About "Tampons"
A tampon is a plug of cotton or other absorbent material inserted into a body cavity or wound to absorb bodily fluid.
The most common type in daily use is a usually disposable plug that is designed to be inserted into the vagina during menstruation to absorb the flow of blood.
Tampons are a menstrual device worn completely inside the vaginal canal with the exception of the string. This makes them suitable for wear during activities such as swimming.
Menstrual blood is not exposed to the air with the use of tampons, so there is limited odor.
There is no way to see that a woman is using a tampon when she is clothed, unlike sanitary napkins, which have outlines that can sometimes be seen through fabric.
As a disposable product, there is no need to wash anything in between use.
