Is it my body post kids or do tampax tampons just suck now?

+1, and only one vaginal birth |

+2. Or the tampon totally flips upside down inside of me. Very depressing. |

| Mirena IUD has solved my post-childbirth tampon woes (unless the ability to bear down and push them out is a perk?) |

| I had similar issues with blood leaking past tampons after giving birth. The one I ended up liking was Playtex Sport. All the others leak. |

| Yes. Something has changed. They always feel like they're in wrong now, no matter what I do, and yes, they are not doing the job. I switched to Kotex after using Tampa for 27 years. That was also because they discontinued the Lights and Slender Regulars, which were my preferred ones. |

| I've been buying tampax from costco, and the regular tampons suck. I've never even had a baby. I prefer Playtex. No leakage. |

| Try OB Ultra - it is the only thing that stays in place for me post baby. |

| I only use tampex tampons. Never had an issue and I have not noticed a difference |

Do you use the kind with the cardboard applicator? |

| After kids, I can't wear them. I've tried. |

Even as a teen, Tampax never worked for me. I could always feel them, and would still leak.
Love OB. |

| I don't have kids, but I've used OB for like 15 years and they're great. |

| I started using a mooncup after kids after being a dedicated tampax girl. After the first few slightly gory times, I would now never go back. Try it - it's not just for crunchy hippies! |
