can i use a tampon with an iud review

Yes, you can use tampons if you have an IUD (intrauterine device) . The IUD is placed inside the uterus, while tampons are inserted into the vagina, so they do not interfere with each other. However, it is best to avoid using tampons immediately after IUD insertion. Some women may be concerned about accidentally pulling out their IUD when removing a tampon, but this is rare unless the strings on the IUD are unusually long. It is important to remember that with or without an IUD, tampons should not be used when not on your period, when you have symptoms of an infection, when it has been 6 weeks or less since giving birth, when using a vaginal medication, or if you have a history of toxic shock syndrome. Tampons should also be free from any kind of dust, particulate, and foreign matter, and should be resistant to linting and not leave any residual fibers in the vagina after removal.
