I used to only wear tampons. I can't stand pads because I hate that oozing feeling  Anyway, I could tell they were a little uncomfortable to wear after Kade was born, but I didn't have many periods before I got pregnant with Carter. After Carter, they are too uncomfortable for me to wear  I tried wearing one today and I could only keep it in for a couple of hours. Wearing it feels like there's something in there that's not supposed to be. Is this normal after babies? Any of you have the same experience? |

| i only wear them when a thong is required with a dress and af. (i dont like the thought of blood hanging out up there..kwim) but i did notice a differance after i had mya. Not much of one just more aware it was there..so on top of not being a fan in the first place they are use on absolute need basis at this point. |

| yeah, I haven't been able to wear them since I had Ben. it just isn't comfortable for some reason. I don't like bulky pads tho. I hate feeling like I am wearing diapers. I use cloth. I KNOW. not for everyone.  but they are so cute, and way more comfortable, it feels like you are pampering your butt! http://www.etsy.com/listing/49396027/your-choice-reusable-cloth-menstrual-pad?ref=sr_list_13&ga_search_query=menstrual+pads+cloth&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title |

Have you tried the slender ones? I also do the "free" kind . . . .no fragrance, deodorant or anything. I do get this occasionally but it didn't correspond for me with having Olivia. I thought it was a fifty thing, honestly, as it just started in the last year or so  I occasionally switch to pads on very light days because tampons get too "dry" for me. |

I always use Tampon Pearl...no scent. If I have to, I can wear one for a couple of hours, but it is very uncomfortable. AND, there is no way I could take one out and put another one in. It's just weird because I used to never even notice them. I am afraid I am going to have to live the rest of my menstruating years with pads  |

| Dana, talk to your ob about it. I have a friend who had so much scaring 'down there' from child birth that she could not insert a tampon or have sex. She had to get vaginal physical therapy ( and no,,, I have no idea what exactly it entailed! LOL) ,,, eventually she was able to use tampons again and have sex. anyway,,,its worth talking to your doc about....... |
