Tampons exist. Those creepy suction cup things exist.

Hop in.

Those things are so uncomfortable

I'm not an expert here, but if a tampon is in there right, you shouldn't feel it, yes? Same thing with the bowl thingies?

I'm terrible at getting them in place. Pads are so much easier!

Hi. I just saw this thread on the latest threads tab.

Op, I couldn't wear tampons for years (even when correctly inserted). They at the least were very uncomfortable. Typically painful. Last year I discovered OB tampons. Amazing. I can wear them comfortably. Why not give those a try?

You just have to keep practicing...you'll get them in correctly where you can't feel them.I also wore pads for a LONG time, but a beach trip with the ILs forced me to tampons. SO WORTH IT! Someone on this board suggested Playtex Sport Tampons, and they work great.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the playtex tampons with the pearl applicator! They're the only ones I can stand. I get the purple (light days ones) and they are perfect.

OMG, I could not go through life only wearing pads.


Girl, find a good tampon, please! There has got to be one out there you can properly use and not feel uncomfortable. Looks like there's a few suggestions here, I'd give those a try.

There are some that are "slim" that are good for those that feel they are uncomfortable.

And also if it is a short trip in water your body will actually clam up and not let you release blood. Not that I would recommend that in a public pool though. Just in case.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies
