Tampons

Going swimming won't cause the tampon to get lost in your body. The vagina is a dead end, and the tampon has nowhere to go.

Having used one I don't see how it could be left in for 6 months. They are not comfortable to wear. If this did happen the bacteria build up would result in toxic shock syndrome resulting it entering the bloodstream and result in death If not taken to a hospital. These things are not something you fool with or forget.

Tampons are dry and absorbent so will cause friction against delicate vaginal mucosa during insertion - especially if using commercial tampons such as Tampax, Playtex, Kotex, etc. as these are made from bleached chemically-treated rayon so rougher and may cause irritation.

Absorbency is a factor too, if using too high an absorbency or your flow isn't heavy enough for tampons the lack of lubrication will cause discomfort - too high an absorbency also increases risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. If using correct absorbency but still feeling discomfort try organic tampons, soft tampons, or sponge tampons, also consider menstrual cups or softcups.

No, a tampon cannot get stuck in the uterus.

Tampons sit within the vaginal canal, at the top of the vaginal canal is the cervix which is the opening to the uterus - the opening within the cervix is too small for a tampon to pass through, also the tampon sits slightly lower down than the cervix.

It sounds gross, but you have to reach up in your vagina with your fingers and pull the tampon out. There really isn't another safe way to do it other than having a doctor remove it (which isn't necessary). DO NOT try to pull it out with anything other than your fingers.

There is no reason why using a tampon during pregnancy would be a problem. Pregnancy usually comes with a lack of periods, though, so tampons aren't needed. If you're pregnant and bleeding, you need to consult with your prenatal care provider right away.

because you finger bang all the time so when youstick a tampon in you get wet cuz it feels like a dick is up your vagina all day when yousit it shoves in more did you know also that tampons are the reason people get the blue waffle disease cuz it feels like rough sex also blue waffle isn't a bad disease Google it on images and look at about the 3rd picture in.... also don't use tampons or pads use toilet paper pads have cemicals that seep in to your vaginal area and tampons well i already explained

No. Tampon packets always say that tampons are only safe for use when you have your period. There would not be enough discharge to fill a tampon and this would increase your risk of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). For discharge, you would be better off using a pantyliner.

The last day or so of your period may just be so light that you are no longer passing the blood from the uterus but also the clear discharge from glands in your vagina or mucus from your cervix that is colorless.

To avoid Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), it is recommended that tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours or more often if necessary. Also recommended: use the correct absorbency and alternate between pads and tampons.

No because the water wash it away, most people believe this is so, because they have not seen blood. But I'm a master degree doctor. The water never stops moving. Your ministration never stops flowing until your ministration period is over.

Wearing a tampon after the LEEP procedure will irritate the site where the skin was removed, possibly removing the clot and causing bleeding. The end of the tampon will interfere with your body's ability to heal the site. Use pads for a couple of weeks until the skin heals.

Yes.

Very low. The hymen doesn't cover much of the vagina so normally there's enough room for something small like fingers or tampons to fit through, the hymen is also flexible so can stretch to accommodate larger things such as speculums or penises. The hymen does not 'break', it can tear but often only if penetration is rough or forced. Even if the hymen does tear it's not a problem as it serves no function, means nothing, and doesn't normally cause any pain.

Yes you can, however, the doctor does recommend that you avoid wearing them at night. If you do use them do not be surprised if they clot wraps around the tampon, or comes out when you go to the restroom. Tampons tend to be more clean, and less aggravating. You can always try it, and if you don't like it stop then. It would probably be best to do it on a Saturday or when you do not need to go anywhere that way you can get used to it. Good Luck!!

No.

Tampons go into the vagina - the opening between your anus and your urethra, where discharge and blood comes from. However if you are unaware of your anatomy it's not a good idea to use tampons, learn more about anatomy and sanitary options first.

yes, but it is not very likely usually only if you are going hardcore. if you are worried try a second method such as birth control or something like that. talk to your obgyn about the most effective safe sex methods.

It's a myth that TSS only occurs from leaving tampons in too long - most TSS cases occur within the first 2-3 hours of use.

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) occurs when certain bacteria multiply and start creating TSST-1 toxins, these toxins enter the body via vaginal tissues and damage caused by tampon use, if you lack immunity to TSST-1 toxins they overwhelm the immune system leading to TSS. If a person lacks immunity to TSST-1 toxins then the effect is immediate, these toxins don't wait until X number of hours to take effect.

If a tampon is left too long this increases the likelihood of bacteria responsible for TSS multiplying to unsafe levels and starting to produce TSST-1 toxins, likelihood of TSST-1 toxins accumulating to unsafe levels, and of TSST-1 toxins entering your body and having a serious effect. There is no specific time-frame when you may contract TSS or start to see symptoms.
