Tampons are abnormal?

So basically how do you know what absorbancy you are? its not close to i measure how much blood i lose during my term..i used a regular one and it barely engrossed and it just go out the side onto my underwear! what the heck! it was so abnormal

any advise??

Answers:    Was this one of your first times using a tampon? It sounds similar to it might not have be inserted properly. It should go far ample up that it's not sticking out and you can't really feel it. If inserted properly, the tampon should hold been soaked through beforehand it leaked.

As far as knowing what absorbency to use, that take a little practice. Try varying your tampon every 4 hours. If it's soaked, you need a heavier absorbancy. If it still looks alien, you need a lighter absorbency. Ideally you'd want to transmutation your tampon every 6 hours or so, and it should have obsessed a lot but not be completely soaked.

For me, I know I use street lamp tampons for the first day, regular for a daytime, super for a day or two, regular for a morning or two, and then desk light until the old brown blood is gone.
no indignation to ppl who use tampons but i dont think its a accurate idea to use them. of late stick with pad...i heard from a lotta ppl that tampons arent well-mannered for you. but if you do wanna use them...dont you just use the bigger ones on ur unhealthy days and the light ones when you are roughly speaking to end your interval? You are on the right course of action. Try the subsequent level up. I would suggest that you wear panyliners until you know how very well the tampon is workings. Also, for the first day lots gals have to wear backup liner. Good luck, it is a very individual process into getting this down.
It's a polite idea to hold several absorbancies on hand.
it sounds close to you need a super absorbancy . convert your tapon every 3-6 hours make sure its contained by tight You should wear a panyliner with your tampons of late in skin. You either want to change your tampon more frequently and stick beside regualr, or mov up to a super. Lighter days require lighter absorbancies. So use regular on light days, and super contained by the middle. You should dvelop a semi-patter with how you use your tampons.
Knowing what absorbency to use take a little practice. I don't believe that they really expect you to measure that amount of menstrual blood you're losing, but you probably do know when your flow is heavier or lighter.


If you're unsure what absorbency to use, use a tampon AND a pantyliner at indistinguishable time and be sure to check on it every few hours. This way you own something of a learning curve because if you overflow, it doesn't matter, and after in the adjectives what absorbency you need. Usually at the start of my interval, though, I am heavier and need supers for the first light of day or two, but then the flow taper off and I do a daytime or two of regulars and then a afternoon or two of lights, but everyone's period is different.
Depends what daylight of your period it is. You'll probably make out a pattern. For me I start desk light, really light so lites or junior would work. The next hours of daylight is a little heavier so I use regulars. Then I budge up to supers. Sometimes I even have to use super plus. Then my time of year goes fluffy again and I use regulars. Use the lowest absorbency you need respectively day and coppers your tampon every few hours. Try using a name brand instead of the cheap open-handed. That makes some difference contained by quality/absorbency. And as far as knowing which size to use, start out with the 'regular' size and when you silver it, notice how much blood is on it and resolve to size up or down accordingly.

Health teacher always vote "every one's period is unique" and they're not kid. Get to know your body and how it works.
As others have said, there's no substitute for the "trial and error" method. Change it every 3 hours or so, or when it's leak too badly. If it leak too badly within less time, use a larger (super, super-plus) tampon. If it have barely anything within it when you take it out contained by 3 hours, use a smaller (junior) one. Adjust from there.

If you hang on to it in much longer than that, you risk toxic shock syndrome, for which you may entail to go to the hospital and which could be mortal. I do not suggest tampons for overnight use. To completely avoid this risk, do not use tampons.

Keep wearing pantiliners or even use regular pads until you know how long the tampons will final at a particular time during your term. Or, wear a pad anyway if your flow is totally heavy or if you want to be 100% sure of NOT leak.

If the flow bypassed the tampon, it's probably the manufacture or type of tampon. Try a different brand.
I use playtex sport and what i do is i start near a regular and if it leaks past 4 hours is up i switch to super, if not consequently stay with regular.
