A digital tampon is a compact, applicator-free feminine product that absorbs menstrual fluids. It is inserted into the vaginal canal with a finger, leading to less waste and a more discreet way to carry feminine products. Careful use is necessary to prevent complications such as toxic shock syndrome.
A digital tampon is a feminine product designed to absorb menstrual fluids. Unlike a more traditional type of tampon, a digital tampon doesn’t contain an applicator. This type of tampon is inserted into the vaginal canal with a finger, leading to less waste material and allowing for a more discreet way to carry feminine products when out and about. As with other tampons, you should use as little absorbency as possible to reduce your risk of developing complications such as toxic shock syndrome. You must follow the instructions on the package, and any questions about the proper use of a digital swab can be answered by a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional.
Tampons are designed to be inserted into the vaginal canal during menstruation to absorb menstrual flow. The digital swab is more compact than an applicator swab and can be transported more easily without being detected by others. An added benefit of this type of tampon is the fact that there are fewer waste materials, making it a better choice for those concerned with environmental issues.
Inserting a digital tampon is similar to the instructions provided for those with an applicator. The user sits or stands in a comfortable position and gently inserts the tampon into the vaginal canal with one finger, pushing it up and back towards the lower back. When the tampon is in place, the user should gently tug on the string to ensure a proper and comfortable fit. Full instructions are usually provided on the swab packaging and should be followed carefully.
The digital tampon should be changed every few hours, regardless of whether it is saturated with menstrual fluid. This helps prevent complications such as infections or a potentially fatal medical condition known as toxic shock syndrome. Different tampon absorbents are available and the lowest absorbency necessary should be used to prevent the chances of developing these complications.
Toxic shock syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening bacterial infection that can result from tampon use. Symptoms can include low blood pressure, body aches and headaches. A rash resembling a sunburn may appear, and the patient may experience confusion or develop seizures. If left untreated, damage to organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys can develop. Any potential signs of toxic shock syndrome should be reported to a doctor right away for further medical evaluation.
