- __Q: How long can I wear a tampon?__  
- A: When using tampons, it's important to choose the lowest absorbency necessary for your menstrual flow. And because the amount of flow varies from day to day, it's likely that you will need to use different absorbencies on different days of your period. Selecting the right absorbency comes with experience, but as a guide, if a tampon absorbs as much as it can and has to be changed before 4 hours, then you may want to try a higher absorbency. On the other hand, if you remove a tampon and after 4-6 hours white fibre is still showing, you should choose a lower absorbency.

__So, what's a ‘normal’ cycle anyway?__

First of all, stop thinking about normal. Every girl is different. What’s important is that you find out what’s normal for you; a period [tracker](/en-gb/period-tracker-and-calendar/) will help you to do just that. All cycles are unique, but between pre-period, period and ovulation, there are a few things we all have in common: 

__Pre-period__

The dreaded [premenstrual syndrome](/en-gb/period-health/what-is-premenstrual-syndrome-pms/). Some common symptoms of PMS are headaches, bloating, irritability and crying more than usual. In other words, that urge to sit on the couch in joggers with a tub of ice cream and cry over ‘The Notebook’. We’ve all been there. 

It’s common to experience PMS in the three days leading up to your period. And just so you know: diet, caffeine and [stress](/en-gb/period-health/stress-and-period/) can increase the intensity of PMS symptoms. 

While these symptoms can be painful and uncomfortable, the good news is there are ways to help manage them: 

- Resist the urge to have an extra cup of coffee 
- Take an over-the-counter painkiller 
- Use a hot water bottle. 

__Period__

This is the start of your cycle and when bleeding begins. But why do we bleed in the first place? Since your egg wasn’t fertilised, your womb lining sheds and leaves your body. Thus, blood. 

Here are some facts about periods: 

- Healthy periods generally last between four and seven days, with the heaviest days being the first and second 
- An average cycle is 28 days, but can range from 21 to 35 days (to work yours out use a [period cycle tracker](/en-gb/period-tracker/)) 
- Bleeding usually amounts to somewhere between 10-80 grams, or 1 to 6 tablespoons of fluid (not that we’re measuring, but it’s good to know for keeping track of tampon changes). 

See your doctor if you find yourself bleeding through six or seven regular tampons a day, or if you’re on your period for more than seven days. 

__Peak ovulation__

This is the time when you’re ovulating and at the highest risk for pregnancy. This fertile time lasts about six days. In a 28-day cycle, ovulation typically occurs on day 14. 

__How to track your period__

To calculate your period, you'll need to count the days in between your last few periods. Start counting on the first day of your period and stop counting on the day before your next period. This is the number of days in one menstrual cycle. Do this for a few cycles, then add up the total number of days and divide them by the number of cycles. This will give you the average number of days in your cycle, and once you know this number, you'll be able to track your period easily.

- __How long can I wear the Tampax Cup?__  
You can wear a Tampax Cup for up to 12 hours – even overnight. Be sure to only wear during your period and empty and clean your cup at least once every 12 hours. Never share your cup with anyone.
- __Which size Tampax Cup is right for me?__  
If you normally use a light, regular or super tampon, we recommend you use TAMPAX Cup Regular Flow. If you normally use a super plus or ultra-tampon, we recommend you use Tampax Cup Heavy Flow. You can trim the stem of the cup to a length that’s most comfortable for you, just do not trim while wearing the cup.

It’s made from 100% medical-grade silicone and 0% dyes, perfume, BPA, or latex.

Each TAMPAX Cup comes with a beautiful, hard-shell carrying case to store and protect your cup in between uses. The case is BPA free and has air holes to ensure no harmful bacteria can grow. It’s important you clean and dry your cup before storing it in its case.
- __How often should I replace my Tampax cup?__  
Inspect your cup regularly for signs of degradation and odor. We suggest replacing your cup every year, but when cared for properly, your TAMPAX Cup can last for years to come.
- __Can I use the Tampax Cup if I have an IUD?__  
If you use an IUD, please consult your gynecologist before using a menstrual cup.
