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.

MODMODMOD!!! So like some of my friends use tampons instead of pads. I've never tried a tampon and I don't think I ever want to. They sound to uncomfortable and hard to use. Is it bad if I only use pads? Please help!! -Anonymous

 

Hey girl, its not bad at all. You can use whatever you want, its entirely a personal decesion. Don't be afraid to give tampons a try though. They really aren't that bad when you get a hang of them, and are really handy for situations like swimming and sports.

MOD MOD MOD MOD! I have 3 things. 1) what's happens to a tampon if I poop? What happens to the string? 2) Im thinking of getting tampons buy where in my vigina am I gonna put it on? 3)My dad says nail polish make my nails turn dark and I searched on the Internet and they say it dosent and I told my dad and he still dosent bielive me! What should I do?

 

Hey girly, if you have to use the bathroom, take the old tampn out and insert a new one. When you put it on, you'll feel where it's supposed to go. Nail polish doesn't make your nails dark at all. Try buying green.organic nail polish. That kind of polish actually strengthens nails. Smile

mod!! ok i dont get y leaving a tamp in for to long can affect u like how does it give u tts???

 

Hey girl! It's called TSS and you can talk to your doc more about the specifics. It's usually not too much of a risk, but definetely something to be cautious of.
