1. Can you have sex with tampons?
Whether organic tampons or not – the answer is basically: “YES AND NO” .
During sex, it can happen that the tampon is pushed very deep into the vaginal cavity . If it gets stuck really deep there, it can be quite tricky to get it out again.
In addition, the tampon can cause pain during sex if it pulls and presses - it's better to take it out than in. Even if removing the tampon interrupts your sexy foreplay, it is the more advisable option.
2. Sex with soft tampons
But there is still a little joker and that is the soft tampons .
Disguised as a small heart-shaped sponge, they are intended to make sex during your period a little more pleasant .
However, the soft tampons require a bit of practice when inserting and removing them, as they do not have a pull-back string . Instead, there is a small hole on the side that serves as a grip tab. So removing them can also become a bit of a scavenger hunt.
But for those who cannot or do not want to do without sex with tampons, these little sponges can be a good alternative .
3. Tampon disappeared after sex
Sometimes the excitement for sex just gets the better of you and a quickie during your period can quickly turn into an oops. That is, when you completely forget that you are wearing a tampon. Should you wait until it falls out again or do you need to go to the doctor as soon as possible?
The idea of a tampon floating around somewhere deep inside us can be quite frightening. But don't panic - just breathe in and out deeply and relax.
But just waiting and drinking tea is not an option here. You can try to get hold of the removal string by feeling your vagina . If that doesn't work, you should seriously consider going to the doctor. A tampon should not be left in your body for several days .
This can lead to health problems such as infections.
Can you have sex with a tampon?
It is not recommended to use a tampon during sexual intercourse. Tampons are designed to absorb menstrual blood and should be removed before sexual intercourse. There are specially developed products such as soft tampons that can be used as an alternative to the traditional tampon during sexual intercourse. These products are usually more flexible and softer than traditional tampons and cause less disruption during sexual intercourse.
Can the tampon get lost inside me?
No, a tampon cannot get "lost" inside you. The cervix forms a barrier that prevents a tampon from migrating into the uterus. The vaginal canal is only about 8-10 cm deep, and the cervix is at the end of the canal. A tampon can only be inserted as far into the vagina as the vaginal canal will allow.
What should I do if I can't get the tampon out after sex?
If nothing helps, go to the gynecologist quickly! Things like this can happen and there is no reason to be ashamed. Get help.
