"How to Use Tampons? The Correct Way to Insert a Tampon"

Tampons are relatively simple and convenient sanitary products used by women during menstruation to absorb menstrual blood. By inserting a tampon into the vagina, they help maintain cleanliness and hygiene, bringing great convenience to women. When using tampons, it is important to use them correctly to avoid introducing bacteria.

To use a tampon:

• Wash your hands thoroughly.
• Remove a tampon and peel off its cellophane packaging.
• Untie the end with the cotton string and straighten the string.
• Gently flatten the sides of the tampon so that the tip expands into a small umbrella shape.
• Put the finger cot provided in the package on your index finger, place it inside the umbrella-shaped groove, and pinch the tampon with your thumb to prepare for insertion.
• Adopt a comfortable and natural position, such as sitting on the toilet with your legs spread, one leg on the toilet seat, or standing with your legs apart and bent. Gently push the tampon in using your index finger.
• Try to relax during insertion. Since the vagina has a certain curvature, push it slightly inward and upward. If you feel resistance, change the angle.
• Push until the second joint of your index finger is fully inside the vagina. If you can still feel the tampon, push it in a little further. If positioned correctly, you should not feel the tampon's presence. After proper placement, the end of the string will remain outside the vaginal opening.

Benefits of Tampons:

• Excellent Anti-Leakage Protection: Have you ever planned an outing with friends but couldn't enjoy yourself fully during menstruation, fearing that excessive movement might cause menstrual blood to stain your clothes? No matter how exaggerated your movements are, a tampon will stay put inside your body, allowing you to confidently navigate your menstrual cycle without worrying about leaks.
• Dry and Breathable: Especially for women in coastal areas, the hot and humid weather can cause excessive sweating, leading to a wet, sticky, and uncomfortable feeling. Since sanitary pads are directly attached to your skin, they may not provide good breathability. Tampons, on the other hand, are inserted internally, providing a dry and breathable experience during menstruation.
• Freedom in Clothing Choices: Have you ever given up wearing your favorite clothes during menstruation, fearing the embarrassment of staining them with menstrual blood, or even canceling important activities? As the saying goes, "Paper cannot wrap up fire," and neither can a sanitary pad fully contain menstrual blood. One of the benefits of using tampons is the freedom to wear whatever you like without being constrained by menstrual clothing restrictions.
