Tampons should never be used when spotting or even with light flow.
Tampons don't just absorb blood they also absorb vaginal moisture needed to protect the vaginal tissues, by absorbing that moisture tampons cause the vaginal tissues to become dry and ulcerated. Using tampons when not menstruating or using too high an absorbency for your flow means more damage - damage to vaginal tissues is not just uncomfortable but increases risk of Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) by giving bacterial toxins direct access to the bloodstream.
If you're spotting you can use pantiliners, sanitary pads, menstrual cups, or softcups.

Can a woman be spotting if her tampon has something on it every time she changes it?
Yes, spotting is light bleeding and it will show on a tampon. If the tampon isn't saturated in blood after 4-6 hours then you should be using lowest absorbency or if already using lowest absorbency you need to switch to pads as your flow is too light to be using tampons.
I just had my period this month and now im spotting a week later could I be pregnant?
You could. But the period you had and the spotting you are now experiencing would point more to a miscarriage. If you had a period, you are no longer pregnant if you were. The stuff that comes out during your period would need to stay in there for the baby! Check to make sure you got your tampon out. Believe it or not, this happens to alot of women.
What if you use a tampom while you are pregnant?
WHAT?! There's no need!! Tampons are for when you have your period ONLY! What on Earth would you need a tampon for if your pregnant?!
Is ther a video of an actual person putting in a tampon?
I'm sure that there are videos of an actual woman inserting a tampon, but this would be a very specific type of pornography so not easy to find. If you need to see how to insert a tampon then there are many videos on YouTube explaining how to do this and using fake vagina's to show you how. Tampon use is not so complicated that you need a video to know how to do it.
What if your having a baby and your tampon is in?
A woman does not get her period while she's pregnant, therefore, she does not need a tampon.
Can a tampon get stuck in your stomach?
No, a tampon cannot get into your uterus as the opening to the cervix (the bottom of the uterus) is too narrow for a tampon to get into. Your vaginal canal is essentially a dead-end as far as tampons are concerned, they can go no further than the vaginal canal. If you insert [clean] fingers vaginally you can feel for yourself that your vaginal canal is only so long ans there's nowhere for a tampon to go.
How do you ask your mom to bring you tampon shopping?
"Look, mom, this is obviously awkward, because I'm your daughter, but no daughter would EVER wanna have to talk about this, but I'm just gonna say it: Because I need to and am not (obviously) six or younger, I need to go tampon shopping. Any questions?" ~ say that ~ hope it helps =) ~
If you think you may be in your 1st week of pregnancy can you still use a tampon or should you just use napkins?
No, you obviously don't use a tampon.Tampons should only be used during menstruation or withdrawal bleeding, they shouldn't be used when not menstruating, when spotting, or even with light flow. Tampons dry-out the vaginal tissues and with less blood tampons will have more of a drying effect so cause increased vaginal tissue damage, this in turn increases risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome by allowing TSST-1 toxins direct access to your bloodstream. This is basic tampon use, if you don't understand this don't use tampons.If you're experiencing spotting then use liners, pads, menstrual cups, or softcups.
If i skip 2 pills can that cause spotting?
Yes it can cause spotting which would be classed as a mild withdrawal bleed and it also puts you at risk of pregnancy. You need to use a condom for 4 weeks
What is Miley Cyrus must need?

How long is a tampon?
A conventional tampon such as a rayon tampon like Tampax or a cotton tampon like Natracare is around an inch and a half long. A soft tampon like Beppy is only about an inch wide and a quarter of an inch deep. A sponge tampon size will vary depending on how heavy your flow, but often is around the size of a golf ball. A cloth tampon size will vary depending on how long it is made.
What should you do if your on your period and its really heavy and you have swim class?
You need to weAR A tampon. Or if your not sure if a tampon will protect you fully, wear a panty liner.
