1. How do I use a tampon (non-applicator type)?
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Open the wrapper and pull the string to widen the base for an easier grip.
- Insert using your index finger: place your finger in the pocket, sit or stand comfortably (one leg raised works well).
- Relax and insert gently at a slight angle toward your lower back. If you feel it, push a bit more until it’s fully inside. The string should remain outside.
- To remove: wash your hands, relax, gently pull the string, dispose properly, and wash your hands again.
2. Which size tampon should I start with?
- Teens or Mini – Ideal for beginners or light flow, smaller and easier to insert.
- Normal – Best for regular, moderate flow.
- Super – For heavier days.
- Super Extra – For very heavy flow.
- Multipack – A mix for varied needs.
3. How often do I need to change my tampon?
- Change every 4 to 8 hours to stay fresh, prevent leaks, and maintain hygiene.
- For light flow, Teens or Mini can last up to 6–8 hours.
- For heavier flow, Normal, Super, or Super Extra may need changing every 3–6 hours.
- Never exceed 8 hours of continuous use.
4. Are tampons safe for teens?
Yes—completely safe as long as the right size and proper use are followed.
- Teens and Mini sizes are recommended for beginners.
- Tampons do not affect virginity or cause bodily harm when used correctly.
5. Is inserting a tampon painful?
Not usually. If inserted correctly, you shouldn’t feel it.
- Ladouce tampons are soft and smooth for gentle insertion.
- Relaxing helps—tension makes insertion harder.
- Adjust the angle if it feels uncomfortable. Once inside properly, it’s unnoticeable.
6. Can a tampon get “lost” inside?
No. A tampon cannot pass through the cervix, and the string always stays accessible for removal.
7. Does using tampons increase the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?
TSS is extremely rare and not uniquely caused by tampons.
- Reduce risks by changing tampons every 4–8 hours.
- Always wash your hands before and after insertion.
- Use the lowest absorbency needed for your flow.
