Why do my tampons smell bad and leak after reusing them for 5 months?!

You probably are forgetting to complete your tampon chants prior to insertion and upon removal you must always remember to bless them. In only takes a few forgotten chants and blessings to cause your tampons to start smelling off and leak. I suggest immediately shoving your tampon in your mouth to complete your tampon chant and perform it's blessing. One this is finished your tampon will be back to being good to go.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're trying to fool us. If not, well, tampons are disposable, which means after each use you throw it out and use a new one. Reusing tampons though I'm not even sure is possible can cause infection. That would be the bad smell.

i hope you are kidding. i can't imagine it's even possible to reuse a tampon as it can only hold a few tablespoons of blood. that is why you must change them every few hours max. not doing so can introduce infection as well as increase your risk for tss

Well, you really aren't suppose to reuse your tampon. They are meant for one time use, and then disposal. They are suppose to be flushed down the toilet after a few hours of use, maximum....
