Q & A

• How can the Soft-Tampons be removed without string?

The tampon can be easily removed through the integrated grip tab by pulling it out with your index or middle finger on the grip tabs. If it is still difficult to remove, we recommend squatting down or sitting on the toilet with spread legs. This will shorten the depth of the vagina from nine to ten centimetres to about four to five centimetres.

The use of the Soft-Tampons is recommended especially on the days when you bleed particularly heavily. A full tampon is very soft and can be easily pulled out.

If you can't feel the grip tab, simply use your index and middle finger to form a kind of tweezers.

• How hygienic is the use of Soft-Tampons?

Soft-Tampons are individually hygienically packaged and extremely hygienic to use when used as directed.

• How do I insert the Soft-Tampons?

Wash your hands before inserting the Soft-Tampons.

For easier insertion, we recommend that you apply some lube, e.g. AQUAglide, to the tampon or moisten it with clean water - then squeeze well to obtain maximum fluid absorption.

The easiest way to insert the tampon into the toilet is to put one leg up (e.g. on a chair). Place your index finger on the tampon's trough, grasp the tampon with your thumb and middle finger on the sides and squeeze it together to form the grip tab.

Open the labia with the other hand and push the tampon into the vagina with your index and/or middle finger until the side of the tampon touches the cervix.

• Can the stringless Soft-Tampons disappear?

Soft-Tampons cannot be lost in the body or get into the uterus. The opening of the uterus is far too small for a tampon to pass through.

The best way to remove the tampon is to squat down and press on the lower abdomen. Pull the integrated grip tab out with your index finger or middle finger. It is generally recommended to use the Soft-Tampons only on days with heavy bleeding, because if a tampon is soaked with blood, it becomes very soft and can be easily pulled out.

If, in rare cases, the tampon cannot be reached, please consult your gynaecologist. 

• What can I do if a stringless tampon cannot be removed?

Soft-Tampons are adapted to the average anatomy of the woman. However, the intimate area of each woman is individually shaped.

For this reason, Soft-Tampons are not suitable for all women equally. One, and/or 'woman' often finds out this only with the application.

Since a Soft-Tampon can do without strings, it can slip behind the cervix in unfavourable cases and is then more difficult to access.

In rare cases, women cannot remove a tampon themselves and then a visit to a gynaecologist is unavoidable.
According to gynaecologists, this also happens with cellulose tampons, e.g. if the string breaks.
This circumstance is pointed out in the instructions for use.

• What distinguishes the Soft-Tampons from conventional tampons?

Soft-Tampons do not have a return strap and are therefore the ideal and discreet alternative for activities such as sauna, sports, swimming or the act of love.

Soft-Tampons consist of soft, hygienic and dermatologically well-tolerated foam that adapts to the female anatomy.
Soft-Tampons can be worn during sexual intercourse and are hardly noticeable for the partner.

• Can the material the Soft-Tampons are made of cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?

No more or less than with conventional tampons, if the following rules are observed: Soft-Tampons should be changed as often as possible (max. wearing time 8 hours). When inserting the Soft-Tampon, make sure your hands are clean. Especially at night tampons should not be used.

• Can I still use a condom when wearing Soft-Tampons?

Yes! The surface of the Soft-Tampons is soft and cannot damage the condom.

• Can I accidentally remove the spiral with the Soft-Tampons?

Consult your gynaecologist before use if you are using a spiral with a slightly protruding return cord for contraception. As a rule, there is no risk of the spiral being accidentally pulled out with the tampon. However, experience has shown that minimal bleeding (commonly known as spotting) can cause the end of the thread to stick to the top of the tampon. Then the spiral can be accidentally pulled out when changing the tampon.

• What do I do with used Soft-Tampons?

As with other hygiene articles for the period, the tampons should simply be disposed of with the household waste.

• Can Soft-Tampons also be used as contraceptives?

No, Soft-Tampons are by no means a contraceptive as they do not kill sperm! After removal, the sperm can still migrate towards the uterus.

• My daughter is very athletic. Can she already use the Soft-Tampons?

If you use it, you should be able to handle your body a little and be familiar with its anatomy. Then nothing stands in the way of its use.

• Are the Soft-Tampons easy to combine with spermicidal creams and condoms for contraception?

We're not aware of any contraindications.

• Should Soft-Tampons be removed directly after sexual intercourse?

We recommend to change Soft-Tampons directly after intercourse to prevent infections.

• How long after delivery do I have to wait before I can use the Soft-Tampons? Can I also use them in my puerperium?

You should wait at least 6 weeks before using any type of tampon.
The weekly flow is bacterial, so it should not be hindered from draining. The bacteria would multiply very quickly.

• Can I also wear Soft-Tampons during pregnancy?

Midwives recommend its use even during pregnancy, as the Soft-Tampons can prevent the penetration of bacteria.

• Should the Soft-Tampon be removed after each visit to the toilet?

It is not necessary to remove the tampon every time you go to the toilet. The vagina and urethra are separate organs, each with its own opening. How to change depends only on the strength of the bleeding. Important: Do not exceed the maximum wearing time of 8 hours.

• Why does my partner notice the Soft-Tampon during sexual intercourse even though I have followed the instructions?

It is important that the tampon is inserted deep enough - directly in front of the cervix. In addition, in women who tend to lack lubrication, the vaginal entrance could be very dry immediately after inserting the tampon. In this case, a lube such as AQUAglide or BIOglide should also be used.

• Which material are the Soft-Tampons made of?

The Soft-Tampons consist of a hygienic material (polyurethane) without chemical substances in order to exclude internal irritations.

• Isn't using the Soft-Tampons very unhygienic?

No, no more or less than when using a conventional tampon, if you wash your hands before and after. In contrast to conventional tampons, Soft-Tampons are even hygienically packaged.

• When does the Soft-Tampon fit correctly?

The Soft-Tampon is then correctly positioned when you can no longer feel it. It should be positioned approximately in front of the cervix.

• How much fluid do the Soft-Tampons absorb? And do they really keep them tight?

The Soft-Tampons are characterized by their low own weight of only 2 grams. Despite their low weight, the liquid absorption capacity of the Soft-Tampons is above average – comparable to the absorption capacity of a conventional cotton tampon.

• How long can I wear the Soft-Tampon?

The wearing period must be adapted to the strength of the period. On stronger days a change after 3 to 5 hours is recommended, on weaker days the Soft-Tampon can be worn for approx. 5 to 8 hours. After sexual intercourse without a condom, the tampon should be replaced immediately.

• Where can I buy JOYDIVISION Soft-Tampons?

Buying Soft-Tampons is very easy. The soft monthly hygiene is available in selected drugstores as well as in pharmacies and erotic shops.

• Can I lose my virginity by using the Soft-Tampons?

As with normal tampons, the sensitive hymen may be damaged during insertion. We therefore recommend that young women who have not yet had sexual intercourse wear bandages.

• Can the Soft-Tampons also be used for swimming?

Here, too, it is the same as with conventional tampons. You should use a fresh tampon before swimming and refrain from swimming if there is heavy bleeding.

Wearing the Soft-Tampons even makes a lot of sense when swimming, as this can reduce the penetration of chlorinated or possibly contaminated water into the vagina. 

• Can't you just make Soft-Tampons yourself?

No, with a tampon, various parameters such as mucous membrane compatibility, absorbency, shape, etc. must be taken into account. Therefore, hygienic and safe self-made production is not possible.

• Can my partner notice Soft-Tampons during sexual intercourse?

It is important that the Soft-Tampon is inserted deep enough - directly in front of the cervix. In addition, in women who tend to lack lubrication, the entrance to the vagina could also be dry immediately after insertion of the tampon.

In this case we recommend the use of a lube, e.g. AQUAglide. This will ensure that your partner will not feel the Soft-Tampon. However, depending on the length of the genitals, it can rarely be completely ruled out.

• My Soft-Tampons have discolored. Can I still use them? And how is the discoloration caused?

Discoloration of the foam may occur before the shelf life has expired, but is completely harmless. The tampons can still be used.

If the Soft-Tampons have been exposed to UV radiation in the form of daylight or artificial light and atmospheric oxygen, under unfavourable circumstances the dye may degrade and discolour. This is a normal process and does not affect the properties or purity of the foam.

Soft-Tampons are manufactured and packaged under hygienic conditions. The material meets the strict criteria of the Oekotex standard and is very kind to the skin (Study Dermatest GmbH 2012). Due to the sensitive area of application, we deliberately do not use colour-stabilizing additives.

• The Soft-Tampons seem so big to me!

We offer the Soft-Tampons as "mini" and "normal" variants. These are anatomical tampons for monthly hygiene, whose material is flexible enough to adapt to the female anatomy. In contrast to the conventional cotton variant, Soft-Tampons do not swell up but already have their final size. To insert the Soft-Tampon, the foam can be easily compressed.

• Are Soft-Tampons reusable?

Please use each tampon only once, as this will no longer guarantee hygienic safety and high absorbency and may lead to infections. We therefore strongly advise you not to wash out the Soft-Tampon and wear it again.

• I suffer from a latex allergy, can I use the Soft-Tampons without hesitation?

The PUR foam of the Soft-Tampons consists of polyaddition products of isocyanates and polyether polyols. It does not contain latex or rubber and can be used safely by latex allergy sufferers.

• What about the sustainability of the Soft-Tampons?

The packaging consists of cardboard, plastic and aluminium foil, which are 100% recyclable. The Soft-Tampon consists of a special environmentally friendly foam which is completely thermally recyclable. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing against Soft-Tampons from an environmental point of view.

• Doesn't the Soft-Tampon also absorb the natural moisture of the woman?

No! In contrast to the conventional tampon, the Soft-Tampons are inserted up to the cervix. The production of the female secretion is located further forward. The so-called Bartholin glands form the secretion which moistens the female genitals during sexual arousal. These glands are located in the back third of the labia minora.

• Does the Soft-Tampon not lose any liquid during compression?

Since the Soft-Tampon is already compressed in the body, this danger does not exist.
