Are you aware that you smell like old blood?


You can sniff out all the women in the world that don't wear tampons? Wow, that's some hound dog nose you've got.


Not the pp but yes, I can tell when other women are wearing pads. It's an awful smell and I would never admit to in IRL. I can smell it on coworkers or when I sit next to women on the metro. I can't stand that smell.


So you can tell the women who either haven't changed their pad often enough or showered. That's gross. That's also not most pad wearers.

When you get there you may find tampons don't cut it for perimenopausal periods.



Oh god. It's going to get worse? It was so much heavier after DC1 that I am kind of scared for after DC2 is born, now perimenopause?

I wore tampons my whole life pre kids too, even swore that I would never wear pads because they were gross. But tampons were very uncomfortable after kids, I could always feel them and they dried me out. I couldn't use pads either, they made my skin burn. All of them except the awful huge ones from the hospital. I used a Diva cup-like thing for awhile, and then switched to cloth pads.

Love them and haven't looked back.

That is so weird.

I have to wear pantyliners when wearing tampons. Hopefully you don't get all Lassie on that, too

Not OP, but I find tampons to be so incredibly gross and uncomfortable.


You must be doing it wrong then. I can't feel them at all. I find bleeding to be uncomfortable and smelly (I have a very good sense of smell and can unfortunately smell it on other people too...)


Yes, of course.

Because everyone's vagina works just like yours.

I agree.

My first one tore me to shreds. After that, tampons hurt.

I use the for my heavier days. Try as I might, I simply cannot use them on light days unfortunately.
