I don't think it makes a difference if u have a vaginal or a c-section sweetheart.....I don't think is good to use tampons after giving birth at least not while u are bleading...cuz they want all that to get out and sometimes tampons do not allow that to happen....ask ur doctor...but I'm pretty sure that after u are done with all ur bleeding and the healing u can most definitely swim and use tampons.

No tampons or swimming for at least 4-6 but they recommend a full 8 weeks. It takes almost 4 months to completely heal internally from a c section. I've have 2 & having my 3rd in 4 weeks, don't chance it let your body heal and only use pads

You are not allowed to use tampons for 6 weeks after a c-section just like with a vaginal birth and no swimming until you are fully healed so 4-6 weeks.

I Believe Tampons Are Still A No No Because They Can Cause An Infection. But It's Better To Check With Your Doctor Just incase

You can't swim until the incision heals
