TSS: The Real Deal

 

 

That disease is TSS, or Toxic Shock Syndrome. TSS is a very rare bacterial disease, and it can be fatal. But you don’t need to be afraid of using tampons because of TSS. The disease is associated with tampon absorbency, and it’s more likely to affect users of super-absorbency tampons who don’t change them often enough.


To be on the safe side, change your tampon every six to eight hours, and use the least absorbency possible without risk of ruining your white capris. If you experience symptoms such as a high temperature, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and a rash, remove the tampon and contact your doctor immediately.

Dont wear panty liners in your swimsuit cuz they might not work as well with all the water that is being absorbed anyway. I would use a light absorbancy tampon.

hey mod, so i just read someone's comment about swimming and tampons, so is it ok to wear pantyliners in the pool if your period isn't heavy? cuz mine is usually heavy the first 2-3 days but after that it becomes light. so can i use pantyliners in the pool then?




Hey girl,

I wouldn't use pantyliners in the pool - they are still made to absorb liquid, so they won't really do much to absorb your period when they're full of pool water! If your period is light, just use a light tampon and you'll be good.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD Ok so im starting middle school in like a month and a half and we're going to have to take swimming lessons....the only prob is that i dont wear tampons.I dont want to either.So what am i supposed to do when i got my little "friends" monthly vist and have to swim in school?????? help!!!!!!

 

Hey! Wear panty liners in your swimsuit. They're not noticable so you don't have to worry about that. Also just so you know when you're in water your flow usually slows or stops. It's better to be safe than sorry though.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
 
 
What go-to saying would you love to wear out loud?
