Soft-Tampons Instructions

Inserting:

1. Before inserting or removing an Original Soft-Tampon always wash your hands.
2. Pull the special paper from the foil and take out the sterile tampon.
3. To ease insertion we recommend spreading some medical lubricant, e.g. the Original AQUAglide, on the Tampon or moistening it with clean water - then squeeze it out in order to maximise liquid absorbency.
4. The simplest way to insert the tampon is to raise one leg (e.g. using a chair) or to sit with legs apart.
5. Place your index finger on one flat side of the tampon, hold the sides of the tampon between the thumb and middle finger, and press it together. With the other hand open the labia and use your index finger to push the tampon in the vagina until the other flat side of the tampon touches the uterus.

Length of usage:
Change the tampon (as you would any other tampon) at regular intervals. The length of the usage of the tampon should be adapted to the heaviness of your period. During the first two days of the menstruation you may need to change the tampon more frequently (perhaps every 3 to 5 hours). During the last days the time can be extended to between 5 and maximum 7 hours. We recommend changing every 4 to 6 hours. Following sexual intercourse without a condom you should change the Original Soft-tampon immediately .

Removal:
Original Soft-Tampons have no retrieval string because this would
interfere during intercourse.
The Soft-Tampon can be easily removed using the integrated cord, by pulling on the cord with your index or middle finger. If you
should be faced with difficulties, then we recommend that you try
again in the squat position (because the depth of the vagina will
shorten then from 7 or 8 cm to about 4,5 cm). While creating a
light pressure in the lower abdomen, the tampon will go towards
your fingers.
Important: On principle - should you be confronted with the unlikely
situation that you are not able to remove the tampon you have to
consult your gynaecologist. Please remember that when your period
has finished you have to remove the last Original Soft-Tampon!

Caution - FOR ONE TIME USE ONLY!
Never use the Soft-Tampons more than one time, because the optimal effect will only be achieved at single use and moreover the multiple use can cause infections.

Get rid of the tampon in the household waste. The foil in the yellow bag! Special paper and box in the waste paper!
