Not exactly sure what category this goes in....
I heard that we aren't supposed to go into the baptismal font when we are on our period even
WITH a tampon for health reasons...is this true ?
I think its a rumor b/c if God gave us this gift surely he wouldnt want the work to be post pond b/c of it..

the font water is kept warm for comfort reasons. which means it's a good place for germs to grow. yes they use all the appropriate chemicals to clean it and meet all safety requirements. however as an extra precaution they ask that girls/women on their periods not do baptisms. for the health of everyone not the girl. as for the work not progressing it's only a few days, you can also go and do confirmations only so the work will go forward.

and I also heard that using a tampon is worse for you then a pad. Is better if your body drips the blood b/c its natural rather then having something go up there....
|
tampons always run the risk of toxic shock, read the caution insert you get inside your box of tampons. anytime the body is trying to expel something it's always best if you let that process happen. so yes pads are "better" at letting the body clear out. used appropriately tampons are considered safe. i have another thought on this but what i've said is enough and don't need to upset anyone with being to descriptive. lol

and..
do you say " i'm using a tampon." or " I'm wearing a tampon."
I think i say using....
