Inserting Hollow Tampon, how does it work? Read the explanation!

Menstruation is something that many women have to deal with, and fortunately there are more and more options to deal with it in a comfortable, safe and sustainable way. What if you could spend your period without hassle, without waste, with more comfort and freedom? That’s exactly what the Beppy Hollow Tampon® makes possible. This innovative tampon is designed to make your menstrual period a lot more enjoyable. No string, no absorbent cotton, but a reusable, hollow tampon that adapts to your body and collects menstrual blood instead of absorbing it. But what kind of tampon is it and how should you insert a hollow tampon? In this blog, we tell you all about it!

What exactly is a Hollow Tampon?

Before we explain how a Hollow Tampon insertion works, it is good to first understand what makes this tampon so special. This is because the Beppy Hollow Tampon® is completely different from the standard tampons you find at the drugstore. This is the world’s very first reusable tampon, made from 100% medical grade silicone. That means no harmful chemicals, no irritating fibers, and no string. Discreet, comfortable and safe!

What makes this tampon truly unique is its hollow design. Instead of absorbing menstrual blood, as traditional tampons do, the Hollow Tampon captures the blood. This has a big advantage: the risk of dehydration or irritation of the vaginal wall is greatly reduced, because the natural moisture balance is maintained. So your body stays better balanced, which is especially nice if you have sensitive skin or mucous membranes.

Moreover, thanks to its flexible shape, the tampon adapts perfectly to the contours of your body. This not only ensures optimal wearing comfort, but also reliable protection throughout the day. And because the Hollow Tampon is reusable, you not only save money, but also contribute to reducing waste. Good for you and for the planet.

Inserting Hollow Tampon: here’s how to do it step by step

Maybe the idea of inserting a Hollow Tampon feels a little exciting at first. But trust us, with a little practice you’ll get the hang of it in no time. Here’s how to go about it:

Wash your hands thoroughly: Hygiene is super important, especially if you are putting anything into your body. Therefore, always wash your hands with water and mild soap before you start. This will prevent you from introducing unwanted bacteria.
Prepare the tampon: Take the Hollow Tampon and gently fold it sideways between your fingers. It has a heart-shaped design that unfolds again after insertion and adapts perfectly to the shape of your body. The flexible medical silicone makes it feel very natural.
Adopt a comfortable position: The best position to insert a the tampon varies from person to person. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and can relax your muscles well, as this makes insertion much easier. Many women find it comfortable to sit on the toilet, place one leg on the bathtub rim or stand slightly squatting. Try different positions to discover what is most comfortable for you.
Insert Hollow Tampon: Hold the folded tampon between your thumb and forefinger and gently and gradually slide it into your vagina. Thanks to its soft material and ergonomic design, it slides in smoothly. Once it’s seated properly, you hardly feel it at all!
Check the tampon’s fit: The Beppy Hollow Tampon® is designed with subtle friction drops that provide extra grip. These keep the tampon securely in place, even during exercise, sports or swimming. Is it comfortable? Then it’s a good fit! You only need to remove it after a few hours, depending on your menstrual volume.

How do you remove the tampon?

Just as important as insertion, of course, is removal. This, too, is very simple:

Gently pull the extraction ring located at the bottom of the tampon.
Rinse the tampon with cold water and use a mild, pH-neutral soap if necessary.
For thorough cleaning, place it in boiling water for five minutes daily or use the special Beppy sterilizer.
Let it dry thoroughly and store it in a dry place, ready for its next use.
