Every year, National Tampon Day is observed on May 12 across the United States of America (USA) to educate people about tampons and its uses during menstruation. As a personal hygiene product, tampons are effective for managing menstrual flow comfortably. Unlike sanitary pads, tampons are worn internally, offering comfort and hygiene, especially in situations where access to clean, private restroom facilities is limited. Tampons are absorbent hygiene products that are inserted into the vaginal canal to absorb menstrual blood directly, offering a clean and discreet solution during periods.
