Directions
How to use:
1. Wash your hands first. Take off the tampon’s plastic wrap and throw it away, but don’t flush it.
2.
Check the applicator to make sure the string is firmly attached by
giving it a little tug. Push gently on the plunger and make sure the
tampon is positioned snugly against the applicator petals.
3. To put in the tampon, find a comfortable position either sitting (with your knees apart) or standing with one foot elevated.
4. Put the applicator tip into the opening of your vagina and gently glide it toward your lower back.
5.
Keep easing the applicator in until you’ve inserted as far as the ring
of the outer insertion tube. Continue holding the applicator, and then
push the inner tube into the outer tube.
6.
When the rings of the applicator are together, the tampon is in
correctly. Gently remove both tubes, making sure the string is outside
of your body. Do not flush!
7.
To remove the tampon, relax and pull on the string at the same angle as
the tampon was inserted. Change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours,
including overnight. Remove each tampon before putting in a new one.
Remember to remove the last tampon at the end of your period.
8. If you have trouble getting the tampon out, see your doctor or clinic for help.
Warnings
Attention: Tampons are associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but serious disease that may cause death.
Sudden
fever (usually 102°F or more), vomiting, diarrhea, fainting or near
fainting when standing up, dizziness, or a rash that looks like sunburn
can all be warning signs of a rare but serious illness, toxic shock
syndrome (TSS). This illness can cause death. Should these symptoms
occur, discontinue use and consult a physician immediately. You should
also consult a physician before using tampons if you have had TSS
warning signs in the past.
Women
using tampons during their menstrual period are susceptible to the risk
of contracting TSS. The reported risk of TSS is higher among teenage
girls and women under 30 years of age, but it can occur at any age. The
incidence of TSS is estimated to be 1 to 17 per 100,000 menstruating
women and girls per year.
Studies
indicate that higher absorbency tampons increase the risk of
contracting TSS; therefore, we suggest you use tampons with the minimum
absorbency needed to control menstrual flow in order to reduce the risk
of contracting TSS. The chart on this package indicates the appropriate
product for your different needs.
You
may avoid the risk of getting tampon-associated TSS by not using
tampons, and reduce the risk by alternating tampon use with the use of
pads or pantiliners during your menstrual period. Please consult a
physician if you have any further questions.
Important: Dispose in a trash receptacle. Do not flush tampon, applicator, or wrapper.
