I just got my period a couple days back and my period blood smells a little peculiar. I want to put tea tree on a tampon, but I don't have a base to apply before it. I ran out of my coconut oil 😳...should I go on ahead and use a little on a tampon?? What's the worst that could happen?? I don't get irritation from using the tea tree oil..

I think you should be fine. I use tea tree oil without delute most times. You may even delute with water if you don't feel safe using only the tea tree oil.

I did tea tree bc I had a yeast infection on top of my cycle. I thought the tea tree would help. If it smells fishy then u have a bacteria infection, if it smells musky you probably need to change tampon more often rather then every 3-4hrs. It's normal for our cycle to have a bad scent too it though, they taught us that in health class in high school.

It didn't smell like the usual, and generally I do not leave my tampons in longer that 4 hours.

It's pretty normal for it to smell, it's not normal for it too smell if ur not on ur cycle.

OH NO I made this same mistake, it was horrible an I felt like I was on fire 🔥. Water would not help either only felt worse. You definitely need an oil base it will burn like crazy if you don't... speaking from a really really bad experience 😰
