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.

Hey girl,
If you have TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome), it can make you feel really sick - fever, vomiting, and rash are common symptoms.

I've heard that your period stops when you get waist deep in water. Do you really need to wear anything while swimming when you are on your period as long as you are waist deep?




Hey Girl! As long as your period isn't super heavy, you should be fine swimming without anything in. xo Lizzie

ok so I'm going to go for swimming lessons and my Mom has NEVER used a tampon in her life.I guess that okay,I mean it's her choice but what if I get my period during swimming? I will have to wear a tampon!I will have to use 1 one day! HELP




Hey girl,

Just because your mom hasn't worn a tampon doesn't mean you can't! Tampons are really the only thing you can wear when swimming or in the water, so it's best to learn how to use them. Even though she doesn't use them, she may be able to teach you, or ask an aunt, friend, or another woman you are close to that can tell you how to use them.

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?
