The most important step is to relax and follow the instructions on the leaflet provided in the package. If you need step by step instructions Click Here!

We recommend changing tampons at least once every eight hours. Tampons are effective for use during the day or for overnight protection.

TSS or Toxic Shock Syndrome is a rare but serious disease that has been associated with the use of tampons. TSS is believed to be caused by toxins produced by a strain of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus that is often present in men, women and children. In rare instances the toxin produced by some of the bacteria is not destroyed by the antibodies in our bloodstream and TSS can occur.

TSS must be diagnosed by your doctor but it does have symptoms you can recognize!

• Sudden Fever (102 F or more) and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Fainting or near fainting when standing up
• Dizziness
• A rash that looks like a sunburn

If you notice any of the symptoms of toxic shock you should immediately remove your tampon and contact your physician. Make sure to explain to your physician the symptoms you are experiencing if you suspect TSS.

TSS is generally treatable with antibiotics. It is important to be aware of the symptoms and contact your doctor as soon as you notice a problem.
