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
degrees 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.
