Tampons after surgery?!?!?! ( sorry guys )

If you were still in the home hospital they would have you wear pads. At home lampoons are fine. When super absorbent lampons were first sold some women got toxic shock syndrome and died.
They left lampons in too long and bacteria built up resulting in sickness and death.
Hospitals don't take the risk and use pads instead. Be very careful about changing lampons often especially while your resistance to disease and germs is somewhat compromised following surgery.
Pads are always the safest method as nothing is inserted into a dark damp place where bacteria can thrive.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
