@thenourishedcycleau: 🚫 If pulling out a tampon feels uncomfortable, listen up. A tampon should slide out with minimal resistance. If it feels dry, uncomfortable, or even painful to remove, it's usually because it hasn't absorbed enough blood yet. This can happen when: • Your flow is lighter than expected • You've inserted a tampon "just in case" • You're at the beginning or end of your period • The absorbency is too high for your flow Forcing out a dry tampon can cause tiny amounts of friction and irritation to the vaginal tissue, leaving you feeling sore afterwards. The fix? Match the tampon absorbency to your flow, change it only when needed, or consider a pad, period undies, or menstrual cup on lighter days. Your period products should work with your body, not against it. 👇 Have you ever pulled out a dry tampon and immediately regretted your decision? #womenshealth #periodpain #endometriosis #perimenopause #pregnant
