VAGINAL TAMPONAGE FOR CATAMENIAL SANITARY PROTECTION

Abstract

Temporary vaginal tamponage for the purpose of collecting the catamenial discharge has been practiced by women of certain professional groups, such as acrobats and dancers, who cannot wear the usual sanitary pad because of visibility through their costumes. Many of these women, however, have abandoned tampons for small vulval pads which are inserted between the lips of the vulva and collect the exudate during the short interval in which they require such protection. Self tamponage has within the last few years been advocated by a few tampon manufacturers, and tampons have been used for catamenial sanitary protection in place of the usual sanitary pads. The purpose of our investigation was to determine the efficiency of tampons in collecting the catamenial discharge of normal women. Ninety-five women were studied, and three different makes of tampons were purchased and used in the experiments. Tampon A is made of cotton; the fibers run
