Are tampons really hygienic?

Tampons are sanitary products used by women during their menstrual period, but not all women use tampons, and some question their safety and hygiene. So in the face of such a situation, let us now give you a detailed introduction on whether tampons are safe and whether they are beneficial to our reproductive health.

You cannot use tampons to prevent menstruation if you miss your period

Some women use tampons to prevent menstruation a few days before it comes, which is wrong. Because the vagina will be dry at this time, inserting a tampon can easily cause friction damage to the vagina and make it prone to bacterial infection. The correct way is to use sanitary pads instead of tampons, and only use tampons when your period actually comes.

Tampons should not be left unchanged for a long time

If tampons are left in the vagina for too long, it is easy for bacteria to grow and infect the vagina, leading to vaginal diseases such as vaginitis. It is best to change tampons within every 2 hours.

It is not advisable to use tampons for heavy menstrual flow

It is not appropriate to use tampons when the menstrual flow is heavy, because the tampon soaked with menstrual blood will block the vagina, causing the menstrual blood to not flow out smoothly, and easily flow back into the uterine cavity, causing poisoning in the body. Moreover, women who have blood clots are not suitable for using tampons. Tampons can only absorb menstrual blood but not blood clots, and tampons block the vagina, causing blood clots to be unable to be eliminated.

The vagina is one of the parts of women that needs special care. Improper use of tampons can easily cause vaginal bacterial infection and increase the risk of vaginal diseases. Therefore, you should be cautious when choosing tampons. Although they are small and convenient, they can easily cause disease if used improperly.

I believe that after understanding the above introduction, you should know the benefits and advantages of tampons. In fact, female friends should not be blind in the use of these sanitary products, because the correct use of these sanitary products can better avoid the occurrence of some reproductive diseases.
