Now periods is something that all are shy to talk about, but it’s not something to hide it happens every month to a female and its sources of the most beautiful gift in the future. The human body is designed in a way that should not be ashamed of. Periods are something in which the blood is released every month from the woman’s vagina. The flow of blood can vary from person to person. Pads are the most commonly used in the highest percentage of females. However, the major problem that women complain is about the rashes and the stains that happen when you have a heavy flow. You might be thinking that pads do come in sizes and they must be apt if one goes for the extra large ones. However, trust me one it’s, not something that one can 100% rely on. Moreover, the biggest problem is the uncomfortableness and the rashes that happen when one uses pads for consistently for 5-6 days.
The alternatives to pads are the tampons and the mensural cups that are available in the market and are known to be more period friendly comparative to pads. Today we are going to talk about tampons where I am going to tell you how they are used and what measurements one has to take before using it and what are the myths about it.
A tampon is a small object that is made of cotton, and it soaks double the amount of blood that an extra large pad can soak. It looks small, but when it is inserted inside the vagina, it opens up and absorbs blood without causing any rashes, and you might not even feel like something inside you.
