How to use a tampon

For female friends, the issue of using tampons cannot be ignored, because we all know that women will use sanitary napkins or tampons during menstruation, but not all women can recognize and understand the correct way to use tampons. Therefore, we will give you a detailed introduction on how to use tampons.

There are many sizes of tampons. If you are using one for the first time, it is recommended to start with a smaller size. You can choose one that is easier to insert when your menstrual flow is heavy. When inserting it, try to relax as much as possible and make sure the tail is on the outside, as this will make it easier to remove. Generally speaking, there will be an adaptation period when you first use it, and it is inevitable that there is something stuck. However, it may also be that it is not inserted deep enough. You can dip some water-based lubricant at the front end to assist. In addition, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of your hands, because many bacteria can be transferred from your hands to the tampon and then to the genitals, causing inflammation. People who use it for the first time can choose to wear a sanitary pad with less menstrual blood to avoid menstrual blood leaking out in unfamiliar situations and causing embarrassment.

I used tampons before, but not often. I was practicing swimming recently and didn’t want to interrupt my studies, so I started using tampons again. However, I experienced dizziness, vomiting, and even lower abdominal pain. Why is this happening?

Please make sure you have good hygiene habits when using tampons. Tampons, like sanitary napkins, should be changed every four to eight hours. If the amount of fluid is large, it needs to be changed more frequently. When engaging in water activities or swimming, tampons will absorb water, so it is best to change tampons after swimming, because many bacteria may enter the vagina through tampons, causing dizziness, vomiting, vaginal inflammation and other uncomfortable symptoms. At this time, you should stop using tampons immediately and go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for treatment as soon as possible. It is appropriate to use them again after the treatment is cured!
