clean] fingers vaginally you can feel for yourself that your vaginal canal is only so long ans there's nowhere for a tampon to go.

Tampons wouldn't affect a baby during pregnancy, but there is absolutely no reason why a woman should be using tampons while she is pregnant - tampons should only be used during menstruation, even if experiencing bleeding during pregnancy it is not safe to use tampons as you don't know the blood loss to know what absorbency to use. Misusing tampons this way can increase risk of vaginal infections and toxic shock syndrome - the latter would potentially cause serious harm to the baby.

There is no harm in using tampons when you're pregnant, although pregnancy usually doesn't require tampons. Don't worry about it.

Yes you can, but it is advizable to not swim in shark infested waters what i would says is when you are in the water you dont bleed but the second you get out it starts again so you dont have to wear tampons but when you get out go strait to the toilet

i would say no because when you put your tampons in ,it really hurts.And also when you pull it out it hurts more.Iwould suggest pads there more safer when i wore a tampon i didn't no when to change it.I only wear tapons when i go swimming .But i cry when i take it out.

Yes, of course you can lay down when you are wearing a tampon - just don't sleep with tampons in. There's no reason to think that you wouldn't be able to lay, sit, or stand-up wearing a tampon.

If you have problems laying down while using a tampon then you may not have inserted correctly.

A period is a time when your body is able to produce babies. Sex should start when you are moved out, married, and are probably at least 19. If you have to use a tampon, you're ready, but I wouldn't do it right away.

You shouldn't use a tampon until the second or third time you have had your period also tampons are easier to use if your flow is a little more heaver , the box should tell you all this stuff too if that helps :)

It can be normal if the tampon sits to one side of your cervix or if your vagina is such that the blood only leaks fdown one side of your vaginal canal so only hits one side of your vagina. If the whole tampon isn't getting saturated with blood then it's not safe to be wearing them as this will increase risk of TSS - with less blood to absorb the tampon will dry-out vaginal tissues on that side of the vagina more, causing increased damage that allows TSST-1 toxins easier access to your bloodstream. I recommend trying menstrual cups or softcups, these will solve this problem plus a lot safer and more convneient than tampons anyway so a much better option in general.

It shouldn't hurt at all when you are wearing a tampon, if it does something is wrong.

If it hurts when you sit down it is likely that you have not inserted the tampon far enough, thus as you sit down the vaginal muscles push against the tampon lower down in the vaginal canal. This is common when first using tampons or if you use applicators, next time try non-applicator and push further.
