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 (and the topic of the remainder of this article)
is a usually disposable plug that is designed to
be inserted into the vagina during menstruation
to absorb the flow of blood. The use of these devices
has occasionally caused infection and (rarely) death
(see Toxic shock syndrome). In the United States,
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates
tampons as medical devices.
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... |
