Question....

Bleeding after birth. How long do you have to wait until you can start using tampons again?

Thank you! x

I wouldn't use them for bleeding after birth but I used them for my first period (at about 8 weeks) as I'd been given the OK by the GP at my 6 week check. Hope that helps!

When I had my son 3 years ago my doc advised not using tampons for about 3 months after the birth! Not sure if this is standard advice for everyone, or whether it was because I'd had a bad tear and needed time to heal? Either way, I wouldnt use them for the first couple of months anyway as you can still be quite sore and bruised inside, and there is also a risk of infection
