Applicator tampons generally expand axially (increase in length), while non-applicator or digital tampons will expand radially (increase in diameter). About 20% of women naturally have a retroverted uterus (the uterus tilts backwards towards the spine instead of forwards) and using an inflexible applicator can cause pain during insertion. Non-applicator tampon, gently eased into the correct position using the longer index finger, makes inserting the tampon more comfortable.

Most tampons have a cord or string for removal. The majority of tampons sold are made of rayon, or a blend of rayon and cotton. Organic cotton tampons are made from only 100% cotton.

Tampons are available in several absorbency ratings, which are consistent across manufacturers in the U.S.:

• Junior/Light absorbency: 6 g and under
• Regular absorbency: 6 to 9 g
• Super absorbency: 9 to 12 g
• Super Plus absorbency 12 to 15 g
• Ultra absorbency 15–18 g

It’s important to change your tampons regularly, every 4-6 hours, and alternate between using tampons and pads. It is not recommended that you wear a tampon when you are sleeping because you will most likely be leaving it in too long.
