What is the use of tampons? A sanitary tampon is a female hygiene product that can replace sanitary napkins. However, many women are unaware of tampons. The following experts will introduce you to the uses of sanitary tampons.
The built-in tampon is a menstrual sanitary towel placed inside the vagina, which directly absorbs menstrual blood from the body. It is made of a piece of safe and hygienic pure white cotton wool tightly compressed, with strong absorption; Once in contact with menstrual blood, it will rapidly and evenly radiate and expand towards the surrounding area, gently approaching the vaginal wall, absorbing all menstrual blood in the body. Therefore, it can prevent leakage and keep the body clean and dry.
It should be noted that tampons are not new, on the contrary, they have been used by women for centuries. Egyptian women use soft papyrus to make toilet rolls, while Byzantine women use soft wool (white) to make tampons.
In the mid-1930s, a vaginal (built-in) tampon was first patented in the United States. In the 1940s and 1950s, after many European and American experts conducted research and confirmed the safety of sanitary tampons, women in Europe and the United States began to widely use this internal product with good absorption capacity.
The tampon will not damage the hymen, because there is a small hole in the middle of the hymen, and the diameter of the tampon is about 1.8-2.5cm. The diameter of the tampon is only 1.5cm. Even if the cotton sliver absorbs the menstrual blood and expands, it is easy to pass through the tenacious hymen without causing any damage.
The most common products in the market now, such as Johnson&Johnson O. B, are produced under strict quality control. The hygiene indicators comply with international standards, and are sealed and packaged with plastic film, especially equipped with plastic finger covers, which can prevent bacteria from coming into contact with the body, making it very hygienic and safe. Clinical trials and long-term use by European and American women have shown that using tampons does not promote the proliferation of bacteria and microorganisms.
Because the muscles of the vaginal wall are elastic, the cotton strip will be fixed in its original position and will not easily move. And the cervix at the top of the cotton strip is too small to allow it to pass through and enter the uterus.
The tampon is favored by many women due to its built-in and high absorption capacity, but due to its insertion into the vagina, it forms a closed space. If replaced irregularly, it is easy to cause rapid proliferation of normal bacteria and infection inflammation in the vagina, which is more likely to become one of the causes of toxic shock syndrome. When the menstrual blood volume is too low, if the tampon is not frequently replaced, long-term use can lead to menstrual blood reflux, leading to gynecological diseases such as endometriosis.
