1. Follow all labeled directions. Even if you have used tampons before, read the instructions in the package.

2. Wash your hands before and after using a Tampon. This will help reduce the spread of bacteria.

3. Only use tampons when you have your period. Tampons are not intended to be used at any other time or for any other reason.

4. Change each tampon every 4 to 8 hours. Never wear a single tampon for more than 8 hours at a time.

5. Use the lowest absorbency tampon needed. If you can wear one tampon up to eight hours without changing it, the absorbency may be too high.

6. Contact your friend/family/doctor if you have pain, fever or other unusual symptoms. If you have discomfort, pain or other unexpected symptoms like unusual discharge when trying to insert or wear a tampon, or if you have an allergic reaction, stop using tampons and contact your provider.

7. Know the signs of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) and how to reduce your risk. Symptoms and signs of TSS may include a sudden fever (usually 102°F or more), vomiting, diarrhea, fainting or feeling like you are going to faint when standing up, dizziness, or a rash that looks like a sunburn. If you have any of these symptoms during your period or soon after your period, stop using tampons and seek medical attention immediately. To reduce your risk of TSS, use the lowest absorbency tampon necessary, wear a tampon for no more than 8 hours and then throw it away, and use tampons only when you have your period.
