USE THE LOWEST ABSORBENCY TAMPON YOU CAN (the lowest that will manage your flow). Most people use a regular or higher absorbency tampon in the beginning of a period, then they switch to a lighter size toward the end.

 

Tampon shouldn’t leak after an hour or two and it shouldn’t be uncomfortable to change (too dry when you remove it).

CHANGE TAMPONS FREQUENTLY, IDEALLY EVERY FOUR HOUR

 

By current recommendations of tampon producers’, tampon should ideally be in use for 4 hours and not more than 8 hours. We believe that 6 hours is the timing you should’t cross and Tampon track automatically sends you reminder that is set by you. If you ignore this reminder, you’ll get the CRITICAL REMINDER after 5.30 h from the time you inserted the tampon. If this will be ignored too, after 6h from insertion AN URGENT SMS  goes to your emergency contacts.

DURING THE NIGHT USE ONLY PADS and hygienic pants, TAMPONS are NOT recommended for NIGHT USAGE!

 

Scientific research advise that healthy adults should sleep 7-9 hours per night and teens even more, 8-10 hours per night. Sleep is essential at any age since it powers the mind and restores the body.

Tampons make a lot of things easier, for example if you want to swim during your period, pads don’t work. Movement in general is much more comfortable with tampons than with pads (especially during sport activities), but when you sleep, there is actually no need to use tampons and since you should sleep enough hours to restore your mind and body, that already puts you in the timing where you could cross recommended time for tampon usage.

 

Why should you worry about being exhausted and sleeping longer than is recommended to have a tampon inserted? Wear a pad instead!

USE MINI PADS WHEN YOUR FLOW IS LIGHT.

 

The tampon shouldn’t be dry when you remove it and at the end of your period you can manage your flow with light pad to avoid this problem.

BEFORE SEX CONTROL TAMPON STATUS IN YOUR BODY

 

Always remove the tampon before having sexual intercourse otherwise it could get stuck or “lost” in your vagina.

 

Vagina is an elastic canal and having intercourse while a tampon is in, is possible. The tampon can then be compressed at the top of the vagina, near the cervix. The cord that normally stays outside of the body can get drawn inside the vagina and removal is difficult.

AVOID A “LOST” TAMPON SITUATION

 

The tampon can’t really be lost. It is just retained there in your vagina and you have hard time finding it. The cervix at the end of your vagina has just a tiny opening for blood and semen to go through, so the tampon is too big to go through.

 

If you are having difficulties removing your tampon, try pushing — as if you were about to poop – squat or it may help if you are standing with one leg on the top of the toilet seat. Move your fingers inside of your vagina, especially towards the top and back. Once you can feel the tampon or tampon string, grab it between your fingers and pull it out.

 

Retained tampon can be a result of:

• inserting a new tampon before removing the previous one (use Tampon track box and APP so you’ll have automated reminders and alarms)
• forgetting the tampon is inserted when the end of a period is reached or
• having sexual intercourse while a tampon is still in.

You can avoid all these situations using TAMPON TRACK!

 

Advice if you have a “lost” tampon situation:

Ask your best friend/husband or partner to help you find the tampon or go to the doctor. Bad smell during sexual intercourse could (among other things that could be the cause) be the sign of a “lost” tampon.
