Are tampons good for clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ok for clots: Tampons work best for menstrual periods that are mostly blood and smaller clots. Tampons may not work as well when a woman is having very heavy periods or large clots. However see if it works ok for you. A tampon will not stop you from having clots.
