is it ungodly for women to use tampons?

Um, I honestly don't think God cares much either way.

they teach me that women are pigs in public restrooms and have no problem throwing used tampons on the floor and to always check your TP supply before you sit down because the woman in the next stall probably won't share.

Yes it is okay to use a tampon when your going swimming. Iv'e done the same thing your wondering about and it was fine with me but just make sure to brings extra's just in case. But i think it will be fine. Because i went swimming with a friend and i wore one in the pool and nothing came out and everything was great.

they used cloth woven into thick layers.  these were replaced as\nneeded and washed, for further use.  as for tampons,they were introduced in the united states around the late 1920's or early\n1930's.  i believe, that they were not out in the public during their \nmenstrual period as much as usual.  it was and still is a very \npersonal part of a woman's life.  we don't go around announcing\nthat we are on our period.

i do tampons by day - pads by night - you don't want to wear tampons ALL the time, it is bad for you and you could get TSS (toxic shock syndrome)!

i have a hard time with it. Think it is a womans choice but women in general should try to avoid situations requiring one.\n\nTheir reasons to do it. Ah well.

Actually on occasion someone can lodge a tampon way up there causing toxic shock.  It's frightening, and happened to a friend of mine,...I don't like tampons, prefer the old pad, but just be careful to change them often.\n\nSorry, about your question..I do think it's highly unlikely during intercourse for a man to enter the cervix.\n\nGood luck :)

I was always afraid to use tampons too.\nBut now that I do use them I can not imagine ever using pads again.\n\nThere is instructions on the box. Just read them and follow them. Remember they wouldnt sell as many as they do if they were as dangerous as it sounds like they are.\n\nThe chances of one getting stuck is slim to none. And if nothing else remember they have a string!!! As long as that is hanging out there is no problem.\n\nStart with a small size. They make minis and teen sizes. Also make sure you are getting it far enough up...it is uncomfortable if you do not put it up far enough.\nFollow the diagram given it will be ok!

Tampons, pads feel like a diaper.  The media equally advertises both.  Yes I talk about it with my boyfriend because I complain about it all the time.

If it's really little, you might be uncomfortable wearing a tampon.

She might be scared that you could get toxic shock syndrome from using the tampons, which "is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a bacterial toxin," often occuring from tampon use during menstruation. But this is so rare, and the incidence rate is so low nowadays, that it is ok to use tampons.

Hi, Registered Nurse here; Take a deep breath, this is obviously causing you considerable unrest.  Okay, let me see here if I understand correctly first off all. You don't like to be touched in the genital area when on your menstrual cycle?  If this is correct, it's not uncommon, and I'm not at all sure you have a problem.  However, you have communicated that you have thought about it and it's true.  So, I think I'm missing something here, so I'm going to try and feel in the blanks, and if I'm wrong please forgive me.  Speculating here, that your referring to your sexually partner touching you in that area when menstruating, so if you wear a tampon, you feel you would be more comfortable.  Well dear with a tampon, you should not have sexual intercourse when one is in place, and for foreplay, well that isn't really advised wither with a tampon in place.  I don't think there is anything stupid about your question.  I have a tendency to believe someone is putting pressure on you, to do things your not comfortable with while on your menstrual cycle.  I think it safe to ask this person to just back off.  Lots of females, prefer not to be sexually active during this time of the month, others do, it's a individual preference.  Thanks for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.

The body doesn't work that way, sorry. Just wear a tampon--you'll be okay!

You can wear a pad and a tampon at the same time, there is nothing wrong with that.  An alternative is to wear a tampon and a pantiliner, which is smaller than a pad.\n\nSometimes tampons leak, even if you insert them correctly.  So if you don't wear something else with it just make sure to monitor how you are feeling 'down there.'
