What types of tampons are
The tampon is made of a special fiber which has a pronounced absorption properties. Increasingly using densely compacted fibers of viscose, at least - wool. Their main task is to keep the inside of the entire volume of fluid. The filler is stitched.
Medicated tampons impregnated with special substances - anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and herbal decoctions. Their task - to help in the treatment of inflammatory infectious diseases, numb.
During use tampons should not forget that there are several types of tampons:
- Mini - small in size, suitable for a scant secretions or on the first and last days of menstruation.
- Normal - used for moderate menstruation.
- Super - suitable for use in the middle of the cycle, when the discharge abundant.
- Super Plus - for long-term wear, such as when traveling or at night, as well as abundant Regula.
Respectively, the wrong choice of size leads to the fact that the tampon in the patients, and in swelling of the discharge discomfort intensifies. Normally, the discomfort is not observed, the swab is not felt, when have to change (at least once every 3-4 hours), there is no leakage of blood.
use Features
The most user-friendly application is swab with a special applicatorWhich allows not to touch the filler, respectively, reduces the risk of entering into the vagina of pathogenic microflora. Inserted it faster and easier due to the rigid body.
To use the standard product without the applicator, you must enter it as deeply as possible. It is with these problems sometimes occur. Thus, with insufficient introduction of the tampon into the vagina it can be felt, to fall out, to pass outwardly allocation.
With applicator
A feature of the applicator means is the presence of rigid casing inside which is itself a tampon made from absorbent material and securely stitched strong filaments. Rigid housing consists of two parts, one of which is introduced directly into the vagina, and the second as it pushes the inner material. After that, the applicator is completely removed and is no longer used.
Sufficiently large applicator can sometimes cause discomfort upon administration. This is especially true nulliparous women and those who have a narrow vagina.
Funds with an applicator also have different sizes and are designed for a different amount of emissions. Sometimes their mark on the package drops - from 2 to 6, rarely names - from "mini" to "super".
Using funds from the applicator is more hygienic:
- you do not touch directly to the filler, so the skin germs and bacteria do not reach the hands of the tampon;
- using no need to introduce the fingers into the vagina immediately, which reduces the possibility of injury to the mucosa;
- such hygiene products more convenient, a woman can fully control the injection depth.
Despite the presence of the applicator means are stored in individual packages that provide their complete sterility. Outdoor advance and unused time is desirable to throw the swab.
without applicator
The absence of the applicator greatly complicates the introduction of hygiene inside the vagina. But such tampons are compact, cheaper but also easier to control the depth of insertion and proper installation.
To insert a tampon:
- remove the packaging carefully pre-washed his hands and wiping them dry;
- thread straighten and move aside;
- Take a comfortable position - for example, standing, behind and slightly lifting one leg;
- insert the tampon slowly until the finger comes into the lower vagina department.
If you start keeping the wrong end of the tampon will not properly absorb and can fall out. Be sure to deploy the thread before use and make sure that it is provided on the outside.
Hygiene products such plan can be used by very young girls, and even virgins. Picking the right size (mini or standard), it is allowed to use it even in the presence of the hymen.
Difficulties with the extraction
pull out a tampon you need a certain period of time. The duration of 6 hours, but guided by their own feelings. On the need to replace say the following factors:
- discomfort, a feeling of swelling in the vagina;
- the flow of blood in the underwear;
- falling outside;
- occurrence of burning and itching in the vagina.
toxic shock syndrome, whose connection with the use of tampons is a long established, developing due to improper use and too long to wear products. The immediate cause TSS - staphylococcus and other pathogenic microbes, which are part of the vaginal microflora.
Under normal circumstances the immune women completely blocks the activity of streptococci and staphylococci by producing superantigens. But the use of a swab of schedule, the use of hygiene products with high absorbency often lead to intensive reproduction of pathogenic microbes. As a result of developing sepsis, threatening complications, including death.
In addition to proper administration, retrieve such funds must also be accurate. Do not strongly pull the string, otherwise it can come off, and pull the swab will be difficult. When you remove can be used standing or lying position, legs should be diluted in hand to the vaginal opening.
If the swab is entered correctly, the cause of pain may lie in the peculiarities of the structure of the genital organs, and inflammatory processes. When the timely replacement of hygiene, proper selection of the size according to the amount of discharge will not be any discomfort. Furthermore, the absence of nerve fibers in the lower parts of the vagina in the presence of pain suggests the development of pathology.
As a result of prolonged wearing the absorbent material swells, so the delayed replacement becomes very painful. Moreover, moist environment, body heat absorbent layer make an ideal medium for the development of pathogenic microorganisms.
It is always better to use the tampons are less absorbency and replacement every 2-4 hours, than use super-absorbent agent for extended wear.
The main contraindications
Often it is more convenient to use pads because of the lack of need for the introduction of a foreign object in the vagina directly. But there are also direct contraindications for the use of tampons:
- inflammation of the urinary or reproductive system;
- allergic disposition of the body - you can not use funds from the flavoring or the inclusion of plant extracts;
- risk defloration - some girls before sexual debut, the hymen is located below, so if you use may be damaged;
- the use of suppositories, creams or other means for local exposure in the treatment of diseases of the uterus and vagina;
- days after delivery of less than 3 months;
- increased dryness of vaginal mucosa, or related diseases caused by the use of tampons;
- even a single occurrence of toxic shock syndrome in a woman's history.
Gynecologists also recommend the use of them for a long time, when it is impossible to carry out hygienic procedures and replace hygiene. For example, on long trips or at night, it is desirable to use pads to release all leaving a woman's body.
During puberty with caution, you can use the smallest pads by volume and only when it is really necessary, for example when swimming in open water or employment sports. At a young age the risk of TSS higher due to lack of the required concentration of antigens in the blood that can defeat pathogens.
The use of such hygiene products - it is practical and comfortable, allows you to not change daily habits and stay active. However, follow the instructions for insertion and removal, do not neglect the treatment of external genital organs during the change and try to trim the right size in terms of discharge during the critical days.
