With many feminine hygiene products available in the market, it has become difficult for us to choose. Tampon is a convenient product used during periods, which, unlike pads, is inserted into the vaginal opening to absorb menstrual fluid during your periods. No matter how much someone is physically active, those 5 days of the periods are such that they do not feel like doing anything. Fear of staining, worry of moving the pad or the tension of heavy flow. However, we women now have a lot of measures to handle periods such as sanitary napkins, tampons and menstrual cups. If you don’t know anything about tampons, let’s tell you everything about this product. Today, we’ll also tell you how to use Tampons for the first time & why do tampons hurt?

Tampon is a very good and comfortable and simple way to deal with a menstrual cycle. You will get it online and offline at starting prices of 7$. However, it is equally true that ‘tampons’ are not as popular as other sanitary napkins. But this we can say with the claim that there is a lot in them that will motivate you to use it.

What Is Tampon?

Tampons are disposable period product made by using materials with a very high adsorption capacity, which are pressed into a small, cylindrical shape. Let’s say it’s a small plug, which fits properly inside your vagina and it absorbs your menstrual blood.

Just like pads, period tampons come in different sizes or have different “ability to absorb” according to your menstrual flow. There are different tampons for low flow, simple flow and high flow.

Most girls start with sanitary napkins during some of their early periods. But many of them later start using tampons for convenience. With vaginal tampons, you can participate in sports, gym classes and even swim.

What Is Tampon Made Of?

There have been tremendous changes in tampons, and today’s strong tampons are made by mixing more absorbent materials such as cotton fiber, rayon fiber, or sometimes both. Rayon fibers used to make tampons are cellulose materials found from wood pulp and cotton fibers are from plants.

These materials are compressed together in a cylindrical shape and the tampon diffuses when exposed to the menstrual fluid. Due to which, the tampon easily fits between the walls of the vagina and absorbs the period blood well and completely.

Tampons have long been used by women around the world. These have been used for almost thousands of years and were initially made using tampon natural materials such as papyrus, natural sponges, tightly wrapped rags of cloth, etc.

How Long To Change?

Tampons can be worn for 6 to 8 hours at a time.(1) After that, you should change. Why?

Using the tip of the tampon, open the folds of skin on your vagina and slide inwards, tilting the entire barrel toward your back. The tampon will not go in easily and can cause dor when put directly up and in.
Put it in your middle and thumb, the applicator’s grip – or middle – in the middle.
Once the barrel is comfortably inside, hold your index finger on the small tube to push the exploitative part of the tampon into the vagina and push it with your index finger. Push the tampon until it reaches the grip and your other fingers.
Using your thumb and middle finger, pull out the barrel of the tampon, leaving the string to hang out. Don’t pull the strings! The tampon is inside and connected to the string. After the tampon is drenched, you will use it to remove the tampon.
Place the applicator back inside the plastic lining (or wrapped in toilet paper) and dispose of it properly. Do not flush the plastic applicator.
If you still can feel the tampon, then you can pull it out and go for a new one, and lifting it up. If you think it can’t be high enough, wash your hands and put your finger and push it up further until you can feel it.

3. How to dispose of tampons?
