Hello! I am a 34 year old woman. but I have never used a tampon (I made a mistake once due to some gynecological status and I was very uncomfortable for several hours). So my question is how exactly to put it on and can I bathe with it (because I'm in a cycle). Please don't judge me, I know I'm uneducated for that purpose, but what can I do if the bandages are more comfortable for me?

For tampons - read the instructions of OB, people have described it very well. When bandages are more comfortable for you, use them! I also prefer them, especially for the first 2 days, although I put on the tampons correctly, but I don't like them for heavy menstruation. You are 34 years old - wake up! Your body is yours - use whatever you want. You can bathe with a tampon, it is in your body, but not swim. If you are still on vacation, be sure to put a new tampon after each entry into the water, because it is chewed with water full of bacteria and dirt and you will get some disease. There are special swimming pads otherwise, but they are ordered. Ask in sex shops or a pharmacy. Good luck
Of course, you can take a bath and swim and have sex. I only use tampons, never a bandage
Number 3, I wonder how you can have sex when you're with a tampon? haha
Ha ha ha, very funny number 3!
"Number 3, I wonder how you can have sex when you're with a tampon? Lol" Don't you remember? :)
The leaflets on the tampons really really describe what and how ... First of all, it is very important that your hands are clean (washed with soap) before removing and putting on each tampon. You can put it on as you sit on the toilet bowl and you are outstretched so that there is room for your hand, but it is most comfortable to squat, also outstretched. It is placed at a slight incline forward so that it can enter smoothly, I think the pictures even show it exactly, not to push and put it 5 times until you adjust it and rub something. Unscrew only the lower part of the nylon, where the thread is. You stretch the thread tightly to make sure it is strong and there is no defect that makes it easy to break (it has never happened to me, but they say it's good to check it). You grasp with your thumb and middle finger the base that you have already unwrapped on the tampon, the index finger is placed underneath, where the thread comes from. You remove the rest of the package carefully and (now how to explain it exactly) with your fingers bent, mostly the index finger falls, you start to push it forward, gradually, you push it with the index finger inwards, and as soon as it starts to enter you release it. with the other two. The pointer should go almost all the way after the tampon and the thread stays hanging a lot. After placing the tampon correctly, it is NOT felt. This is very important, if you feel it, then you did not put it correctly and you should not leave it like that. I am sure that with 1-2 attempts you will cope. The tampon is good not to stay more than 6 hours, although they give it up to 8, most recommend 4 - many people sleep with tampons, which is at least 8 hours, not a problem. It also goes away if I take it to feel light that it is already full. It is very important that the drops correspond to your bleeding, do not put a tampon with very high absorbency if you are doing very little. The ones below correspond to the absorbency of the bandages, so I guess you already know each other very well, you will quickly adjust to what to put on. There is no problem to bathe, swim or go to the toilet without changing the tampon immediately (of course if you feel uncomfortable with the action itself, change it), it is more important to have clean hands when you do it. Only 2-3 days when you really have a lot of bleeding, it is not good to swim, because even if you use the biggest tampons, there is some chance that you will spread, for example. The tampon is put enough inside so that you don't have a problem with swimming in particular ... And I used them at sea, it had happened that I was in a cycle all days on the beach. Those who tell you such nonsense, and that they feel it, they don't put it on properly! It is removed very lightly, pulling the thread, if the tampon is dry (you thought you had more bleeding, but it is almost not soaked), it will come out a little harder, but it is something special. If he is very soaked, he somehow already feels that he needs to change and he will almost come out on his own: D They are super comfortable, comfortable and you feel very fresh with them. However, I advise you not to use only tampons, but to alternate with bandages when you are at home, for example, at night. Read the leaflet for STS (toxic shock syndrome)! By the way, number 3, I once read somewhere, about a woman who, in order to enjoy sex, first put a tampon and the man and after him ... maybe he was short, I don't know ... but I think they sell even especially such tampons in sex shops:
I wonder why some who can't be useful (number 3) write just to make fun of themselves. Unnecessary spam.
I have no problem swimming with a tampon, especially if it is a tampon for sex.
I have been using tampons for many years, but honestly for the first time here I hear that there was a tampon for swimming and one especially for sex .. Otherwise, it happened to me to have sex with a tampon, but then it is difficult to remove :) As anyway ... The tampon is very easy to put on - you can squat, for example, I sometimes spit a little on my finger and push it as far in as possible. I swim and bathe calmly with a tampon. It can't fall out. Only if you are the first two days and your period is heavy will you have to change it more often. It is.
Thanks to everyone who commented, but I decided I wouldn't die if I didn't take a bath. Even today is my 5th day and there is nothing, but I did not risk getting an infection because of one pool :) Bye! <3
I more or less in the topic - I want to ask - what will happen if I have a weak flow, and I put a tampon with many drops? why not recommend it?
From number 6: I forgot to mention that there are pads with an applicator, which may not be very common in our market, but there are still some - I have seen on TAMPAX in . They are very comfortable to put on and there is no contact of the hands with the intimate parts - I guess they can be used by people obsessed with cleanliness or if you do not have the opportunity to wash with soap, for example. The applicator is like a syringe, it is inserted a little and the tampon is pushed with a plunger - I can't explain it exactly, because I have used it for a long time. I use tampons and I'm very happy, if I didn't have some prejudices (according to some gynecologists they are harmful, according to others not), I would use them absolutely during the whole menstruation, every time :) Number 12, as far as I can't answer you exactly , but my logic is that when the tampon is more absorbent, it may dry the environment in the vagina too much and rubbing may occur. Like the bandages, if you put on a big one and there are 2-3 drops, you feel uncomfortable and you can get a rub on the skin. I know that they should not have more drops, because if it fills up too quickly and if you do not change it soon, it begins to form clots that stick to the uterine wall and while they clear make it difficult to capture a fertilized egg. That's why I know that if a woman wants to get pregnant more easily, it's a good idea not to use tampons during trials. because when it fills up too quickly, and if you don't change it soon, it starts to form clots that stick to the wall of the uterus and, as they clear, make it difficult for a fertilized egg to catch.
