How do i know that i'm allergic to tampons or if i'm just not inserting it in properly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tampons: I would look at the components of the tampons you use, write them down, and consider seeing a dermatologist or an allergist for patch testing. But the first thing to do is get in to your gynecologist and ask them to show you the proper technique with the tampon you currently use.
