Tampon: What It Is, How It Works, and Why Quality Matters

A tampon is a small but powerful product that offers women a convenient and discreet way to manage their menstrual flow. Unlike sanitary pads, tampons are worn internally and offer protection without being visible — making them a popular choice for active lifestyles.

At NiceDay, we specialize in the manufacturing of high-quality tampons and feminine hygiene products. In this article, we’ll break down what tampons are, how they’re used, and what to look for in a tampon brand.

What Is a Tampon?

A tampon is a cylindrical, absorbent product made to be inserted into the vagina during menstruation. Its purpose is to absorb menstrual blood before it leaves the body, providing effective protection without the bulk of an external pad.

Tampons are typically made from cotton, rayon, or a blend of both. They may come with or without an applicator to assist with insertion.

How Does a Tampon Work?

When inserted correctly, a tampon sits comfortably inside the vaginal canal and expands as it absorbs fluid. It stays in place due to the body’s natural shape and is removed by gently pulling the attached string.

Tampons are available in various absorbency levels:

  • Light

  • Regular

  • Super

  • Super Plus

This allows users to choose the right tampon depending on their menstrual flow.

Benefits of Using Tampons

Tampons are a preferred choice for many women due to their:

  • Discreet protection – no visible lines under clothing

  • Freedom of movement – great for sports and swimming

  • Comfort – can be worn without feeling bulky

  • Convenience – individually wrapped for on-the-go use

At NiceDay, we manufacture tampons that combine safety, comfort, and performance for reliable menstrual care.

Tampons vs. Pads: Which Is Better?

Both tampons and pads have their place in feminine care. The right product depends on the user’s lifestyle, flow level, and comfort preference.
