Is Toxic Shock Syndrome Sneaking Up on You? The Shocking Signs You Can’t Ignore (And How to Stay Safe)
2. Change tampons frequently
Remembering to change your tampons regularly is key to preventing menstrual TSS. Tampons should be changed every 4-8 hours. And if you can’t remember whether you put one in or not, check! While a tampon can get pushed far up your vaginal canal, you can’t lose it. Just make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before trying to retrieve it.
3. Use other menstrual products
Tampons are one of the most common menstrual products, but you should consider using other options when you get your period like pads, menstrual cups and period underwear. The best product for your period can change from morning to night and may depend on factors like comfort, your level of activity, your flow and the time of day. Again, if you’re having trouble figuring out which to try, your women’s health specialist can help you weigh the pros and cons.
