      It's not about using Tampoons/Sanitary Pads. People get bacterial infections/reactions because of hygiene problems etc. Changing Pads, tampoons frequently is a good practice to follow. Don't leave the pad/tampoon for long, otherwise, it becomes breeding ground for Bacteria.

      not only, the tampoons are not desinfected, there have always bacteria inside, and if you stick it inside it is even worth bcs you block them out with blood and they get propagated even faster. THIS IS WHY NEVER PUT THEM INSIDE!!! USE JUST THE PADS SLIPS BETER DESINFECT ThEM BEFORE W. SPIRITUS BUT WASH YOURSELF MINIMUM 2 TIMES PER DAY!!

      Ashleigh it actually doesn’t matter how long you leave it in. You can have it in for 5 mins and still get TSS. There was this one case where a 14-year old died after using a tampon for the first time. She followed all of the instructions and used the tampon correctly; it was simply the introduction of the tampon into her body which caused toxic shock syndrome to take effect.

    • @oitsme912

I just hate dealing with other period items especially that diaper feel of a pad so I have to resort to tampons. Also why are they so expensive and taxed, we don’t ask to have periods every single month😤
