Tampons

I don't know what Miley Cyrus uses for her periods - pads, tampons (and pads), menstrual cups, softcups, free-flow, menstrual release, etc. Whatever she uses on her period is up to her and no one's business but hers. Given as homelessness is a cause she supports, I'm guessing that she'd prefer you to care less about her menstrual options and consider helping provide options for homeless women.

Yes, it's perfectly healthy to swim during your period.

You don't have to use tampons, you can use other options such as menstrual cups, softcups, diaphragms, menstrual sponges, or soft tampons - you cannot swim in a public pool without using internal menstrual products as bleeding in the pool is not nice for others or for you to have people see you bleeding in the pool. If you can't use internal menstrual products then you can't swim in public pools, you can swim in private pools or natural water but bare in mind that blood will leave your body so may be noticeable (especially getting out of the water).

Season 6, episode 4. It´s named "The Terrance and Philip movie trailer.

there was no such thing as a tampon back then. that is how the saying "got ya rags" came about

There's a snap-ring on the end of the shaft. Make sure the open part of the ring is pointing down when you insert it into the trans.

Many of them already are, but even after the digital transmission changeover in Febuary 17, 2009, many can (and probably will) continue to use the old 525 line NTSC format recorded programs, but will have 'line doubled' the picture to be compatible with the digital transmission systems.

The Army does not supply them to you, but they can be purchased at the Post Exchange (PX) store(s) located on base.

This is really based on your personal preference. In my experience, a majority of women seem to use tampons as there is less mess. However, if you are young, you may find that pads are the best way to go until you get more used to the way your body is changing.

If your home is on a sewer line, you can flush them. If you have a septic system, wrap them well and put them out with the trash. DO NOT flush tampons with a septic system - ask anyone who works for a septic system maintenance company. They'll have plenty of horror stories to tell you.

Yes, sports tampons work as well as any other tampons for swimming - tampons are essentially all the same: absorbent wads of cotton or rayon, the design offers very little additional protection. A swimmer would be better off considering menstrual cups as unlike tampons cups can be worn even when flow is light or before menstruation to be prepared, cups also don't leak or increase cramps as tampons can. You can use any internal menstrual product to swim on your period.

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.

Tampons can't get stuck inside you. Tampons can go no further than your vaginal canal, this is because at the top of the vaginal canal is the cervix (opening to the uterus) and a tampon cannot pass through this. As long as you relax and you're using tampons correctly you can remove a tampon - if you struggle then you'd need to see your doctor for help to remove the tampon.

No, tampons are not good for kids and there's no reason for kids to be using tampons.

Tampons are for people who are menstruating, and should be avoided in pre-teens and teens.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Take a little bag such as a make-up bag with you, keep several pads, tampons, a menstrual cup, softcup, or whatever other sanitary products you use in there. Also carry any other items you may need such as disposable sanitary bags for used tampons and pads, or spare underwear in case of leaking.

Tampons don't come in sizes, they come in absorbencies. The lowest absorbency is a Lite absorbency, which holds 6g of flow.

Most of the time, women who think they've lost a tampon have not. If you aren't sure, squat down and put one finger in your vagina as you bear down. You'll feel the cervix, with a texture like your nose, at the end of your vagina. Feel around the outside of the cervix (like drawing a circle with your finger around your nose). Do you feel a tampon? if not, there's probably not one there. If you're still not convinced, see your health care provider or your local family planning agency. They can reassure you in a matter of minutes.

For the most part nothing happens, the tampon will work just as it would normally. However it is possible for water to get into your vagina so be absorbed by the tampon, if this happens then the tampon may fill with water so make it a little more uncomfortable and more likely to leak. If concerned try wearing tampons in the bath to see how they work out, or consider menstrual cups which don't absorb water or leak like tampons.

Tampax is a brand of tampon, it's used during menstruation to be inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual flow to stop it leaving the body. Due to health risks of tampons, and increased awareness of better options like menstrual cups and softcups, more women are choosing to stop using Tampax.

No, tampons cannot stretch your vaginal opening.

The vagina is a muscular tube so cannot be stretched - just like your arm cannot be made longer by exercising more. Your vagina is designed to allow a penis to enter it and a baby to come out of it, in both cases although the vagina will stretch to accommodate these things it will always return to normal - tampons are so small it wouldn't even need to stretch.

Tampon use may stretch the hymen - the hymen is a thin piece of tissue surrounding the vaginal opening, normally there's enough room to allow a tampon through without any problem, but if your hymen is wider using a tampon may stretch the hymen. The hymen is simply left-over tissue from development in the womb, it serves no function so it being stretched or torn makes no difference to your vagina or anything else.

You can, but you shouldn't.

Your vagina is self-cleaning so doesn't need any sort of product to help keep it clean - using cleaning products on the outside of your vagina, let alone inside, is unhealthy and unhygeinic as it can effect vaginal flora leading to odour and infections. Even so-called feminine washes pose risk as even if they claim to be pH balanced they cannot match your own pH.

Tampons pose high risk of TSS and vaginal infections - using tampons when not menstruating, or putting anything chemical on tampons before insertion, will increase risks of TSS and vaginal infections. This should not be done.

Your mom probably has some personal reasons. You should ask her to get the right answer, but one of my friend's moms thinks it causes cancer. Just to let you know it DOES NOT. My mom didn't want me to start out with tampons because they're so invasive. It's a little bit scary to think about, to be honest. So, maybe because she's so young:)
