Tampons

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.

STEP1:first they remove their panties nd put some oil in their vagina so a sto achieve a kind of lubrication.

STEP2:then they open the packet of stayfree nd put a stayfree pack overtheir vagina. That's all........

Yes, you can wear a tampon while taking doxycycline, no matter the reason you're taking it. Even if you are being treated for chlamydia, wearing a tampon will not affect the treatment.

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.

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

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.

There's no reason why they wouldn't. Presumably the rate at which Chassidic women use tampons v. pads is similar to the general American populace.

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.

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.
