A.S (short for both “after sex” and Aima Sense) is an innovative product created by Aima Sense in collaboration with experts in intimate hygiene and tampon production. A.S is a high-absorbency tampon that is inserted into the vagina after sex to absorb any additional bodily fluids (semen) in just 3 minutes.
Thanks to A.S, post-sex hygiene becomes significantly easier. Once you've used an A.S, you can laugh, cough, go for a walk, or work out without worrying about uncomfortable “surprises” that can happen right after, or even the day after, sex. A.S does its job while keeping your mucous membranes comfortable, without drying them out. Aima Sense’s A.S has a patent pending due to its unique design and purpose.
Be sure to have your A.S nearby before sex. For ease, use Aima Sense's reusable applicator (see the applicator tab) for a simple, hygienic, and comfortable insertion. It’s best to load the applicator with an A.S in advance, so you’re ready when the moment strikes. A.S can also be inserted without the applicator, just like a regular tampon.
- Insert the A.S, with or without the applicator
- Lie back and relax, or go about your day. (Tip: It’s always a good idea to have a pee after sex.)
- After 3–5 minutes, gently remove the A.S by pulling the string. Dispose of the used A.S in household waste
Read the instructions included in the box before using A.S for the first time.Note: A.S is not a contraceptive and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs); it should not be used as a substitute for a condom in these respects.
-
The A.S tampon is not a contraceptive, and you can still get pregnant even if you use it after intercourse.
However, we recommend not using the A.S tampon if you are actively trying to conceive. This is to avoid any uncertainty about whether it could affect your chances of getting pregnant.

After Sex Tampon
Our A.S. tampon is soft and designed with a density that allows it to quickly absorb semen after intercourse. It has a limited absorption capacity, specifically adapted to absorb a typical ejaculation volume of around 3–5 ml. Thanks to its design and fiber properties, it absorbs evenly from all directions. You can safely remove it after 3–5 minutes without worrying about leakage. Even when you stand up, it stays securely in place.Regular Menstrual Tampon
A standard menstrual tampon is compact and made to hold blood for a longer period; its surface is often firm and smooth due to the tight compression of fibers. Menstrual blood flows from the uterus, which the tampon is designed for, as it opens up like a flower to catch droplets primarily coming from above. A regular tampon (rated for medium flow) can absorb about 9–12 ml, depending on the brand.How does a regular tampon work for absorbing semen?
- When you stand up, a regular menstrual tampon may easily slip out, resulting in a messier experience. (Trust us, we know this from extensive testing with focus groups early in our journey).
- It takes significantly longer to absorb fluids. You may even forget it inside due to the extended absorption time, which is not ideal!
- Regular tampons can’t effectively absorb all fluids due to the tightly packed fibers.
- Regular tampons have a much larger absorption capacity, which means that if left inside, they could retain more fluid than is necessary.
We believe the most important aspects of this product are absorption efficiency, timing, comfort, and safety. In the end, using the right product for the right purpose is essential to ensure just that!
-
Yes! Amazing, right? A.S. effectively absorbs semen in the vagina in just 3 minutes. You can leave it in a little longer if you like; we recommend 3–5 minutes. To help ensure you don’t accidentally forget your A.S. inside, we suggest setting a timer. Please read the instructions before use.
Read the user manual before use.

A tampon applicator is a smart product that helps you insert tampons easily and hygienically. Our applicator is designed to replace single-use plastic or cardboard applicators and fits tampons in sizes Mini to Super (1–5 drops). Naturally, it’s compatible with our A.S. tampon.
Benefits of the Aima Sense applicator:
- Reduces single-use waste and is a better choice for the planet.
- Saves money over time by using non-applicator tampons instead of those with disposable plastic or paper applicators.
- Made from body-safe, medical-grade TPE plastic for smooth and safe use.
- Easy to clean and disinfect – built for long-term use.
- Compatible with various tampon sizes and flows from Mini to Super (1–4 drops).

Yes, it can.
Did you know that a woman’s vagina has a natural pH level of around 3.8–4.5, while semen has a pH level of about 7.2–8? This difference is crucial for sperm mobility, but it can also disrupt the pH balance in the vagina after unprotected sex. This imbalance can sometimes lead to issues like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections.
Many women who use the A.S tampon after sex have shared that it has not only become a regular part of their hygiene routine but has also helped alleviate discomfort they previously experienced frequently. Amazing, isn’t it?
In March 2024, we launched a study to find out how common post-sex imbalance is after unprotected intercourse and to see how the use of A.S might help prevent it. Of the women who reported frequently experiencing some form of imbalance after sex, a full 95% noticed a significant improvement thanks to the A.S tampon.
-
After sex, several different body fluids mix, each with their own pH levels. Semen, for example, is more alkaline, while the vagina is naturally acidic to help protect against bacteria and yeast. When this balance is disrupted, the sensitive vaginal environment can be affected, which may sometimes lead to imbalance, irritation, or an overgrowth of unwanted bacteria or yeast.
This is why many women experience discharge, odor, or discomfort after sex. Our products are designed to gently support the body in restoring its pH balance more quickly, leaving you with a fresher, more comfortable feeling in everyday life.
-
A mild or different odor after sex is common and usually happens because the body’s pH balance is temporarily disrupted when semen and other fluids mix. This can affect the vaginal microbiome and cause a scent that differs from the usual.
If the odor is strong, unpleasant, and does not go away, it may be a sign of bacterial vaginosis (BV) – a common imbalance in the vaginal bacteria that sometimes requires treatment.
Common causes of odor after sex:
: Semen has a higher pH than the vagina and can disrupt the normal balance.
: The most common cause of a noticeable “fishy” odor, caused when good lactobacilli are reduced.
: The vagina always has a natural, often tangy scent, which can vary with hormones, diet, or cycle.
: Such as a forgotten tampon, yeast infection, or urinary tract infection.How can Aima Sense products help?
Our products are designed to support the body’s natural balance after sex. The A.S tampon absorbs fluids and helps restore the vaginal pH more quickly. Our wipes and oil gently cleanse and hydrate, which can reduce the risk of imbalance and the odor that sometimes occurs.When should you seek care?
If the odor is strong, persistent, or combined with symptoms like itching, burning, or unusual discharge, it is a good idea to contact a healthcare professional for advice or treatment.
