Question

Can a Tampon be used to stop a nosebleed?

Answer 1

Have you seen the size of some Tampons? They only absorb the blood not stop it. Take a tip from the fight scene, the cut man use big Que tips to clean the nostrils of blood and ice packs to stop the bleeding. Don't lean forward but hold head high when trying to stop the flow. A Que tip pressed on the nose cut (or source of flow) will generally slow the blood dripping. Your natural body clotting will take care of the rest.

Answer 2

Yes but very embarrassing,

it's allot easier to pinch your nose, it stops bleeding 2 times faster.

If you don't want to pinch your nose you can just use some tissue paper.

Answer 3

In theory it would absorb all the blood but I'm at a loss as to why anyone would want to when there are other ways to xD

Answer 4

Only if you have a really big nostril and don't mind looking really silly.

Answer 5

well I'm not sure if it would STOP a nose bleed, but I'm sure it would absorb the blood though.

Answer 6

hmmm did someone whatch "She's The Man" recently? lol sure go ahead but only if you're alone.....hahaha

Answer 7

Yes, I've seen sports players use them before, although it looks ridiculous and if your nostril is really small it might not fit.
