Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 8:21 pm
I feel really weird asking this lol but I need help. See I never know exactly when I'm going to get my period, but I briefly know around which time it comes. I was wondering, if it was okay to put a tampon in when you think it's coming soon, but you don't have your period. I dont want to get that toxic shock syndrome or anything like that, so if anyone could help me out that would be great =]
That link says so. It also gives information about tampon use in general. It's a government site, so you can be pretty confident that it's correct. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]

That's what I would do =] [ snickerzz11's advice column | Ask snickerzz11 A Question ]
