Why it is important to choose the right tampon absorbency?

• In order to reduce the risks of menstrual toxic shock syndrome (mTSS) use tampons with the lowest absorbency necessary to meet your needs and change your tampon regularly every 3-6 hours. You can also alternate between Gentle Day® highly absorbent sanitary pads and tampons at least once a day.
• mTSS can arise when we leave a tampon in for too long. The symptoms that indicate a possible mTSS infection include: sudden, high fever (39ºC/102ºF or higher), dizziness, vomiting, fainting, muscle aches and skin irritations similar to sunburn.
• Not all symptoms may necessarily be present. It can advance rapidly from flu-like symptoms to a serious illness with fatal consequences. If you have one or more of these symptoms, remove the tampon immediately and see your doctor.

What are the absorption capacities?

• Tampon absorbency is noted on the packages by the number of drops. There are 3 levels of absorbency:
• 2 drops (absorbs 6-9 g) Regular: for days with moderate flow (yellow on the packaging)
• 3 drops (absorbs 9-12 g) Super: for days with heavy flow (green on the packaging)
• 4 drops (absorbs 12-15 g) Super Plus: for days with extremely heavy flow (blue on the packaging).
