Tampons are a menstrual product introduced from abroad in recent years. Since tampons are easy and convenient to use, they are now very popular among some female friends. However, although tampons are simple and convenient, they are also very susceptible to infection by bacteria if you are not careful. Therefore, tampons should be replaced from time to time when used. So, how long should tampons be replaced? Tampons are not unfamiliar to most women. A sanitary plug is a sanitary strip, also known as a tampon. It is a cotton cylinder that can be inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood when a woman has her period. However, there are some precautions when using tampons. Improper use can easily lead to vaginal infection, gynecological diseases, and affect your health. Below we will introduce some taboos in the use of tampons, hoping to draw your attention. Four forbidden areas for using tampons Generally speaking, using tampons (or sanitary plugs) seems to be a natural monthly "routine", but gynecologists point out that if used improperly, it will increase the risk of bacterial infection. Let's take a look at some of the prohibited areas for using tampons: 1. Use tampons before your period starts Reason for danger: If the vagina is dry, inserting a tampon may cause slight abrasions, which may give bacteria an opportunity to invade. Safety measures: Use sanitary pads as a precaution and switch to tampons when menstruation really comes. 2. The tampon is not replaced after more than 8 hours. Why it’s dangerous: Over time, bacteria begin to grow and release toxins. Safety measures: Change it every 4-6 hours. If the amount is large at night, change it in time the next morning. The above is a brief explanation of how to use tampons and when to replace them. I believe that now everyone should have a general understanding and knowledge of how long to replace tampons. I hope it can be helpful to many female friends. Here, experts remind female friends that when using tampons, do not keep the tampons in the vagina for more than eight hours. |
