No, what is being expelled needs to be allowed to pass.

Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration, giving TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into your body - using too high an absorbency increases damage so increases TSS risks. During menstruation you know your flow pattern to know what absorbency to use, during miscarriage you don't know how much blood you're going to lose and thus may use too high an absorbency so increase risk of TSS.

Tampons are a major cause of vaginal infections, during miscarriage you are at higher risk not only from vaginal infections but of those infections travelling further-up your vagina into the uterus where it may lead to a far more serious infection.

No, tampons should only ever be used during menstruation - even if your bleeding is heavy enough to warrant a tampon you won't know how heavy bleeding will be or for how long so there is risk of using too high an absorbency. Also during miscarriage risk of infection and PID is higher, given tampons negative effect on vaginal health they shouldn't be used at this time.

If you're experiencing miscarriage use a pad.

Tampons should only be worn when menstruating, during miscariage your flow may vary so you would not know what absorbency to use - using too high an absorbency tampon will increase risks of TSS. With an open cervix there is higher risk of vaginal infections travelling further into your vagina which may lead to pelvic inflamatory disease - tampons increase risk of vaginal infections.

No - tampons can only be worn during menstruation, during miscarriage you have no way of knowing how heavy flow will be or for how long so you would run the risk of using too high an absorbency. During miscarriage you would also be at higher risk of vaginal infections, PID, and TSS from tampon use.

No, you can't use tampons during a miscarriage.

During miscarriage uterus lining and embryo/fetus is being expelled, holding that material inside your vagina is not a good idea. During miscarriage the cervix is open so it's easier for infections, like those caused by tampon use, to get into the reproductive organs which can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. Also during a miscarriage you don't know what absorbency to use, both this and experiencing a miscarriage itself could lead to a much greater risk of developing Toxic shock syndrome.

No, it's not safe for you to use a tampon during miscarriage or abortion.

Your cervix is open when you are losing a pregnancy so you are at higher risk from serious infection and Toxic Shock Syndrome as a result of tampon use. You have no way of knowing how heavy the bleeding will be in order to know what absorbency to use safely. Also by preventing tissue from being expelled you put yourself at very serious risk of complications from the miscarriage.

Is it safe to use a tampon a few days after a miscarriage?

No, tampons should not be used a few days after a miscarriage and there's no reason to use tampons as you will not be menstruating at that time. During miscarriage tissue from the pregnancy needs to be expelled, the cervix is more open so you're at higher risk of infection and TSS - thus using tampons would be very dangerous. If you still have bleeding then use pads or period underwear.

Why cant you use tampons after a miscarge?

Tampons can only be used during menstruation. During menstruation you know your flow pattern to know how much blood you are losing on any given day, where as after miscarriage or abortion you have no way of knowing how heavy or light bleeding is going to be. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration which can be painful but which also give TSST-1 toxins responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), using too high an absorbency means more damage so higher risk - with no idea how much you will bleed you may use too high an absorbency. Tampons risk vaginal infections. Tampons prevent vaginal cleaning, effect vaginal pH, encourage bacterial growth, and contain harmful ingredients that effect vaginal flora - thus higher risk of vaginal infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis. After miscarriage or abortion your cervix is more open, thus there's higher risk of vaginal infections travelling further-up into your vagina, this puts you at higher risk of serious infections and pelvic inflammatory disease. It is important to allow the tissue/foetus/embryo/zygote/placenta/uterus lining to shed during miscarriage or abortion, keeping it inside your vagina is not healthy.
