Question
I was just wondering if you could use tampons with the IUD? I am not sure if that question was asked or not. I don't think I seen it.
Answer
Yes, you can use tampons, with the same general safety warning - to avoid Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), do not leave a tampon in for more than 8-10 hours at a time.
