ANSWERS
About inserting the tampon
Q: How do I know if the tampon is inserted properly?
A: Just as with an ordinary tampon, in principle, the Beppy is well-positioned if you don’t feel it. It should be placed well into the vagina, but even if the tampon is slightly lower, the Beppy tampon still works fine.
Q: Does the tampon fit? It’s so big.
A: Oh yes, the tampon fits easily. Once you’ve inserted it, it takes on the shape of your body, that’s why the tampon is so comfortable that you don’t feel it.
Q: Is it possible to insert the tampon too deeply?
A: No, the tampon can never get lost inside you, because it can’t go anywhere. The passage between your vagina and your cervix is far too small to allow a tampon through.
About removing the tampon
Q: How do I get the tampon out?
A: Using the Beppy tampon is rather like using contact lenses, you need a little practice to get the hang of it. The Beppy tampon can be most easily removed when you are relaxed; especially on the first few occasions you need to take your time with it. The Beppy tampon can be easily removed, because the tampon has a handy loop that you can stick your finger through.
Q: Can you easily remove the tampon when it is very deep inside?
A: After love-making the tampon will be somewhat deeper than when you wear the tampon without having made love. Right after intercourse, your vagina is still maximally stretched, so wait a bit before removing the tampon. It is easiest to remove it whilst taking a shower or having a bath, then you are nicely relaxed and your vagina is moist and supple. If you like, you can let the tampon sink down a bit (get heavier) by getting it wet using the shower; then the tampon is easier to get hold of. Relaxation is the key.
Q: Why doesn’t the tampon have any string?
A: That’s what makes it so user-friendly. It’s what gives you the freedom to do whatever you want. For example, whenever you are in the sauna, the swimming pool or at the beach, you don’t have to worry that the string may be hanging out of your swimsuit.
Q: What do I do with a used tampon?
A: Wrap the Beppy tampon in a piece of toilet paper and throw it in the waste disposal. In many public toilets you will find specially placed sanitary bins for this purpose. Never throw the tampon in the toilet. That could cause blockage of the toilet.
Q: Is a string-free tampon hygienic?
A: A tampon without a string is just as hygienic as using a tampon with a string, as long as you wash your hands before and after removal.
Q: I can’t get the tampon out, what now?
A: Above all, stay calm. The more you relax, the more easily you get the tampon out. Pull the tampon out with your fingers. Search for the loop and use that to pull it out. If this does not work, try to perform a vaginal douche in order to make the tampon heavier. In case that also does not work and you can't easily find the loop, you can crouch and use 2 fingers (tweezers grip) to pull out the tampon. You may use some light pressure.
About using the tampon
Q: Can I wear the tampon in the sauna as well?
A: Yes, you can wear the tampon without problems in the sauna.
Q: Can I wear the tampon in a (Turkish) steam bath?
A: Yes, you can wear the tampon without problems in a (Turkish) steam bath.
Q: How long can I wear the tampon?
A: How long you can wear a tampon depends on the strength of your menstrual flow. During the first, heavier days of your period, you will probably need to change the Beppy tampon after 2 to 6 hours. During the lighter days, the tampon can be used for approximately 6 to 8 hours. Always remember to remove the last tampon at the end of your period. After a while you will begin to get a feel for how often you need to remove the tampon.
Q: Does your partner feel the tampon when you’re making love?
A: When you’re excited, your vagina is more stretchable than in a non-excited state. If the tampon is at body temperature, it is soft and flexible like the wall of the vagina. For a man, it may feel like coming up against the cervix (this is something a man often feels). If you are making love with your regular partner, he may well feel a difference (because he knows you so well physically).
Q: Can I urinate as normal with the tampon in?
A: Oh yes, the tampon is positioned in your vagina. The vagina, urethra and anus are separate from each other and have their separate openings. So you don’t need to change the tampon every time you go to the toilet. It is often even a bit easier to remove the tampon after urination because you can relax better then.
Q: Can I use the tampon overnight?
A: Yes, this is even very comfortable. You can move in your sleep as often as you like, the tampon stays safely in place - unlike a sanitary towel. Although you may have the tampon in a bit longer at night, bleeding is usually lighter when you are lying down. However, you should always insert a new tampon just before bedtime and immediately after getting up.
Q: Can I swim with the tampon in?
A: With Beppy tampons, you can do anything you like doing during your period. They offer you the opportunity to play sports, go swimming and even make love as normal during your period if you want to, since the Beppy tampon absorbs the menstrual blood inside your body.
Q: Do I lose my virginity when using Beppy tampons?
A: Yes, there is a chance that the natural elastic opening in the hymen, through which menstrual fluid leaves your body, is too small for the Beppy tampon to get through. Beppy tampons are therefore less suitable for young girls (girls who have only just started menstruating) or women who have not yet had sexual intercourse.
Q: I have an IUCD; won’t the IUCD strings stick to the tampon?
A: You don’t have to worry about that. The strings of your IUCD will not stick to the tampon.
Q: Can I use the Beppy tampon more than once?
A: No, you can not re-use Beppy tampons. After use, you must throw the Beppy tampon in the waste disposal.
Q: Beppy is on sale in only one size. Does the Beppy always fit?
A: Beppy tampons only come in one size and always fit. They are, in fact, very flexible and soft and that ensures that the one size will be a good fit for every woman.
Q: Is the Beppy tampon hypo-allergenic?
A: Yes, Beppy tampons are hypo-allergenic and it’s fine for women who can’t tolerate standard cotton or cellulose tampons to use them.
