Many of us hesitate to try new things especially, when it’s sanitary pads in question. The shift from a sanitary pad to tampons is slowly gaining pace in India. Women are trying (and believe us) loving the freedom.
Using a tampon for the first time can be scary! But with time you realize the advantages. There is no smell, no flow (since it absorbs all the blood inside, you don’t feel the icky-ness!) it decreases pain. Tampons are made of cotton just like sanitary pads. But this cotton is compressed together in the shape of a slim tube. Unlike pads, tampons have to be inserted into your vagina during heavy or moderate flow days. No it doesn’t break the hymen! And no it doesn’t feel uncomfortable or painful.
Tampons are marketed in India by Johnson & johnson by the brand name O.B. in India. Follow the package instructions properly and it makes your ‘that time of the month’ insignificant! The best thing since, it absorbs all the blood from inside, it reduces the bleeding by a day!
