For example, the tampon can be inserted in a standing position (possibly with one leg raised) or in a squatting position.

3. open the labia with the other hand and push the tampon into the vagina up to the cervix.

Note: If your hymen is intact, please use the soft tampon with caution.

How do you remove soft tampons?

The soft tampon does not have a return strap, but can be easily removed using the integrated tab.

If it is difficult to remove, we recommend squatting or lifting one leg.
If the soft tampon cannot be removed, please consult your gynecologist immediately.

Yes.
The material of the tampon is very soft and flexible.
This means that the tampon is barely noticeable.
The tampon should be removed or replaced after intercourse.

Can you go swimming with a soft tampon?

Yes.
The soft tampon is even very practical for swimming, as it doesn’t have an annoying ribbon.

How deep should the soft tampon be inserted?

The soft tampon is inserted up to the cervix like a conventional tampon.

Can I wear the soft tampons for longer than 8 hours?

Good menstrual hygiene is essential to minimize the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
We therefore recommend a maximum wearing time of 8 hours.
Correct cleaning (only for reusable menstrual products) and hygienic use (e.g. washing hands) are also particularly important.

What is TSS and is the risk higher with menstrual cups or tampons?

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an infectious disease caused by bacteria in a wound or in the mucous membrane.
There are no clear findings from studies or expert opinions on whether the risk of contracting TSS is higher/lower with tampons or menstrual cups.
The issue of maximum wearing time is also controversial.
Basically, good menstrual hygiene is essential, regardless of which hygiene product is used during menstruation.
As menstrual cups are reused, correct cleaning and hygienic use (e.g. washing hands) is particularly important.
To keep the risk of infection as low as possible, we recommend a maximum wearing time of 8 hours and to clean the menstrual cup before and after sleeping.

The ELANEE soft tampon is made of 100% polyurethane foam.

Used soft tampons should be disposed of in a hygienic bag or cloth in the household waste to avoid the risk of infection.
