Tampons are a safe and effective method to absorb the menstrual flow during menstruation. They are convenient and easy to use. They are a single-use menstrual product. Do not use the same tampon for more than 8 hours.
When determining the type of tampon that is right for you, it is advisable to choose the one with the lowest absorption needed for your flow amount. Being able to use a tampon for 8 hours without needing to change it may be an indicator that the absorbency of the tampon is too high for your needs. On the other hand, needing to change it before 4 hours of use may mean that you need a higher absorption level.
As a precaution, please note: if using a tampon causes unusual symptoms such as pain, physical discomfort, fever, dizziness, vomiting or any kind of allergic reaction, you should immediately remove it and contact your doctor.
