No. Tampons are not to be used for discharge. Tampons are made to absorb the menstrual blood and not the discharge. It is totally normal for girls and women to get yellowish and greenish discharge on a daily basis. This is nothing that you should be worried about. Getting this discharge in your underwear can be uncomfortable and might make you feel weird. The solution for this is to wear pantyliners. Panty liners are very light and thin and are perfect for everyday use.
It is just not good to use tampons when you are not on your period. Not only are they unnecessary when you aren’t on your period they are also not going to be easy or comfortable to insert when there isn’t really something for it to absorb.
Pantyliners on the other hand are made to absorb discharge and are very comfortable to be worn all day. Pantiliners are the perfect solution for absorbing discharge. So if you want to have something that will be comfortable, light and easy to use against your discharge just grab a panty liner. It will do the job!
Since tampons were made and are intended for the use of absorbing menstrual blood, they should be used for that purpose.
It’s the same as if you used your toothbrush to brush your hair. The purpose of a toothbrush is to brush your teeth and not your hair. So using your toothbrush to brush your hair would not make sense and would not help make your hair less knotted.
Now using that same logic we can then see that using a tampon for something, which it is not, intended for, like absorbing daily discharge, would not make sense.
So remember, if you need something to absorb your daily discharge use a pantyliner.
