Tampons

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.

It's VERY unlikely that a tampon would fall out - tampons are held in place by the vaginal muscles, the vaginal walls also close around the tampon which help keep it in place - if a tampon did fall out of your vagina when using the bathroom you should see your doctor as there is a problem with vaginal muscle tone. If a tampon was to fall out then you would unfortunately have to scoop it out to throw it in the bin.

when using a tampon... u simply have 2 stick ur foot up on a toilet. then put ur fingers on the tampon. find the opening of ur vagina and open it. put the tampon under u and push the tampon into ur body. next, take ur pointer finger that was holding onto the tampon and push the tampon into ur body. pull the non - tampon part out of ur body and throw it away. the tampon will suck up the blood. after 4 - 6 hours... pull it out and throw it in the toilet. replace with a new one.

when you go to change it if there are still white patches on it, try a lighter flow one next time or if you need to change it more regularly or it leaks then try a higher absorbancy tampon to find the right one for you. :)

There is no direct evidence to support the idea that tampons cause cancer, however many brands of tampons are bleached with chlorine or oxygen gas bleaching which creates the byproduct of dioxin - dioxin is a cancer-causing toxin, repeated exposure can increase risk of certain reproductive health problems and cancers. It is thus advisable to opt for non-bleached cotton tampons, or consider safer options such as sponges, non-bleached cotton pads, cloth pads, menstrual cups or softcups.

No, long-term use of tampons does not cause infertility. It is however important to point out that tampons can contain substances such as dioxin, which are linked with infertility and endometriosis - we don't know exactly what other toxins may be present in tampons or the full risks. If concerned consider safer options like pads or menstrual cups.

Some men wear tampons for the same reason anyone would use tampons: they menstruate.

Some men have a vagina and a uterus so will still menstruate and so need to use tampons, pads, or cups in order to deal with that, just like women who menstruate. Some men will also use tampons to deal with nose bleeds, they are the perfect shape to fit into the nostril to soak up the blood.
