Besides the fact that the (soft) tampon has been developed to collect menstrual blood, it is also useful for other things.
Activities with a tampon
The well-known tampon with the string can sometimes cause discomfort during activities such as sports, swimming and going to the sauna. For example, when exercising, a woman feels her tampon sitting or it shifts due to the movements that are made during exercise. When swimming or sitting in the sauna, many women are ashamed of the visible string. With a soft tampon you can do all those things without being bothered by your tampon. Because there is no string and the soft tampon adapts to the female body , this model can be experienced as very pleasant during activities.
Sex is possible with a tampon
Making love with an original tampon is difficult and can feel very unpleasant for both men and women. This is because the tampon has a solid and, when just inserted, hard structure. The soft structure of the soft tampon makes intercourse possible and comfortable for many . The tampon should be inserted as far into the vagina as possible to facilitate penetration. For the man, it may feel as if his penis is touching the cervix when in reality he is feeling the tampon. Touching the cervix sometimes happens in certain positions.
The pros and cons of tampons
The advantage is that soft tampons feel comfortable and always fit well. The material is flexible and therefore fits every vagina . Moreover, you can do many activities without others or yourself noticing that you are wearing a tampon. The disadvantage of this soft tampon is that, unlike a normal tampon, it is sometimes difficult to put in and take off. When there is a dry vagina, you may feel some resistance when putting it in, which some women find uncomfortable. Also, taking off the tampon is not easy for everyone. The tampon can sit quite deep and end up next to the cervix. For example, through penetration during sex. The penis may then have pushed the tampon further away. That is why removing the tampon sometimes takes some practice . After doing it in and out several times, you will see that it is easier.
A tampon is not a contraceptive
Some women would like to believe that the soft tampon also works as a contraceptive. However, this is not the case. Although it stops menstrual blood, it does not prevent pregnancies and STDs. When you have sex with a tampon in, always make sure your partner wears one condom.
