She is talking about thread?the thread is nothing compared to when one suffers toxic shock syndrome caused by the tampons......I had TSS and it was horrible and that was the last time i ever tried that....OMG anyone still using tampons i fear for them!!
Na una sabi. I would never insert tampon in my VJ. Let's say I have phobia for it.
ReplyDeleteYuck
Me too,i keep thinking of what if the thing gets stuck there
DeleteMe sef. Let me be using and enjoying my pad like that.
DeleteSame here
DeleteTSS only happens when you leave tampons in for too long. Never leave tampons in for longer than 8 hours. The best is to use 4 a day, that is, you change it every 6 hours. If you have poor hygiene, please don't use tampons as it will only worsen the growth of your excess bacteria.
DeleteI use tampons and I am just fine. Not everyone has TSS
ReplyDeleteI'm more comfortable with tampon than pads. One man's meat.....
DeleteWhat is TSS
DeleteTSS is terrible. I once read on dailymail UK about a lady that lost both legs and one arm to gangrene because she was in a coma for a long time from TSS. Tampons users please be very careful.
DeleteJust draw that singlet down, chai! Ukpa supreme!!! *smacks lips*

Not everyone suffers from TSS when they use tampons. I dunno what she means by thread, that thing is tightly woven. I get bruises from pads so it's been tampons for me for a long time now and no issues whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at menstrual cups now, I hear it's the best and very convenient to use.
Same here. I get bruises from pads. Thought I was the only one
DeleteWhere can one buy the menstrual cups biko.... Very much interested
DeleteSame here...am tired of pad...pls which is d best tampon to use
DeleteTampon is so comfy.
DeletePad makes me itchy
Do they sell tampons in Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteIt (tss) is a fast killer. The worst is that
many may not go to hospital when the fever starts.
They will be taking malaria medications till they collapse
and die.
Tufiakwa.
Do u live under a rock?
DeleteOr u think TSS is rampant n regular?
I hate tampons
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it and never will. I'm ok with sanitary towels.
ReplyDeleteI use tampons too but I use it once every 3months & when I have important function to attend during my menstrual period
ReplyDeletesticking with sanitary since 19100.
ReplyDeletei no fit shout.
My friend has been trying to convince me to join team tampons, but no way, i can't try it consciously or unsconsciously, i am happy with pads, dont mind changing it every 3-4hourly.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the whole hullabaloo about tampons. Get the quality sizeable ones from abroad, insert nicely and hygienically and thank me later. Extend the string to outside yourpant and lie it horizontally on your panty liner and matter ces't finis...avoid if you have tss...simples
ReplyDeleteOff to order quality ones from abroad.All the ones here are made from kitchen towels.No quality tampons here at all.Anyway, what do you expect when we are still wearing burlap sacks around our waists?
DeleteThanks anon.
Maybe Stella ordered the tampon that gave her TSS from Nigeria🤔
You get TSS when you have the tampon on for too long not because of the quality of the tampon.
DeleteKamikaze don't mind the shediot.
DeleteQuality ones from Abroad you say? You need to educate yourself! Tampax( lite, Regular, Super and Super Plus sizes)amongst other brands is still by far the most popular and sold almost everywhere in Nigeria( at least I know of Lagos).
DeleteI am using tampons and I'm not swapping them for any other thing. I read up wella on TSS and TSS from tampons is quite rare. The thread of mine has never ever gone inside in the over 4years I've been using it, so I really dunno what u people are talking about.
ReplyDeleteIf u don't know how to fix the tampon, have someone educate u abeg
When once things doesn't favor you, it fight.. Nawa oh woman your own dey your body
DeleteNo you're wrong. I react to pads as well. I feel itchy leaving something on the surface of my vagina. I don't even use panty liners... When I was younger and didn't know about tampons, I had to apply baby powder after bath before using pad to reduce chance of itching and yes I changed my pad more than 4 times a day... Sometimes within 2 hours of wearing the pad the itching would start. I tried different brands and trouble with all except lady care pad but the wings of lady care were not so good so I ended up getting stained most times... In conclusion, some women have genuine reactions to pads.
DeleteAnon 13.57, why are u wasting ur time with someone that has been desperate to get my attention for a while now. Its not worth it abeg. She's not worth it.
DeleteNa u make me reply this post sef
Hard knock for Olivia Silk ✊👊
DeleteContinue givin her Ella dear Eka
Learn what? I have reactions from pad as well. So shut up if u don’t know anything,over sabi .
DeleteU have Toxic Shock Syndrome because u leave the tampon on for too long just because you are comfortable. U should change your tampons 2-3 times a day
ReplyDeletePlease what is tss?
ReplyDeleteTrust me, there's a reason why Google exists.
DeleteToxic shock syndrome is caused by a strain of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. It is an organism that causes other infections too. In some people, under certain conditions, such as tampons being left in too long or a predisposition to infection etc the bacteria releases toxins and causes TSS. I am a microbiologist and can go into more detail but that is the easiest explanation.
DeleteI read some years back how a white ladys leg was cut off cos of tampons, apparently d tampon gave her one kind of sickness that made her so sick, she was in d hospital for long, it was too late, it affected her leg, d leg had to go.during interview, She said there's always awareness of other products eg condoms or contraceptives but no one tells d side effect of tampons,not even d media.
ReplyDeleteStella since then I avoid tampons like a plague.
I read the story too on SDk. Very scary and sad story.The only thing allowed to go into my vagina is a D... I no fit shout abeg
DeleteThe amputation of her leg is caused by TSS.
DeleteI know of a girl that reacts to pads so she uses only tampons.
ReplyDeleteI think tampon is people with very light flow. I don't understand how that tiny tampon can catch all the blood. Jumbo maxi pad for me all the way. My flow is ridiculously heavy.
ReplyDeleteVery funny. There are heavy flow tampons. Google Tampax tampons and educate yourself.
DeleteMy point is ...miss educator!, I would need a really big tampon to catch my extremely heavy flow. I pretty much haemorrhage every month due to endometriosis!
DeleteWhy would I want a HUGE tampon in my vagina when I can simply wear a pad!. Next time mind your business
I only use tampon when am going to the beach and I must wear swimsuit though I don’t enter the water. That thing isn’t for me abeg, I don’t understand how people get comfortable using that.
ReplyDeleteWow Stella you survived TSS? You be real iron lady.
ReplyDeleteTampons are to be used according to your flow there are different types of tampons and organic tampons (google), tampons ought to be changed 2/ 3 times a day depending on your flow... tampons are the best things that ever happened to me... you can lie and sit down however, with tampons I cannot say same for sanitary pads.
ReplyDeleteI have been using Tampons since 1996. No troubles whatsoever. When you leave it in there for too long, that's when you may suffer from Toxic shock.
ReplyDeleteSometimes there are thick blood clot that just falls out on the pad. What happens in tampoons. Were do those clots go
ReplyDeleteMany women will have to use tampons; professional dancers, athletes, models, actresses, personal trainers. Tampons should be changed often to avoid TSS. But every woman has a different lifestyle and career demands will mean there are women who will need to use tampons. I used them for ten years and never had any problems. I am in my 40s now and have never even had a yeast infection in my life. I always changed mine every four hours, sometimes I changed it there was nothing on it because I never was a heavy flow person. The thing with tampons is to change it often.
ReplyDeleteEven with pads, change often.
DeleteIf possible, every hour.
I will never understand why someone will leave a pad for hours on end.
Is it laziness or poor hygiene or what?
This is the reason some women stink to high heaven during their period.
Every hr? Lol. So many pads do you use in a day? 12 to 18? Stop forming joo.
DeleteGoodluck to Tampons Users ooo..
ReplyDeletevirony sanitary pad is the best for ladies that react to always and other pads
ReplyDeleteVirony is too heavy .
DeleteI react to virony
DeleteOkay
ReplyDeleteI don't know about others, but tampons gives me headache.
