sponges instead of tampons
This is somewhat of a weird Q but who preffers sponges while dancing on your flow?? I like it better because its more.comfortable but I sometimes find myself digging deep for.it which is pretty bad and uncomfortable has anyone ever have to go to the clinic to have it taken out because it.was in too deep?. any suggestions?:-\
Re: sponges instead of tampons
I've never heard of a period sponge...is it European?
Re: sponges instead of tampons
No im american.... you would just use round or even wedged makeup sponges and stick.em.in..... Its sorta a porn star trick that someone told me about
Re: sponges instead of tampons
^a lot of girls do it for escorting because men can't feel the sponge... I had to do it once when I was in a pinch and just used one you buy to clean and cut it up into a smaller piece. It worked pretty well.
I personally didn't find it much different than tampons comfortability-wise and I found getting the thing out to be a bit of a pain, I had to lie on my back and stick my finger up there and swish around looking for the damn thing, I wouldn't have wanted to do that at a club! But I've never have an issue dancing with a tampon, just stick the string up there and then push your vaginal muscles a bit and the string pops back out.
Re: sponges instead of tampons
You can order some from Pearl online. I love my sponges! I do find them more comfortable, less leakage, and you can have sex with them in. I don't know if I'd use them for dancing on the first few heavy days of my period though. The downfall of the sponges is that they're kinda disgusting in terms of digging them out and needing to rinse them. I wouldn't want to mess around with that in a strip club bathroom. But once the flow slowed down, and I could make it an entire shift without needing to rinse it, sure, I'd switch to it. They can be a pain to take out sometimes, but I always get it eventually. I vastly prefer them to tampons. Haven't bought tampons in over a year.
Re: sponges instead of tampons
I prefer sea sponges over tampons as well. I don't like putting them, the texture is a little rough even when damp... But they are very absorbent and I rarely experience any leakage. They are so comfy, I can't feel it at all once it's in, with tampons it was another story.
I found it hard to get the sponge out at first too. I once panicked and thought it was stuck, I even posted about it on here... :$ One extremely useful tip given to me was to squat and try to dig it out, it makes it much easier to reach when the sponge is pushed too far inside. You eventually get used to it and it becomes easier with some practice. :)
Re: sponges instead of tampons
I knew a girl who had rashes from the chemicals put in pads (obviously not a dancer). She loved the sea sponges. Totally organic.
Re: sponges instead of tampons
I have been curious about trying the sponge. With pads, they make me feel like I'm wearing a diaper lol and with tampons, I change them everytime I pee as I just feel nasty leaving them in there with pee on it. That may just be me but the sponge I keep hearing about but I haven't seen them in the store...maybe I'm looking in the wrong area or just am blind. What stores generally carry them? CVS, Walgreens, Win-dixie, Publix?
Re: sponges instead of tampons
^Would pee actually get onto the tampon since the vaginal canal and urethra are not connected? I'm just curious. I change them everytime too for the same reason.
The only reason I would advice against bringing one to the club is that it is extremely awkward to pull them out and in a tiny, gross strip club bathroom I wouldn't want to deal with that shit.

I've never seen them in stores. I think pretty much everywhere, you have to order them online.
Re: sponges instead of tampons
I know some girls buy the sea sponges they sell in the makeup area at the drugstore.... marketed for makeup application. I don't know if it's the same thing they sell at Jade & Pearl but the ones they have at the drugstore are very tiny.

To be honest, I don't know for sure if there is pee on it but I just feel nasty just in case there was. And I'm with you on that TSS...I change it very often - every time I have to pee often so I go through tampons like there is no tomorrow and that is an expensive thing to be doing.
Re: sponges instead of tampons
I just bought sea sponges from Jade and Pearl and OMG I'm in love! I hate using tampons with all the icky chemicals and dirty cotton and the diva cup was jus so uncomfortable I couldn't get the hang of it. The sponges are wonderful, comfortable and although it did take a while to get used to changing them I found a trick...
Bear down when your removing. It pretty much pushed the sponge downward. Now I have no trouble at all! It's also nice not having to carry around tampons and having all that waste in the trash can.

LOL, I do the same thing. It's not completely rational but I always worry some pee will get on the string and then it's just totally tainted and I have to change it. Even if I tuck the string, it just bothers me so I have to change it every damn time I go to the bathroom.
I use sponges for escorting and camming but I don't really care for them. They're comfortable enough but a pain in the ass to get out sometimes.
