when using a tampon, the string turns bloody after a short period of time, what does this mean?
Question:
Answers:
Yes it means time to change it and it could also mean that you are at the point during your period that it is the heaviest in flow. If your period is heavy from start to finish, then wear a tampon that is made for a "heavy" flow. It could also mean that you are not inserting it properly. The directions on the package tell you once it is inserted to give a slight tug, this brings the tampon forward in the vaginal canal to cause a seal. Unless, you don't mind the embarrassment while swimming, then don't go into the water until you have either..
1. Changed your tampon to a new one, clean and fresh.
2. Your flow is lighter.
3. You have finished your period.
Hope this helps.

U need a heavy tampon..duh..Or a pad.Ur period is too heavy!!
Yup. Time to change the tampon. It's become so saturated with blood that the string got bloody. Make sure you remove the entire tampon and that nothing remains in your vagina.
Using a larger, more absorbent tampon means that you're putting more material into your vagina. As long as you're careful to look over your tampon before you throw it away, and make sure nothing is left inside you, you should be alright.
It could mean it is time to change the tampon.. But not neccessarily. Sometimes secretions are too thick for a tampon and leak around it. If you are worried about a bloody trail in the water with a tampon in, that is unlikely. I have very heavy periods and I swim often. Never had a problem. It means you need to get a higher degree of tampon absorption.and yes, if the string is red you need to change your tampon.
If you go swimming you will not bleed in the water, actually being fully submerged in water(your lower half) "stops" your flow during the duration of your swim or if you're in the tub. Now if you're taking a shower, you will bleed in there because you're not fully submerged in the water.
Get some knowledge about your body and how it works.if you're old enough to be having periods, you're old enough to know how your period, and your body, works.
Your periods must be too heavy for the tampon. Buy the next size up. I usually wear one for at least 4 hours before I have to change it and it never gets to the stage where the string has gone bloody. yes you should use heavier and the string may just be the way it is connected
