Ah, the eternal question. Well, maybe not eternal, but certainly one that has been asked time and time again since the advent of intrauterine devices (IUDs). Let’s get right down to it: can you wear a tampon while using an IUD? The answer is yes! But…there are some things you should keep in mind.

Introduction

So grab a cuppa tea (or whatever beverage tickles your fancy) and let’s dive right in!

What is an IDU?

Before we go any further on this journey together ‘hear ye! Hear ye!‘ , it’s essential to understand what exactly is going on up there. An intrauterine device, also known as ‘IDU,’ ‘break out the textbooks‘, is essentially a tiny T-shaped piece of plastic inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider (usually your gynecologist). There are different types depending on what suits each individual person’s needs. These devices work as contraceptives by preventing sperm from fertilizing eggs entering through cervixes.

Essentially “it ain’t nothing but birth control.”

The Myth: Pulling Out Your IDU with a Tampon String

One concern many women have about wearing tampons while having Mirena or other hormonal IDs installed revolves around rumors they may have heard from friends over some beers on girls’ night out. The rumor is that the string from your tampon will somehow get wrapped up around the IUD strings and pull it out when you are trying to de-bulk down there.

The good news is that, in most cases, this simply won’t happen ‘phew!‘. Your IUD strings hang down only an inch or two into your vagina so unless your tampon string happens to be long enough for Gandalf and you try to yank it really hard-you should have no problem with them getting tangled together ‘all clear if don’t forget where Middle Earth is located‘.

However, one thing you should keep in mind while inserting a tampon; make sure to position the said item/cotton rod/tiny carrot/- however else people refer to their tampons nowadays– closest towards the opening of your vagina rather than positioning further back as possible. This ensures avoiding any potential tangling between threads ‘consider threading as an adventure sport’.

Dislodging Your IDU

Another pseudo-myth spread at slumber parties we encourage debunking also revolves appear about pulling an IUD out once again – but this time not specifically involving dear old Tampons…nope! In fact instead involves using menstrual cups.

This myth reports that suction creates by these cups might cause dislocation/ripping off the device through sheer force lol unlike Vacuum cleaners which help pick up dust, dirt etc., menstural cups do not vacuum up anything inside bodies’. Alongside this assertion being groundless ‘having all objects pulled away’, research has shown precisely zero confirmed incidents of such happening due solely (if at all)to menstrual cup usage.

TLDR: “Don’t worry darlings.”

Tips for Using Tampons While Wearing Your IDU

Now that we’ve gotten some myths cleared up let’s talk logistics.

First, always remember safety precautions when inserting tampons. By keeping the strings of said devices trimmed to a moderate but steady length, you decrease the probability of interference or tangling”from happening. Further examination suggests that shorter string lengths ensure less incidence regarding discomfort for most users, so double win!

Another way one who has IUD can be exercising caution is by applying an assisting finger to reposition their IDU strings while taking out tampons ‘Gloves on or ewww there will be trouble

Also remember always practice good hygiene and proper disposal techniques after de-using: promptly dispose of used items in trash receptacle if not using feminine product bins designed specifically otherwise it could eventually lead to clogged sewage system issues.

And finally-non-discouragingly-remember some women may get spotting turn heavier discharge than usual initially following fitting date until bodies fully accommodate device – this should subside within a couple of months at most.

Conclusion

So, ladies and those with vaginas (let’s include all inclusive), here’s what we’ve learned today:

Yes! You can wear a tampon with your IUD without damage from entanglement-and suction should not deter use of menstrual cups either; Positioning for comfort during application helps avoid possible ‘entanglement’.

Just make sure to follow our advice-keep threads purged appropriately whilst maintaining healthy clean-up practices & safe hygiene which shouldn’t even have needed mentioning in conjunction with already established habits-at least we hope) removed as expected by directions thus avoiding any awkward moments involving loos where toilets aren’t cooperating #eww

Now go forth young grasshoppers! Conquer Aunt Flo like the badass btch queen you are-’cause nothing can stop her coming monthly(ER)!
