What’s your period like? Do you have easy period days that last less than 5 days? Or do you often wake up to sheets that resemble a crime scene? Either way, when it comes to periods, pads are the first choice that comes to our minds. However, there are so many other sanitary products that most of us have never even considered. Tampons are one of them.
Many of us are still unaware of tampons and how they’re used. Today, we are going to discuss tampons, a feminine hygiene product used during menstruation. Tampons are cylindrical and small in size. Unlike sanitary pads, tampons don’t need to be stuck to the underwear. They need to be inserted into the vagina through a little string at the end so you can pull it out when you think you need to change it or it got filled. 2 types of tampons are brought by Sofy first one is Soft Regular Tampons and Soft Tampons Super. You can choose according to your menstrual flow and need.
Tampons, much like pads, come in different sizes. You can choose the size or level of absorbency based on your flow. The best part? Tampons allow flexibility and freedom of movement, even during heavy flow days. Tampons also reduce the risk of smell, skin irritation, and inflammation.
Here are reasons why you should consider using tampons.
1. Convenience
Tampons are considered to be extremely convenient to use. They are tiny, cylindrical, and can easily be carried in a purse or pocket. SOFY tampons come with a compact applicator which makes them easier to insert than other tampons. Tampons are the perfect sanitary product for women and girls who are always on the go.
2. Flexibility
As we know, every woman has a different period flow. The women of today, in particular, stay physically active as well. Tampons allow flexibility of movement, no matter the flow. SOFY tampons also keep you fresh and worry-free throughout a busy day. The best part? You can go swimming all you want when you use tampons.
3. Invisibility
Sanitary pads can be bulky or visible through tight clothing like skinny jeans or gym wear. With women who wear tampons, this is not a concern at all. When inserted properly, tampons cannot be felt or seen through clothing.
4. Comfort
When you wear pads, it sometimes shifts or gets bundled up but tampons don’t which makes the experience so much more comfortable.
We hope you have a better idea about your preference. Whatever you choose, it is important to ensure that you use the products carefully, correctly, and with proper hygiene. Don’t forget to wash your hands after and before insertion and removal and change tampons every 6-8 hours to avoid infections.
FAQ’s
2. How do tampons offer flexibility during active or busy days?
Tampons adapt to various activity levels by providing flexible protection. Unlike pads, they move with your body, eliminating worries during exercise, travel, or even swimming. No matter how you’re spending your period time, tampons keep you feeling fresh and protected.
3. Are tampons invisible when worn under clothing?
Yes, tampons are completely hidden once properly inserted, unlike pads that may show under tight outfits. This makes them a favored period product for wearing fitted clothing like skinny jeans or workout gear, allowing individuals to feel confident and discreet.
4. Why are tampons more comfortable than pads?
Tampons stay securely in place and won’t bunch up or shift like some pads. This reduces irritation and enhances comfort, particularly when you're active. Because they do not move around under clothing, the experience is generally smoother and more enjoyable.
5. Should I worry about hygiene when using tampons?
Yes, hygiene is important. Always wash your hands before and after tampon insertion or removal. Change tampons every 6–8 hours to maintain cleanliness and avoid infections. Following these habits helps support safe usage during period time.
6. Can tampons help reduce odor and skin irritation?
Yes. Since tampons absorb menstrual fluid internally, they reduce surface moisture and exposure. This helps minimize odor and skin irritation compared to external pads, especially during long hours or for those with sensitive skin.
7. How do I choose between tampon absorbency levels?
Tampons come in different sizes like regular and super to match flow levels. Choosing the right absorbency helps with comfort and prevents leaks. It’s best to start with a lower absorbency and adapt as needed throughout your period time.
8. Can tampons be used while swimming?
Absolutely! One of the key benefits of tampons is that they allow you to swim during your period. Since they absorb flow internally, they remain effective and discreet in water, offering freedom and comfort during aquatic activities.
9. Are there different types of tampons available for various users?
Yes, choices include regular and super absorbency, suited to different flows. Sofy offers both Soft Regular Tampons and Soft Super Tampons so users can select based on their individual needs during period time.
10. Why might someone prefer tampons over pads?
Tampons are compact, invisible under clothing, and offer flexibility for daily activities like sports or swimming. They also stay in place better than pads, reducing the need for adjustment and enhancing comfort during busy or active period time.
