    Default jade and pearl seasponges.

    Hi ladies! I've read the threads on using jade and pearl sea sponges during menstrual cycle. I decided to buy some and bought a 3 pack online. I read the instructions carefully and decided to try them today. The three pack has a large, medium and small size. Since its my second day on my period, my flow is heavy so I tried the large one. I couldn't get it in there for anything! lol instead of clipping it I tried the medium and again nothing. The small one went in after a struggle and laying down on my bed to insert lol. I took it out after 30 min to rinse and couldn't get it back in. Has anyone else had this problem with the sea sponge tampons?? The guide says to use a reusable applicator if you have troubles but i'm not sure where to get one. The small sponge worked well but I don't see a point to use them if I have to tear up my vagina to get it in lol. HELP!!!

    Did you wet it first? I buy the "regular" size (I suppose that would be "medium") & I trim it down even more. I wet it down thoroughly, wring it out, then use silicone lubricant if I'm having trouble. I am really small, so if I can do it, you should be able to. I had a really hard time getting them out the first month, but I realized that it was because I was afraid of getting it stuck, so I wasn't relaxed. Some of the sponges are more dense than others, since they're natural & not perfect. The more dense once I trim back but the more squishy ones I don't trim, as I learned they leak. Don't cut it in half. Just trim around the long part. If it's circular, then trim it until it's oblong.

    Sometimes it takes some getting used to, but I swear it's worth it. I've been using sponges (Jade & Pearl sponges) for over a year, and I'll never wear tampons again. I haven't gotten a single yeast infection since I started wearing them, and I've gotten only one UTI since I started wearing them, even though I used to get UTIs every couple months. Much more healthy, I think, if you're sanitary & careful handling them.

    I love sponges! You gotta get them wet before you insert them though! I find it's easier to insert them if you sumo squat. That way you are able to get it closer to the cervix, especially if you have stubby fingers like I do.

    After using them for one cycle, I went and threw all my tampons away. The reason you tend to get UTI's it that the string is damp and can easily transmit e.coli from your bum to your urethra. I used to get cramps from using tampons, and I hated using them. I never have bleed through with the sponges, and cam do insertion on cam without fear of spotting.

    Love, love, love my sponges!

    Also, you shouldn't have to take it out after only 30 min. On my heaviest day, I change every 2-3 hrs. If yours only last 30 min, then you didn't squeeze enough water out, or you need to go up a size.

    Try sitting on the toilet to insert it. I mean with the lid up, sit on the seat, reach btwn legs. It helps to get in this position. Like I said, the first month it took some getting used to, but I'm glad I didn't give up.

    Edit: We posted at same time, Grace. Same idea abt squatting I have stubby fingers too.

    wet it throughly with water and squeeze out excess water. then after it is wet and squeezed, pinch it up really small into a tiny ball and pop in. push it in a little then with your finger. you can trim them to fit better when wet as well. always get it wet first and squeeze out excess water. it will not go in right if it is dry.

    I have always wanted to try these but I have been scared. Thank you all for explaining how they work. It sounds pretty simple so I am going to give it a shot next month.

    Anyone who wants to ask more specific questions about the sponges but don't want to post in the open, please feel free to PM me.

    Jane, once you try them, you'll probably never want to use tampons again. If you're super squeamish, then it might not be for you. But I don't find it all that gross, especially since I'm all up in my junk anyway. Also, I found it really helpful in learning more about how my body works. It's kind of embarrassing, but I had never felt my cervix before & actually had to ask my doctor about it when I saw him. In taking out sponges, I discovered what I thought was something abnormal, but turned out to be completely normal.

    My husband doesn't even mind me soaking them in a bowl on the bathroom counter. He's so happy that I'm doing something healthy for myself that he puts up with it. (He's somewhat familiar with how bad tampons can be for women. )

    Thank you so much for the responses ladies! I did wet them before I tried to insert them. I balled them up or tried to squish them long and skinny but still had no luck. I will try with a little lube next time. Oh and I took it out after 30 min because I had a very heavy flow and the only one that would fit was the small size which im guessing is for 'light days"... I wanted to make sure I didn't have any leaky accidents during a private lol Even tho for some reason I think some of the guys might like that... yuck lol

    Oh yeah, if you're on cam, then for sure change it often. The "tiny" size is for teens, but I find those to be good on days when I'm expecting my period but it hasn't started yet, or on days when I'm almost done (when I would normally wear a light pantyliner). I don't even use liners anymore. Since the sponges are moist & are less abrasive than dry cotton, you can actually wear one even if you're not really bleeding. It will never be pulled out "dry" like a tampon. Damn, do dry tampons hurt coming out.

    I think maybe you just need to get used to the idea of the sponge & become more comfortable with it, and be confident that it's safe & easy. I found that when my mind was more relaxed about it, so was my body. But yes, a tiny bit of lube should help, or some Calendula oil/salve.

    I keep a sample bottle of lube in my "travel" sponge kit in my purse, along with tea tree oil, an extra sponge, and a plastic bag (in case I'm in a place were I can't rinse it in the sink).
