Every woman wants the best for her body. That is why Tampax is here to reassure you that our tampons are completely safe to use. With four different sizes, you have a lot to choose from. Tampon sizes are based on the amount of fluid they absorb, with most women using a Regular absorbency. If you want to start with the smallest size tampon until you figure it out, try the Light size. If your tampon leaks in just a few hours, then go up. If your tampon is uncomfortable to change, then go down. Most people find that a regular or higher absorbency tampon, such as a super-size tampon, is best for them at the beginning of their period, then they switch to a lighter absorbency towards the end. Can I use a tampon for spotting? Light - Low absorbency tampons, recommended for light bleeding or spotting, which usually occurs in the last days of menstruation.

Regular - Tampons designed for medium period blood flow, most often occurring around the middle of menstruation. Yes, you can! Tampons can be worn for up to eight hours during the day or night. They give you full protection and stay in place no matter how much you move around when you sleep. But if you typically sleep more than eight hours every night, you should use a pad instead. Always remember to never leave your tampon in for longer than eight hours. Can I use tampons for discharge? Super - Absorbent tampons, which usually work well during the first days of menstruation when bleeding is heavy. Whether you use pads, tampons, a menstrual cup, or period underwear is totally up to you. There are lots of period products to choose from, and the choice is yours to make. Sometimes it depends on what you’re doing. For example, if you want to go swimming during your period, a tampon will make your life so much easier (pads don’t work in pools). Some people only use tampons as part of their routine, and other people never use anything but tampons. It really just depends on what works best for you! Why use Tampax Pearl tampons?No. You should never use a tampon for spotting or discharge. Using a tampon in anticipation of bleeding, or as a precautionary measure could harbour infection, as tampons need moisture to expand and work properly. Use a pantyliner or sanitary pad instead. What’s the best tampon size for beginners? Super plus - Our most absorbent tampon, recommended for maximum protection against leakage on heavy flow days. Learn about the different types of Tampax tampons and select the best level of absorbency for you and your flow. Exploring the Advantages of Utilising Various Tampon Absorbencies Choosing the right absorbency level, however, isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Some women may begin with high-absorbency tampons and gradually switch to lower absorbency ones, while others might start with light absorbency tampons before moving to super absorbencies later in their cycle. And some people might find that medium or light absorbency tampons work well for them throughout their cycle. Increased comfort: A correctly chosen tampon is comfortable to both wear and insert. For example, on light flow days, using super plus absorbent tampons might be unpleasant for insertion and removal. But you have options - opt for low-absorbency tampons and experience comfort at all times!
