In fact, did you know that women have 6-7 years in their life limited by physiological period. So it's very important to choose suitable sanitary products. How much do you know about tampons?
Advantages of sliver:
1. Clean: fresh and breathable, not sticky, and not sultry and humid in summer
2. Leak proof: Mom doesn't have to worry about me washing sheets and underwear when I get up in the morning
3. Portable: it's convenient to take out, and it's more environmentally friendly than sanitary napkins
4. Freedom: you can also swim during menstruation. There is no problem in sports. You are not afraid of embarrassment when you go to the seaside to play
5. Hygiene: the sliver will be absorbed by blood before contacting with air and causing peculiar smell, greatly reducing the chance of bacteria breeding
Disadvantages:
I'm nervous when I plug in and pull out. I'm always worried about wetting the rope when I pee. The current mainstream brand or ob, feeling will aggravate dysmenorrhea. The first time I use a foreign body, I feel very obvious. I can hardly walk. When I get used to it, I feel like it doesn't exist at all. I feel free and comfortable.
In fact, tampons are not modern products. As early as in ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, women used softened linen or papyrus as tampons. If you still have all kinds of puzzles about tampons, Xiao Bian will answer them one by one today!
1. Can you swim with cotton sliver?
Sliver can block the blood flow through, so it can swim, snorkeling and deep diving without pressure. However, after swimming, the sliver will be wet. Please change it immediately.
2. Will the sliver disappear?
Each sliver has a thread for you to pull out after being congested. This thread can bear the pulling force of more than three kilograms, so it is not likely to break. But even if it does break, the sliver won't run into the womb by itself and can be removed with fingers. Remember, it's a tampon, not a tadpole.
3. Can't you use cotton sliver when you sleep?
The longest time to use a tampon is eight hours. Basically, it is recommended that you replace it every four to six hours, so you can use a tampon when you sleep. And I will change it in two to three hours during the day. At night, I will use a tampon with a large amount of sleep absorption and get up to change it.
4. Is it possible to die or amputate with tampons?
I think this is the biggest misunderstanding of sliver. Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is caused by the following factors
1. The tampons have not been replaced for a long time
2. Xerosis of endometrium
3. Staphylococcus aureus enters the circulatory system
4. High fever and vomiting.
In fact, this disease is very rare, as long as frequent replacement of sliver, you can reduce the risk.
Can I use tampons for virgins?
From a professional point of view, absolutely can! Hymen is a circular tissue, central hole, can let the blood flow out of the body. The size of the hole varies from person to person, generally 2.5 cm in diameter. Choose a smaller tampon, diameter is only 1.32 cm, generally will not damage the hymen. In addition, the diameter of the cervix is 0.1 ~ 0.2 cm, while the diameter of the tampon is 1.32 ~ 1.42 cm. It is impossible to enter the uterus through the cervix, let alone enter the abdominal cavity from the uterus.
6. Will it cause blockage?
No, in fact, the sliver is not blocked like a bottle stopper. It just absorbs the liquid. When the sliver is fully absorbed, it will no longer be absorbed. It will flow out along the small rope, and then it can be replaced in time.
7. What if you feel uncomfortable putting it in?
There are no nerves in the final area where the sliver is placed, so it doesn't cause discomfort. In fact, you don't feel it at all. Unless you put it in the wrong place. If there is discomfort, it must be that the position is not deep enough. You need to try several times to find the right position.
8. I want to change it as soon as I go to the toilet. When should I change it?
It's easy to pull out the full cotton sliver. You try to pull the small thread. If you feel that it moves smoothly, it means that it's almost full and needs to be replaced. If you feel stuck, you don't have to change it. If it hurts when it's taken out, it's because it hasn't had enough blood. Just let it stay a little longer.
How to do when wet?
Small line after waterproof treatment, don't worry. But still want to pull, pull to one side, stick to the thigh root on one side. After peeing, just wipe the line. Pull the toilet forward (up).
10. Can you use tampons no matter how much they are?
The tampon itself has a size. It is recommended to use regular in the daytime and super in the evening when it is difficult to replace. In the next few days of my aunt's life, the quantity is less, so I don't need to use pads instead.
11. Will it fall out with it?
The muscles in the vaginal wall are very elastic and will hold the tampon, so don't worry about leakage. There will be a thread at the end of the sliver. Just pull the thread when you need to take it out. The cotton thread is firm and won't be easily torn off.
12. Which is more hygienic than aunt's towel?
Tampons are hygienic, much more hygienic than sitting on a large pool of menstrual blood and Escherichia coli in summer. It's like when you have nosebleeds, will you roll a paper and plug it in your nostrils, or wait for it to flow all over your face and then paste it with a large piece of paper?
For novice girls who have not used tampons, how to choose tampons?
1. Type:
Now there are two kinds of slivers on the market, one is finger type, the other is catheter type. Fingering, as the name suggests, is placed with the fingers. And Xiaobian even more recommend you, especially the new user to use catheter type. Many brands of sliver have detailed instructions, you can refer to. Note that girls with shorter vaginas are more suitable for fingering.
2. Brand:
Tampax, Kotex and Playtex are the three major brands of tampons in the world. They are rarely sold in supermarkets in China, but they can be bought on e-commerce websites. Don't think that the O.B. you bought in the supermarket is the basic tampon, it's the devil's tampon! Dryness and pain are the fault of O.B., not the problem of tampons. The wind evaluation is extremely bad, and many girls' tampon tours are intercepted by it halfway. The three brands of tampons are all equipped with tubes, which can minimize the friction, generally do not cause obvious pain, and avoid direct touch with hands.
3. Specification:
I suggest that regardless of age, it's better to use light and regular size for the first time to let the body adapt and eliminate psychological tension. Light is the smallest, the absorption is the smallest, girls can also accept, if the flow is medium, it can be changed in 4 hours. Regular or regular people can't accept it. It's really difficult to pull out the rough ones. L and R are more suitable for Chinese people.
After reading so many popular science knowledge, are you eager to try? Don't forget to see the correct steps of using tampons!
1. Wash hands and hold the handle of external catheter with thumb and middle finger.
2. After relaxing, push the catheter upward 45 degrees to the vagina until the finger touches the skin of the vaginal opening.
3. Push in the inner catheter with the index finger until it overlaps with the outer catheter.
4. Pull out the catheter completely to avoid pulling the cotton thread.
If you feel uncomfortable and have a strong sense of foreign body, it means that you are not in the right position. It's normal to be nervous when using a tampon for the first time. Because menstruation has menstrual blood, vaginal wall is wet, plus the role of catheter, as long as you relax, push the tampon to the right position, OK!
Conclusion: I believe the above knowledge can eliminate your worries about tampons. If you haven't used it, you might as well try it. Maybe it will open a new door to the world! Whether you like aunt towel or tampon, the most important thing is to pay attention to hygiene and replace it in time!
