Is it good for girls to use tampons?

Due to the physiological structure of women, menstruation occurs every month. This is a normal phenomenon in the female body. However, we need to pay attention to girls who are just starting to menstruate, especially when using sanitary products. The choice of sanitary products is particularly important. Generally, sanitary napkins are the main choice. So, is it good for girls to use tampons? Let’s take a look below.

As long as the internal tampon is used properly, it will not cause damage to the hymen.

In fact, unmarried women can certainly use tampons. Because the hymen is a ring-shaped tissue with a hole in the center that allows menstrual blood to flow out of the body. The size of the hole varies from person to person, and the general diameter is 2.5 cm. There are many types of tampons for internal use. You can choose a smaller ordinary tampon, which has a diameter of only 1.32 cm, which is more than enough to pass through the hole in the hymen without damaging the hymen.

The diameter of the cervical opening is 0.1-0.2 cm, while the diameter of a tampon is 1.32-1.42 cm. It is impossible for it to pass through the cervical opening and enter the uterus, let alone enter the abdominal cavity from the uterus. Since the pull string of the tampon is tightly sewn from the top to the tail end, when the tampon is soaked with menstrual blood and becomes moist, it is not difficult to remove it by gently pulling the tail of the string.

However, when using tampons, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of your hands and vulva. Wash your hands carefully before inserting the tampon into the vagina. Do not touch the catheter and tampon that enter the vagina to avoid bringing bacteria into the vagina. The time for changing the tampon depends on the amount of menstrual blood. It is usually changed every 2-4 hours and must be removed within 8 hours. Because the tampon stays in the vagina for too long, it may cause unnecessary trouble and cause pelvic infection.

Therefore, as long as they are used properly, tampons will not affect your health.

Through the above introduction, we now know that girls can also use tampons, but they must pay attention to the correct method when using them. In particular, many girls are worried about breaking their hymen. As long as we use it correctly in normal times, this situation generally will not occur. This is especially important when using it.
