The tampon absorbs menstrual blood in the vagina to prevent menstrual blood from leaking out. So you can swim, SPA and soak in hot springs, but when you are engaged in these activities, in order to avoid embarrassment, you must pay attention to timely replacement, choose the right flow and place your seats correctly so as not to miss it.
The myth of cotton sliver
Many women who have no sexual experience have the biggest doubt about using tampons, that is, will tampons hurt the hymen? According to the research published by Dr. Aimans in 1994, there is no significant difference between the hymen of women who are used to sanitary napkins and those who are used to tampons. The reason is that the hymen is an elastic tissue, and its opening is about 2.5 cm, while the diameter of the tampon is about 1.5 cm, so it will not cause great damage to the hymen if used correctly.
You can still use tampons when you sleep at night, but for a long time at night, you can choose tampons with weak absorption to use with tampons. If you still have health problems, you can use tampons instead.
Some women use tampons in order to be able to engage in activities such as swimming and soaking in hot springs during the menstrual cycle. According to the physiological structure of the human body, water will not run into the vagina, but when using tampons to engage in such activities, attention should be paid to hygiene and cleanliness.
Some people are worried that the cotton thread (drawstring) will break. Because the sliver is a high-density compressed body, the cotton thread is tightly pressed into the sliver body, and the cotton thread can bear more than three kilograms of pulling force, so there is no need to worry about the cotton thread breaking.
Dr Lauren Ruswann of the University of Melbourne said that only 2% of women in China use tampons, and many people don't know how to use tampons, or even have heard of them. In western countries, although users of sanitary napkins still account for the majority, the proportion of using tampons has greatly increased. It is estimated that in the United States, 42% of women use tampons, while 62% choose sanitary napkins.
Dr. Ruswann explained that, first of all, many women are reluctant to touch or approach their endometrium, so apart from tampons, menstrual cups have not been popularized. Secondly, some women think that tampons are not hygienic enough and may even lead to toxic shock syndrome. Another popular saying is that tampons filled with asbestos will increase women's bleeding and even lead to their death from hemorrhagic shock. But in fact, these statements are all nonsense. No matter which country produces tampons, asbestos is not one of the production components.
