Before you begin
① Learn about tampon structure
Plastic part
Absorbent part
② Examine the product
1. Pull the string to make sure it doesn’t pull off or tear apart!
2. Make sure the tip of the applicator isn’t squished or cracked!
With a compact tampon,
1. Grasp the tip of the thin cylinder (inner cylinder) and pull in the direction of the arrow.
2. Pull until it clicks, and you’re done!
Important point before inserting
How to hold it
Posture
Insertion point
STEP1: Insert
Insert until your fingers holding the grip touch your body
Insert until the fingers holding the grip of the cylinder touch the vaginal opening.
This is how far in the body up to the pink line
Point!
Hold at an angle as if to lay the cylinder down. Don’t force it in. Find an angle where it easily slides in.
STEP2: Push out
Push the blue cylinder
Hold the cylinder in place, and use your other hand to push the blue cylinder in.
Push until the fingers holding the cylinder and the finger pushing the blue cylinder overlap.
Push until the heart mark is hidden, and the absorbent part will enter the body.
Point!
Exhale and relax!
If you’re nervous and tense, it will be harder to insert, so breathe out and relax.
Push until your fingers overlap all the way!
Keep pushing until the fingers holding the grip and the finger pushing the blue cylinder overlap.
STEP3: Pull out
Pull out the cylinder
Just pull it out with the fingers holding the grip. The string will be used for removal, so leave it hanging out.
Point!
If after inserting you feel uncomfortable, that means it’s not in the right spot. Take it out, and try again with a new tampon!
If you feel even a little discomfort,

After use
Remove the tampon
Pull the string to remove the tampon. Breathe out, relax your body, and pull forward at an angle.
If it’s still white and hard to remove, try using a tampon with lighter absorbency!
Disposal and Storage
Never flush applicators, wrappers, or used tampons down the toilet. Dispose according to local trash disposal guidelines.
Store tampons in a box in a clean place, away from water, heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
