Si quiero saber si son adecuados y como usarlos cuando me lleguen mi periodo

Okay so tampons are totally safe to use, even for your first period, and tons of people use them. It's really just a personal preference! Some people love them because they can feel more invisible, especially when you're swimming or doing sports, but others prefer pads.

How to use a tampon

Using a tampon might seem a little tricky at first, but it gets way easier super fast. Just take your time and it's totally fine if it takes a few tries.

• Wash your hands: Always do this first so everything is super clean.
• Unwrap it: Take off the wrapper, but don't touch the part that goes inside you.
• Find the right position: You can sit on the toilet, stand with one foot on the toilet seat, or squat. Whatever feels comfy for you.
• Hold it right: If it has an applicator (which is usually a plastic or cardboard tube), hold the outer tube with your thumb and middle finger. The string should be hanging out at the bottom. If it doesn't have an applicator, you'll use your finger to push it in. Those are called digital tampons.
• Insert gently: Relax! If you're tense, it can be harder. Point the tip towards your lower back, not straight up. Gently push the applicator into your vagina until your fingers touch your body. Then, use your pointer finger to push the inner tube all the way in until the tampon is released. If it's a digital tampon, just use your finger to push it in. You shouldn't feel it once it's in correctly!
• Remove the applicator: Carefully pull out the applicator. The string should be hanging outside your body.
• Wash your hands again: Boom! You're done.

When to change it

You should change your tampon every 4-8 hours. Never wear it for longer than 8 hours, even if your flow is light. You should also choose the smallest absorbency that works for you.
