Why is my vagina raw after using tampons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes removing: A tampon that is not saturated, can lead to tampon fibers attaching to tissues. As it is pulled out it abraides the tissues. Additionally insertion of a paper / cardboard applicator can also be rough against dry tissue.
