Tampons are internal menstrual products designed to absorb menstrual flow during a period, offering discreet, reliable protection and freedom of movement.

What are Tampons?
Tampons are cylindrical absorbent products inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual blood before it leaves the body. They are commonly made from cotton, rayon, or blends of both, and expand gently to fit the body once in place. Tampons are designed for single use and should be changed regularly to maintain hygiene and comfort.
