European and American women use it more.Because Asians don't like itsuppository, tampons are rarely used among women in Asian countries.
It is made of mixed materials, with a diameter of 1 cm to 1.9 cm, and cotton thread (drawstring) attached at the end.The arc degree of the tip of the tampon varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, allowing users to choose according to their own usage habits.There are usually linear or twill indentations on the body of the tampon, which can increase the ability of the tampon to guide flow, and can fit with the vaginal wall when absorbing menstrual blood.The duct type tampon is attached with a paper or plastic plastic catheter, which is convenient for users to import the tampon.The overall structure of conduit is divided into outer tube and inner tube.The surface of the outer tube is smooth, and the front end is round for easy insertion.The front end of the outer tube has a petal like opening.The function of the inner tube is to push the tampon out of the outer tube flap opening in a piston type pushing way.
The marking method of tampon: two drops of water indicate that the absorbance is between 6 and 9 grams. Like the tampon, the tampon has different absorbance. Since the absorbance of the tampon is considered to be related to the poisoning shock syndrome in women, after 1988,US Food and Drug Administration(FDA) clearly sets the standards for the absorbability of tampons.

We will teach you how to use tampons.Usage Guide Difficulty: Easy
Step 1: choose the right tampon according to your menstrual flow (less, moderate, more).
Step 2: Wash your hands with warm water and soap.
Step 3: Take out the tampon from the package.
Step Diagram of Sliver Usage
Step 4: Put the inner tube of the cotton sliver into the body, about several inches, not too deep.Hands must reach the outer tube.
Step 5: Push the inner tube forward and push the cotton sliver into the vagina.
Step 6: Remove the catheter (outer tube and inner tube) together.
Step 7: The thread connecting the cotton stripe must be left outside the vagina.
Step 8: wrap the catheter with toilet paper and throw it into the garbage can.Never flush it into the toilet.
Tips and advice Use a cotton sliver that meets your minimum flow requirements.
① Slowly place the tampon into the vagina, without hard tamping.
② In the first few days of menstruation, it is best to use it with a pad.
③ The package of tampon has instructions for use.You must read it first.
④ You won't feel the sliver inside your body.If you feel like this, it proves that you are not deep enough.Remove it and replace it with a new tampon.Before pushing the inner tube from the outer tube into the vagina, try to extend the outer tube slightly into the vagina.
⑤ To prevent leakage, replace it every 4-8 hours.
⑥ PreventionToxic shock syndromeNever leave the tampon in the vagina for more than 8 hours.
If you have any questions, immediately ask your doctor or consultant.
cellophaneWrapped tampon with cellophane packaging: wash your hands before use, tear the seal on the tampon, remove the cellophane at the end, loosen the cotton thread, hold the end of the tampon with one hand, remove the cellophane at the end with the other hand, and then place the tampon into the vagina, with a depth of about two knuckles, and the cotton thread exposed.
A component of a catheter type tampon.The one on the left is the outer tube.In the middle is the cotton sliver itself connected with the cotton thread (drawstring).On the right is the inner tube.Conduit packaging: The tampon of this kind of packaging is completely wrapped in the conduit, so there is no need to worry about hand contact pollution.When using, connect the front end of the outer tube of the catheter with theorificium vaginaeContact, push the inner tube forward, push the cotton strip into the vagina in a similar way to injection, and then remove the catheter (outer tube and inner tube) together.
The tampon placed in the vagina can be placed in three positions as shown in the figure: sitting, standing with slightly bent feet and standing with one foot on the chair. The purpose is to make the vaginal opening slightly open, so that the tampon can be placed smoothly.If it cannot be inserted smoothly, you can slightly change the angle of insertion, and then it can be inserted smoothly.If you feel the existence of tampons when walking and moving, it means that the insertion depth is not enough, and you can put it deeper.
When taking out the tampon, just pull out the tampon with cotton thread (pulling rope). If you can't find the cotton thread, you can push the tampon out of the body with force. If you can't remove the tampon from the body smoothly, please call a professional doctor for help as soon as possible.

Many women without sexual experience have the biggest doubt about the use of tampons, that is, whether the tampons willhymenCause injury.According to the research published by Dr. Emans in 1994, the habits of women without sexual experiencetamponThere was no significant difference in hymen between the users and those who were accustomed to cotton sliver.The reason is that the hymen is an elastic tissue, with a straight opening of about 2.5 cm, while the diameter of the tampon is about 1.5 cm, which will not cause great damage to the hymen when used correctly.
The tampon can still be used during sleep at night, but it takes a long time at night. You can use it with a tampon with weak absorption. If you still have health concerns, you can use a tampon instead.
Some women who use tampons are to be able to engage in swimming, hot spring and other activities during the menstrual week. As far as the physiological structure of the human body is concerned, water does not run into the vagina. However, when using tampons for such activities, attention should still be paid to hygiene and cleanliness.
Others worry that the cotton thread (drawstring) will break.As the tampon is a high-density compression body, the cotton thread is pressed tightly into the tampon body, so that the cotton thread can withstand a pull of more than three kilograms, without fear that the cotton thread will be pulled off.
come fromUniversity of MelbourneDr. Lauren Ruswan of China said that only 2% of women in China use tampons, and many people do not know how to use tampons, or even have heard of it.In western countries, although the number of people using sanitary napkins still accounts for the majority, the use of tampons has increased significantly.It is estimated that 42% of women in the United States use tampons, while 62% choose sanitary napkins.[1]
Dr. Ruswan explained that, first of all, many women are unwilling to touch or approach their ownendometrium, so in addition to tampons,Menstrual cupIt has not been popularized.Secondly, some women think that tampons are not hygienic enough, which may even lead toToxic shock syndrome。Another popular saying is that tampons are fullasbestosAsbestos can increase the amount of bleeding in women, and even cause death due to hemorrhagic shock.But in fact, these statements are nonsense.Asbestos is not the production component of tampons produced in any country.[1]

The tampon should be replaced in time.
Suggestions of experts from various countries on the use time of cotton sliver:
German Health Authority:
Replace at least twice a day
U.S. Food and Drug Administration:
The tampon can be used for up to eight hours
Hungarian Chamber Obstetricians and Gynecologists:
It should be replaced every six to eight hours
Australian Health Ministry:
It should be replaced every six to eight hours
The time interval for replacement will also vary according to the number of people and the flow rate. Users can use the cotton thread as the basis for replacement according to whether there is bleeding.
Cotton thread is easy to be covered when using the toiletExcretaIf the cotton thread is found to be polluted, a new tampon should be replaced.

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS): Nearly half of TSS occurs in women during menstruation. Fortunately, this disease is extremely rare.Because tampon and vaginaepithelial cellsTight contact may causeResistanceDecrease, because the replacement interval is too long, the endometrium is dried and cracked due to the absorption of the tampon, resulting in aStaphylococcus aureusget intoThe blood circulatory system, generatedsore throat、have a fever, joint andMuscle sorenessThe symptoms of blood pressure decline, even shock in severe cases.The absorbability of tampons is so good that users may think that they need not change them frequently, which increases the chance of infection. Therefore, they think that the absorbability of tampons is related to toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
The way to improve is that users should pay attention to their own use conditions and be diligent in replacing tampons. It is better to use tampons and tampons alternately.
