Tampons are a type of menstrual hygiene product designed to provide comfortable and discreet protection during a woman's menstrual cycle. Made from absorbent materials such as cotton, rayon, or a blend of both, tampons are shaped like a small cylinder with a string attached for easy removal. They are available in various sizes and absorbencies to accommodate different levels of menstrual flow.
To use a tampon, it is inserted into the vagina where it expands and absorbs the menstrual blood. Tampons are a popular choice for their convenience and ability to provide protection during physical activities such as swimming and sports. It is crucial to change tampons regularly, usually every four to eight hours, to maintain proper hygiene and reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
