, including toxic shock syndrome and/or the risk of developing yeast, fungal, and bacterial infections.Of course, there are always menstrual pads , which absorb your flow and serve as a solid option for those who can't or prefer not to use internal period products. But given that you can't swim in them and plenty of people find them downright uncomfortable, it's understandable if you're looking for other alternatives.
There are also reusable menstrual cups or disposable discs, typically made of flexible medical-grade silicone or rubber. Both work similarly in that you insert them into the vagina to collect blood, making for a mess-free, long-lasting solution that plenty of people love as an alternative to tampons.
