Tampons

Tampons

Tampons are one of the most discreet, effective, and safe solutions for feminine hygiene. Their adaptability to a woman's body shape is one of their most notable factors, allowing for unrestricted mobility. They are ideal for active, dynamic women who exercise or simply seek greater freedom in their daily routine.

They are made of cotton, rayon (an artificial cellulose fiber of plant origin), or a blend of both, ensuring discretion, avoiding a wet feeling and the risk of unpleasant odors. You can choose from a wide variety of options on the market, from the most popular ones with applicators that improve the user's experience and safety, to more eco-friendly and environmentally friendly options.

Tampons with applicator

There are several types of tampons. However, the most commonly used is the applicator tampon, designed to facilitate insertion into the vagina. This additional device, usually made of plastic or cardboard, offers several benefits compared to the digital tampon.

• Greater hygiene : The first advantage of the tampon applicator is that it prevents direct contact with the fingers, thus reducing the risk of introducing bacteria.
• Ease and comfort of insertion : The applicators are very useful for everyone, especially for beginners or on days with lighter flow that generate greater friction during insertion.
• Variety of sizes and absorbency : Tampons with applicators come in a variety of sizes, from mini to larger, with varying absorbency levels.
• Ergonomic applicators : There are many types of applicators, from plastic to cardboard. Many brands have perfected their design, either with a rounded tip or a smooth surface, ensuring greater comfort and less friction.

Useful information about tampons

Although tampon use has become popular, it still raises questions, especially among those who haven't tried them. Discover why tampons are one of the most used options by millions of women around the world.

How to insert a tampon?

Inserting a tampon is easier than it seems.

1. Wash your hands well before doing so.
2. Relax in privacy and adopt a comfortable position, either sitting on the toilet or with one leg elevated.
3. Insert the tampon (with or without an applicator) into your vagina. Insert it gently, pointing toward your lower back. Never insert it vertically. For greater comfort and safety, we recommend choosing tampons with applicators.
4. Make sure it's properly seated: the most effective way to verify proper installation is to not feel it. Don't forget to leave the cord outside for easy removal.

Remember, the process may take some practice, but don't give up because it will become more natural and faster over time.

Can you sleep with a tampon?

Of course! Just as you sleep with a pad, you can also sleep with a tampon, as long as you follow the maximum recommended usage time. You can't extend its use for more than 8 hours without changing it. If you sleep longer than that, we recommend opting for a higher-absorbency night pad. Avoid risks.

How long does a tampon last?

This will depend on your menstrual flow and the type of tampon you use. In general, it's recommended to change it every 4 to 8 hours at most. If you find you need to change it before the 4-hour mark, you should consider choosing a different type of tampon that offers better absorbency. However, if after the recommended time has passed, you notice it's still dry or difficult to insert, consider choosing a tampon with a lower absorbency to avoid vaginal dryness.

Are tampons safe?

Absolutely, as long as they're used correctly. Tampons are highly regulated and clinically tested products. Prestigious brands differentiate themselves by using safe, hypoallergenic, and dermatologically tested materials.

Featured tampon brands

There are a wide variety of brands on the market. But there are some leading names that stand out, among others, for their high quality and reliability.

• Tampax tampons : stand out from the crowd with their innovation and confidence in every detail. Tampax was one of the first brands to offer tampons with applicators and has led the market for decades. Their cutting-edge applicators, with a rounded tip and smooth insertion system, make them easy to apply. They offer a wide range of absorbency levels to suit different days of your cycle.
• Ob tampons : They are also a benchmark in the world of intimate care and hygiene. Unlike Tampax, their tampons do not include an applicator, making them more compact and discreet. They are designed for more experienced women with tampons who value the minimal presence of additional materials. Their ergonomic design with patented curved channels helps distribute flow evenly, helping to prevent leaks. Additionally, some of their models are eco-friendly, as they are made with 100% organic cotton and are bleach-free.
