FAQs
What absorbency level is Super Plus?
Super Plus tampons are designed for heavy flow days, typically absorbing 9-12 grams of fluid.
How often should I change my Tampax Pearl tampon?
You should change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours. Never leave a tampon in for longer than 8 hours to prevent the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
Can I wear a tampon while sleeping?
Yes, you can wear a tampon while sleeping, provided you use one with the appropriate absorbency for your overnight flow and change it within the 8-hour window.
Is the applicator reusable?
No, the Tampax Pearl applicator is designed for single use and should be disposed of after use.
What is the LeakGuard Braid?
The LeakGuard Braid is a feature designed to help stop leaks by expanding and channeling fluid back into the tampon core.
How do I dispose of a used tampon?
Do not flush used tampons or applicators down the toilet. Wrap the used tampon and applicator and dispose of it in a sanitary bin or trash can.
Can I use Tampax Pearl tampons if I have a sensitive period?
Tampax Pearl tampons are designed for comfort. However, if you experience irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Always choose the lowest absorbency that fits your needs.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting applicator
Ensure you are relaxed. Try a different insertion angle, slightly angled towards your lower back. Using a lubricant (water-based) on the applicator tip can sometimes help if dryness is an issue.
Tampon feels uncomfortable or noticeable
The tampon may not be inserted correctly or might be the wrong absorbency. Ensure the applicator plunger has been fully pushed. If it persists, remove the tampon and try again with a new one, ensuring it is inserted fully and at the correct angle.
Leaking
This could be due to the tampon being too full or not positioned correctly. Try changing the tampon more frequently or consider a different absorbency level if your flow is exceptionally heavy. Ensure the LeakGuard Braid is hanging outside the body.
