o.b. ProComfort Tampons The enhanced o.b. tampon – SILKTOUCHTM cover for ultimate comfort and protection. How to use o.b. Tampons? * 1 - Wash your hands. Only use an o.b.® tampon with a sealed wrapper. Pull the coloured tear strip and remove both ends of the wrapper. Pull the string tight and use it to widen the base of the tampon by pulling the string toward you, away from you and side to side, creating a place for your finger. * 2 - Place your index finger in the space you created. This will help keep your finger clean and protected when inserting the tampon. Hold the tampon firmly with your thumb and middle finger. Find a comfortable position, either sitting on the toilet or standing with one leg up. * 3 - Relax your muscles. With your free hand, gently hold open the skin surrounding the vaginal opening. With the full length of your index finger, guide the tampon into your vagina, aiming toward your lower back. Once the tampon is in the right place, you won’t feel it. If you do, readjust. Leave the string hanging outside your body for removal. Wash your hands. Change your tampon at least every 8 hours.
