OB Tampons per Comfort Normal - 16st

Product Information

By following the simple guidelines below, as well as the instructions that come with the tampons, your first experience with tampons should be easy. Remember, the more you relax, the easier the insertion will be. When you are nervous, your muscles tense up, which can make inserting the tampon more difficult.

Organic tampons aren't just easier on the environment, however, they also provide some additional health benefits for your body. Organic tampons are made with 100% organic cotton and are free of rayon, chlorine bleaching, or pesticides, says Erica Montes, MD, board-certified OB-GYN and feminine health advisor. Although regular tampons are safe and usually free of harmful chemicals, organic period products are a great choice if you’re sensitive to non-organic tampons or prefer using hypoallergenic, sustainable products, says Sherry A. Ross, MD, OB-GYN. If you’re on hormonal birth control like the Pill or a vaginal ring, Dr. Streicher points out that you don’t need to have a period. The Pill and vaginal rings are designed to have a placebo period when you’d typically get your period, but Dr. Streicher suggests just skipping over that part. “Get rid of your period,” she says. “It’s perfectly safe to use these methods continuously. Certainly, a tampon shortage is a good reason to do it, but you can do it any time.” Buy tampons with applicators. Tampons come in two basic types: with applicators, or a plastic tube that will help you push the tampon up into the vagina. Having the help of an applicator will make life easier when you're first learning, so choose a box that includes them. (In the U.S., O.B. is the primary brand that sells without applicators––most other brands have them.) Once the tampon is inside of your vagina, use your index or “pointer” finger to push the tampon in.Tampons themselves do not cause TSS. TSS is caused by bacteria, usually called Staphylococcus aureus. When a tampon is in your vagina, it creates a perfect environment for different types of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, to grow. The bacteria make a toxin that causes severe illness. Younger teens are less likely to have antibodies against the toxin made by these bacteria. You will probably never get TSS, but it’s good to know what the symptoms are and how to lessen your risk. The type of applicator matters, too. While Dr. Shepherd says you can try out different kinds of applicators to see what feels the most comfortable for you, plastic applicators are known for being a little easier to use. Who needs a pesky applicator, anyway? These tampons get right to the point without an applicator getting in the way, which also reduces the amount of waste they produce. And if you have sensitive skin, you’ll appreciate this design, since there’s no applicator irritating the body during insertion.

ISBN 1135949069 The applicator is a bit easier to use than some brands due to a substantial ridge for improving grasp. They come recommended by experts, too. Dr. Montes says this is one of the top two brands she recommends (alongside Tampax).Once the applicator or outer tube is inside your vagina, use your index or “pointer” finger to push the inner tube (the tube where the removal string is visible) through the outer tube. This pushes the tampon into the vagina. While there are tampon options out there, experts caution against trying to create your own tampon with cotton pads or rolls. “There could be a concern with some retained products in there,” says Christine Greves, M.D., a board-certified ob/gyn at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies. Meaning, some of the cotton could get left inside you where there’s a risk it could lead to an infection. With clean hands, unwrap a tampon and tug on the string to make sure the string is firmly attached to the tampon.
