HOW TO USE and INSERT A TAMPON?! | Ladouce Tampons Review Philipines

Probably some of the most awkward and cringey topics a blogger could ever talk about are menstruation and circumcision. But come to think of it, those things are just about normal because everyone of us has gone through and may still be experiencing it. Unlike circumcision though, women have to deal with menstruation almost every month that's why it's important to have enough knowledge and to use the right product that would make the "visit" more comfortable and less eerie. 



You could say I have tried almost every way there is from old-school pasador to the modern sanitary napkins. However, the word tampons was non-existent in my vocabulary until my cousins from the US introduced me to the concept. They said it's convenient because it minimizes chances of having stain plus it's convenient because it allows you to still move around and be able to enjoy the things you love without worrying about leak and stain.  


Let me introduce you to the FIRST EVER tampon brand I've ever tried -
LADOUCE TAMPONS.

Ladouce Tampons are made of body-friendly, high-absorbent natural materials. The cylindrical form follows perfectly your personal body shapes. They are made of highly absorbent natural soft silk viscose, non-chlorine bleached and 100% biodegradable.

HOW TO USE TAMPONS

1.) Wash your hands
2.) Slightly bend the Ladouce Tampon to break the protective foil at the arrow line
3.) Unwrap the bottom-half of the covering foil
4.) Unwind the cotton withdrawal string, while holding the string and the tampon, straighten the cotton string.
5.) Hold your tampon at the bottom and remove the remaining half of the foil
6.) Widen the base of the tampon and create a pocket for your finger for an easy insertion

My HONEST OPINION :

On my first-time inserting a tampon, I did feel uneasy. It was a bit painful, especially because I used the bigger size tampon. I switched to inserting the mini size Ladouce Tampon and found it was easier to put in. Another thing that I loved was that I was able to move on and wear light-colored bottom without the leak and stain. And the best part? Now that it's summer, beach getaways and swimming-weekends are countless I love that I am able to still wear bikini and actually dive in the water without feeling gross that my pad would get wet and leak. It was actually safe and comfortable to swim while wearing the Ladouce Tampon!



SAFETY REMINDER

Just like the regular sanitary napkin, changing of tampon regularly is also a must! It is also advised that one should replace and insert a new tampon after urinating to keep one's hygiene intact. Some of my readers have mentioned about Toxic Shock. Toxic shock is a rare complication that may result when improper and unhygienic use of tampons and other materials is practiced. What causes it is the bacteria, when someone it not used properly. However, upon thorough research, tampon manufacturers have now pulled certain tampons off the market and since then, toxic shock syndrome has declined. Since Ladouce Tampons is still in the market, it is safe to say the brand is safe and toxic-free. However, I highly suggest that if you want to use tampon, be sure your hands are clean before and after insertion. It is also important to remember to change the tampon frequently, at least every four hours, especially after every visit to the bathroom.



All in all, it's comforting to know we now have an option. Gone were the days when we just have to dwell and get used to menstrual leak and stain. We can now say goodbye to those moments we had to sit and be left-out by family and friends when they went swimming because we were on our period. We can now be confident and worry-free, even on our period!
