How do I know if I'm using a tampon that is too heavy for my flow?
I've just started using tampons for my period and I've noticed they don't come in a wide array of sizes really (light, regular, super, super plus from what I've seen). I picked up the super absorbencies since my period flow is really heavy but it feels pretty uncomfortable when I insert it. I thought maybe after the tampon soaked up some that it would be more comfortable and "normal" feeling but it still feels the same.
I read that you could get TSS from using a tampon that was too heavy for your flow and I really don't want to risk that. How do I know if my tampon is too big?

Always start with regular size. You'll know what you need by how full it is when you take it out, and how often you have to change it. I use different sizes throughout my period. I start off with regular, when my flow is the heaviest. After a day or 2 I'll switch to light, when my flow is lighter. If you've had the tampon in for a few hours and it is still relatively dry and hard to remove, you know its too big and you need to switch to a smaller size. Hope that helps.

you use the smallest size that works. most people just use regular so try that and after the time if ur fine then thats ur size haha if you need bigger then try the next size up. but it all depends on comfort and if it works, but use the smallest size that works never start with the biggest size
