[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I did c section, so I did not have vaginal birth. I have never used a tampon. I tried one time, and it was unsuccessful and hurt. It was so tight and dry down there that I can't figure out how to insert it. I am petite and small, can someone recommend me a tampon brand that is easy to use. I will try it again. [/quote]

How do you have sex...?

I can't fathom never having used a tampon - are you from a culture that finds them dirty?

Lots of options with the silk applicators...[/quote]

Oh geese OP.  Yes, you can wear a tampon.  They aren’t too big for you.  Get a thin kind with plastic applicator like Tampax pearls light absorbency.  Aim toward your tailbone when you insert and don’t try to put it in until your flow is pretty consistent (not the first spotting).  [/quote]

+1. Barring a medical problem, any woman should be able to use a tampon. It may have been user error on the first try. I remember when I was 13 and first tried using them I incorrectly inserted and it was very uncomfortable [/quote]

There's "should be able to" and "is comfortable doing so." I have had two babies vaginally, but I am incredibly uncomfortable wearing tampons. I have a retroverted uterus, but I'm not sure if that is a part of the issue or not. I find the cups comfortable, though.[/quote]

Have you tried other brands, sizes, etc? [/quote]

NP but after my second kid I find tampons nearly intolerable. I’ve tried different brands, etc. I never had a problem with them before but now I do. I’ve tried a few kinds of cups with mixed results comfort-wise, and I’ve yet to find one that doesn’t leak.

That said, I’d wear a tampon to the pool for a few hours. [/quote]
