Okay, so, I’ve been using NuvaRing for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s pretty convenient. But, like, every month, I get my period, and I’m a tampon kind of girl. So I was wondering, “Can I actually use a tampon with this thing in?”
First, I did some digging online, you know, just to see what other people were saying. Turns out, it’s a pretty common question. I found some info that said it’s totally fine to use tampons with NuvaRing. Phew, that’s good news!
So, the next time Aunt Flo came to visit, I decided to give it a shot. I washed my hands, opened a fresh tampon, and, you know, did my usual routine. I already had the NuvaRing in, so I just inserted the tampon like I normally would. It felt a little weird at first, having both in there, but it wasn’t painful or anything.
I went about my day, checking every few hours to make sure everything was still in place. I was mainly worried that I’d accidentally pull out the ring when I changed my tampon, but that didn’t happen. Just had to be a bit careful, you know? I made sure to hold the ring in place with my finger when I pulled out the tampon. It might be better to remove the tampon slowly and gently.
- Washed my hands before doing anything.
- Inserted the NuvaRing first.
- Inserted a tampon after that.
- Made sure to be gentle when removing the tampon.
After a few days, I took out the ring for my ring-free week, and everything was fine. No issues, no discomfort, nothing. It was like using a tampon without the ring, just with an extra step of being mindful.
My conclusion?
It’s totally doable! You can definitely use tampons with NuvaRing. Just be careful, and you’ll be good to go. I’ll definitely keep doing it this way.
