    Default tampon question

    hi guys.just wondering what you think?
    i wear a tampon every day at work,i think its hygenic eg doing pole work and for any slight discharge on my underwear.does anyone else do this and is it really safe to be wearing one 4 out of 7 days a week?

    How long have you been doing it? Have you had any problems like infections? I prefer to wear tampons at work, but I am trying to stop getting vaginal infections so I am cutting down on my tampon use, only using one if I notice a discharge. But if you've been doing this for awhile and haven't gotten any infections, I think it would be OK.

    I wear my keeper. I like it better because it doesn't dry me out. I don't think it would work in a nude club though.

    I was just reading the tampon thread in ladies only. It seems there may be a risk with using tampons that are bleached or contain dioxin (possible cancer connection). Maybe organic tampons would be better. I am intrigued by the keeper, but I don't think it would help with discharge that is produced by glands in your vagina, as this just collects fluid that comes out of your cervix. Abadvi, why couldn't you use it in a nude club? Can you see it?

    While the risk of toxic shock syndrome is pretty rare, you increase your chances by using tampons while not on your period. Even when you ARE on your period, they suggest using a tampon size smaller than whats needed. (super heavy flow, use medium) etc...
    I would be more careful cause ya never know.... the rayon and other fibers in there can cause TSS and possibly other infections because its always absorbed; no chance to breathe. (common occurance for yeast infections)
    Oh and I forgot to add, because theres no "breathing" from your cookie, ya can get other sorts of infections. I forgot where I got this, but I believe it was something about not letting th good bacteria take its course? I'll post the link if I find it.
    Just be careful!

    Ladies to answer you question about working at a nude club all you do is cut down your string and tuck it right in. No one will ever know you are on your period. Just make sure you change it every couple of hours so you will stay fresh and clean!

    I can't imagine using tampons when I am not on my period. I don't like to mess with my bodies natural cleaning and maintenance process.

    I drink plenty of water and take vitamins and eat healthy so I don't have a lot of problems down under.

    I have always been told to not use tampons unless you are on your period. I can't believe you have gotten away with it so long. Doesn't it leave you dried out or with itching or something?

    I agree with MotherDaisy on this, I don't mess with my bodys natural things, it knows better then I do about most stuff.

    I never use tampons. I use instead (softcup.com) when I am on my period and when I am not I just wipe with some toilet paper if I feel too gooy (which happens more when I am around my husband then at the club). I dance nude like this too. It just means that I have to rinse out my thong everyday or prefrably wash it. The guys like to see you like that. As for the pole, you really shouldnt be that close to the pole anyway.

    The keeper is similar to instead, but according to people on this board the keeper is better. I have yet to try it and I like instead so I might just stick with it. Instead also has a trial pack on thier site which sounds good if you want to try it out.

    The keeper would show if you worked in a "spread" club, I think. As for not protecting you well, where do you think most of that stuff comes from? It's called "cervical mucus" for a reason. (ew, hate that term.)

    however there is also the vesiblue glands, which they have recently found is where the lube type mucus comes from. but they are really only active when you are horny, or at least have been physicly stimulated, but like pfisner (sp?) found out females have little connecting physicly aroused with actually (mentaly) aroused.

    "THE GREATER VESTIBULAR GLANDS
    The greater vestibular glands lie in the labia majora, one on either side at the commencement of the vagina. They are about the size of a small pea and are covered with dense fibrous tissue. There are ducts which lead from the glands and open into the vestibule. The glands secrete mucus which lubricate the vulva. This mucus secretion supplement lubrication during sexual intercourse."

    Why would you wear a tampon when not on your period, that just seems wrong. If you are nude sliding on a pole, wipe it down when you are done I guess....that just creeps me out, wetness is a good thing!

    Well I actually was starting to not wear tampons at work anymore.
    But I had a situation in a booth.
    A customer got myself and my girlfriend and she was dancing for both of us. I guess I became a little turned on because after i got up and started dancing I found I was wet. After i finished dancing I noticed a couple of marks on his pants!! LOL pretty embarased. Oh well.
    So now I am back to wearing tampons.

    Can you bring a little towel to sit on instead? Meow to your wetness though, that = h0t!

    I have a similar problem. I have ALWAYS had a very heavy discharge. I'm always, well, for the lack of a better term, "gooey" down there. It leaves a nasty white-ish/yellow-ish residue on my panties and it smells so I have always used a pantyliner 24/7 since I was 14. I've asked a couple of doctors and they said that there was nothing wrong (as in a yeast infection). I just think it is soooo gross. I wouldn't be able to go without my pantyliners because I can just change those without having to change my damn underwear every two seconds!!! I feel so weird about it though. Anybody else have this problem? If so, how do you deal with it?!

    Gurrrrll....its natural....ask any horny man or woman...will sop that shit right up???

    what do you ladies expect? The vagina is self-cleaning and self-lubricating....what truly successful stripper is truly afraid of their pusoise juice? Its a GOOD thing!

    I am gooey a lot. I just make sure to wipe really well when I go to the bathroom. I like being gooey, it makes sex good. dry is BAD! (i once did something I shouldnt have and drank after haveing a prescription pill and became very dry in the sex that followed... it sucked, i was in pain). I get a light yellow thing on my panties too, but only if I wear them, if I don't my pants don't press aginst my vulva like panties do and I don't get anything on them. I also like how it smells because it smells like SEX. yum.

    Your vagina is made to clean itself. If you wear a tampon you prevent the vagina from doing that properly. Besides, some of the stuff your vagina is attempting to clean out is being kept in with the tampon. If you are not on your period, then I would strongly suggest that you do not use the tampons. Why does everybody think that the fluids their bodies make are gross? They are natural...let them be...and be happy with them...

    Instead of a tampon maybe try cotton balls-- They are less compact and less likely to cause TSS. If you don'tlike the consistency & smell of your secretions maybe try a few extra bottles of H20.............. But men love the smell of a woman, even though we may not like it. If you haven't gotten any complaints it probably is o.k.

    Ladies:

    A girl I work with just had very severe cramping etc.. high fever and went to the doctor thinking she was getting sick only to find out that she was having Toxic Shock. He advised her NOT to wear tampons unless she was bleeding.. I am not an expert by any means on this, but decided not to wear tampons anymore.. however, I am like Raven, I get wet sometimes, and I worry about leaving marks.. I am always wet though.. and its not because I am turned on. I am getting enough sex. So... I guess I need to read up more on the Toxic Shock Syndrome to get more of an idea.

    Yeah, this is a hard one. I KNOW it is bad to wear tampons all the time and I KNOW this probably contributes to my getting frequent infections, BUT what's a girl to do? It's not that it is gross, but it is unsanitary. Diseases can be spread though vaginal fluid. And I don't want to take off black panties under a black light only to be displaying my glowing "skid marks" to the crowd.

    I never wear tampons. They're yucky and scary and toxic things that I don't want shoved up my twat. I don't have a problem with my natural juices, but I guess if I did I would wear a sea sponge at work - it absorbes things, but it still breathes.
