Want the same allover protection from a sport tampon but with a gentler formulation? This tampon is for you. But there’s a reason why you’re thinking about joining Squad Tampon in the first place, and it probably has a lot to do with convenience. “Tampons are a great option because they don't interfere with your outfits and they makes it easy to go swimming on your period,” says Christine Greves, MD, a board-certified ob-gyn at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies in Orlando, Florida. They’re also compact enough to slip into your purse and carry around all day.

Whether you've had a heavy flow for years or are totally new to periods, we broke down all your tampon options and important considerations:Not sure if tampons are the right menstrual product for you? You might not want to go for a pad or panty liner, because this method could take on a lot of water and leak.

Hold the applicator at the finger grip (in the middle of the applicator) using your thumb and middle finger. There’s also this to consider, per Dr. Wider: “Some people who use tampons without applicators complain that they can feel the tampon, or it won't go in all the way.” A. Yes. One of the benefits of tampons is that you can swim in them (as opposed to pads). Because sport tampons are designed to stay in place while moving, you can go about your laps without worrying that your tampon will fall out in the water. Is it safe to work out on my period? Find a position you feel comfortable in––it varies for each person, but a tampon can be inserted while squatting, sitting or putting one leg up on the toilet seat.It’s natural to have questions about swimming on your period, especially if you’re used to wearing pads throughout your cycle. Here are a few things to keep in mind while you’re choosing and wearing your tampon. Is a higher absorbency better? Your tampon should come out easily if it’s full. All you need to do is gently tug on the tampon’s string.

Push the tampon inside the vagina, using an applicator or your own finger if your tampon doesn’t have an applicator. A smooth and rounded applicator will make insertion easier for most people. Customized Fit: With different absorbency levels available, you can choose the tampon that best suits your flow and exercise routine. This customization ensures that you feel confident and comfortable during each phase of your menstrual cycle. However, if you have a lighter flow, go for a lower absorbency tampon (aka light or lite). If your tampon is high absorbency and you have a lighter flow, you may experience discomfort during removal. Is it going to soak up water?Make sure to change your tampon every four to eight hours, depending on your flow and comfort. Do not leave a tampon in for longer than eight hours. You can wear a tampon overnight, but insert right before going to sleep and remove it as soon as you wake up. When it comes to period protection, Playtex Sport Tampons in both Super and Regular sizes have been my go-to choice for years. These tampons offer reliable performance and a range of absorbencies to suit every day of my period. Plastic applicators are usually more soft and allow you to have slightly more control over where the tampon goes,” Dr. Greves says. Cardboard applicators and no-applicator tampons are better for the environment, but Dr. Greves says they’re "usually a little more difficult to use," especially for beginners. “A slim, small plastic applicator is usually what I recommend for a beginner,” she says.
