Frequently Asked Questions
WHY USE TAMPONS INSTEAD OF PADS?
Pads are fine—until they bunch, chafe, and make you feel like you’re wearing a mattress!
Tampons let you move, dance, swim, and wear what you want without a second thought. It’s your period, and tampons give you the freedom to handle it your way.
HOW DO I USE A TAMPON?
First, relax.
(Seriously, tension is the enemy!)
Then, unwrap and firmly hold the applicator at the curved handle base with your fingertip and thumb. Gently insert the applicator into the vagina angling slightly towards your lower back. Allow your body’s natural shape to guide where it sits. No force necessary! You’ll know when to stop when you feel a natural barrier or your fingertips gripping the handle touches your vulva.
Then, push the plunger into the base, and gently remove the entire plastic applicator, leaving only the string hanging out of your vagina.
If you feel it, it’s too low—adjust, and you’re good to go. You’ll get the hang of it faster than you think. We’re coming up with a cute little video tutorial for you soon!
WHY USE APPLICATORS?
Because you deserve ease and comfort. Our smooth BPA-free applicators make insertion quick, clean, and stress-free — no finger gymnastics required!
WHY IS ORGANIC COTTON IMPORTANT?
- Because your body deserves better. Most tampons are packed with synthetic fibers, bleach, and chemicals you never signed up for. Ours? 100% organic cotton. No toxins, no unnecessary additives—just pure, breathable protection that’s kind to you and the planet.
HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO CHANGE THEM?
Every 4-8 hours. No exceptions. Keeping things fresh and safe is the priority. If you have a heavier flow, check and change more often. It’s about knowing your body and taking care of it.
WILL TAMPONS WORK FOR HEAVY FLOWS?
Absolutely. Each PERIODt Full Pack comes with all three sizes to support with your flow! We’ve got absorbencies for every kind of period, from light spotting to full-on torrential flow. Just choose the right size, change when needed, and go about your day—worry-free.
WHAT ABOUT TSS (TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME)?
Today, cases of TSS caused by tampons are extremely rare.
The main reason it can happen is when tampons are left inside the body for too long. The key to prevention is safe use: Make sure to change your tampon every 4-8 hours, and use the lowest absorbency you need.
DO TAMPONS HURT?
No, not if they’re inserted correctly. If it’s uncomfortable, it’s probably not in far enough. Take a deep breath, adjust, and let your body relax—it should feel like nothing once it’s in place.
CAN MUSLIMS USE TAMPONS?
Yes. There’s nothing in Islam that says tampons aren’t allowed. They don’t affect virginity (which, by the way, is a social concept, not a medical condition), and they don’t make you impure. It’s all about your comfort and what works for you.
I’M A VIRGIN, CAN I USE TAMPONS?
- Of course. Virginity has nothing to do with tampons—let’s just clear that up now. If you’re new to them, start with a lighter absorbency, take your time, and listen to your body. It’s a learning curve, but you’ll get there.
