What is a "tampon"?

A tampon is a small, cylindrical device made of absorbent material that is inserted into the vagina during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid. It is designed to be comfortable, discreet, and to provide leak-proof protection. Tampons come in various sizes and absorbency levels to accommodate different flow intensities. They offer convenience and freedom of movement during menstruation, allowing individuals to engage in regular activities without interruption.
