Tampons are one method of absorbing menstrual flow during your period. Tampons are designed to be inserted into the vagina with or without an applicator. Tampons are meant to be used one time and then thrown away. No tampon should be used more than once.
Tampons are made of cotton, rayon, or a blend of the two. The absorbent fibers used in tampons sold today are made with a bleaching process that is free from elemental chlorine, which also prevents products from having dangerous levels of dioxin (a type of pollutant found in the environment).
