Understanding the Options

Tampons
A traditional choice for many, tampons are compact and designed for discreet menstrual management (minus the string that might peak out at times). Available in a variety of sizes and absorbencies, tampons are a go-to for those comfortable with internal menstrual products. Essential for tampons for swimming, remember to change them regularly to avoid health risks such as Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
