Do tampons make your period shorter?

Question

I have recently been using tampons and my period has become shorter is this because my body is still changing or is it because tampons shorten a period.

Answer 1

No they do not make them shorter.

It is because they are stuck up in your vagina instead of on your panties, so it only seems shorter.

Then again you could just have a short period whether you use tampons or not.

Answer 2

Not really...a little more manageable, yes. You aren't concentrating on that quite as much as you would with the alternative. For a lot of people, their periods get shorter with time so that could also have an affect.

Answer 3

No, tampons does not make periods shorter.
But, as a female who used tampons for a long time (20 years), I can tell you that tampons are very bad for woman's vagina's mucosa. You might get irritations, allergies, etc.
Vagina's mucosa is design in the same way as it is your mouth, would you put tampon in you mouth?
Beside, tampones where design long time ago by the MAN, not by the female. What can possible men know abut women's body chemistry bisides theory? Especially about vagina's bio-chemistry?

Answer 4

No, tampons don't shorten a period. They hold more fluid than pads though, so you might think your period is shorter but in reality, it's just soaking up more than your pad would.

Answer 5

They DON'T make a period shorter. Chances are your cycle is straightening out and has become shorter. (a period lasts from 3-7 days, so anything in that time frame is normal).

Answer 6

Its because your body is still changing. Tampons have nothing to do with it.

Answer 7

no
