Can you use water to lubricate a tampon?

No.

Using water as a lubricant for tampons can be unsafe. Water can disrupt the natural pH balance of the vagina, making it more susceptible to infection.

Water-based lubricants can also cause the tampon to become less absorbent, which can lead to leaking and increased risk of infection.

It is important to use only water-based lubricants that are specifically designed for intimate use.
