Can you try a tampon even if your not on your period?!


Question: Can you try a tampon even if your not on your period?
I have started my periods but not on at the moment but i am buying tampons ans was wondering could i try it and see if i like them and whether they are easy to insert

Answers:

Take the actual tampon out of the applicator. Plastic can be practiced with, cardboard may stick. Make sure not to put the tampon (cotton part) in you. When you're not on your period there isn't much moisture and the tampon can get stuck, hurt to try to remove and can lead to infections or worse, TSS. Also, practice a bit with an applicator and throw it away. Don't save it for later.

If you can't find tampons with an applicator, some countries sell mainly non-applicator kind, don't practice. Just use a clean finger to get used to inserting something.

Just remember, never insert tampons (applicator is fine, as said above) unless you are on your period with a flow. Even if you think you're going on it. No blood on tissue, no tampon. Even a really light period could be too little menses, blood, for a tampon.



It's possible, but very, very painful to remove and increases chances of Toxic Shock Syndrome (or TSS) - look it up. Just wait until you get your period, it's much safer and it won't be painful! You can practice using the applicator but put it into a water bottle; then you can see what it looks like and how to use the applicator risk-free!



yes it won't hurt anything. try using vaseline to make it easier. just be sure not to leave it in. they should be switched every 6-8 hours to prevent toxic shock syndrome. it's very easy and much more comfortable than pads.



you should not do this. using tampons when not on your period can cause you pain, and damage your girl parts.



NO!



I wouldn't!
