Tampon Re-Use: Safety & Hygiene – What You Need to Know

It is recommended that you do not reuse tampons. Tampons are designed for single-use only and should be disposed of properly after use. There is a risk of infection, bacteria, and toxic shock syndrome if a used tampon is reinserted. Additionally, the absorbency of a used tampon may be compromised, leading to potential leaks and insufficient protection. For safety and health reasons, it is important to use a new tampon for each period.
