Young girls and teens generally find tampons with applicators easier to use when they begin their period. Tampons can also come without applicators and are inserted using the index finger. Once inserted, a cord extends out of the body for easy removal. Tampons have an “outer” barrel – what holds the tampon – and an “inner,” thin tube used to push the tampon into the vagina. The tampon itself – absorbent material – sits inside the plastic or cardboard applicator at the tip near the open end. It’s important to note, tampons should only be used for blood and not vaginal discharge. Much like sanitary pads, they are a blend of rayon and cotton that collect any blood and fluid flowing out of the vagina. Tampons are used for menstrual flows to absorb the blood during the days of a period.
