    Default Strange Tampon Thing...

    When I use tampons, they always apparently fill up pretty quickly and I start leaking.

    The thing is, when I take them out... the blood is only ever absorbed into one side. I've tried every brand on the market, and it's always the same. After a few hours I can take my tampon out and one half of the tampon will be red and the other side will be white and entirely spotless.

    I'm just wondering if this happens to anyone else, or if anyone knows why it might do this. It's not really a huge problem, but it's happened for as long as I can remember and I'm curious about it.

    Happens to me sometimes too. Not all the time, but often enough. I find it anoying b/c the "clean side" is still kinda dry and tugs uncomfortably when I remove it. I'm actually thinking about trying the mooncup or deva cup i read about on another thread recently. Hopefully I won't have to worry about it anymore.

    That happens to me sometimes too...but not all the time. I'm interested in the cup thingy too...I just think it would be a pain and a mess to get out.

    I get this a lot too. I tried the Instead cup and couldnt figure out how to work the damn thing. So I just deal.

    Ahhh, the same thing happens to me. It does hurt like asdlfjkwerou when I have to pull it out...ouchy. I only use tampons when I know I'm going to be spending the day out completing errands.

    I use the Instead softcups when I'm working. They're a pain in the ass until you get used to them. Okay, I lied. They're still a pain in the ass. If you're uncomfortable with getting some (or all of the) blood on your hands then don't do it.

    When I first started using them, I kept putting it in wrong which meant I had to take it out and try again until I got it in there right. Taking it out can be gross. The first time I took it out...I was crying up a storm and was wanting to go to the hospital because I thought it was stuck. I calmed down and half an hour later, I finally was able to..give birth..to the cup..yeah..

    These days, I don't care how messy it gets because I just want it out of me. Reach on in there, hook your finger under it, push down with your muscles, slowly pull it out with your finger while pushing it out...big mess for me most of the time but oh well. It doesn't really hurt like tampons do sometimes.

    Happens here too ! I use smaller tampons or pads when I'm at home and use supers when I'm doing Bikram (the heat makes me bleed like crazy).

    ^^ how the hell do you get them in?? I tried folding it, but then it wouldnt unfold inside me. I dont care about the blood on my hands..I'm not even a little squeamish..but I literally couldnt make them fit. I figured I was just too tight(I've been accused of that many times!)...but I may just be THAT blonde that I cant figure it out!
    And how long can they stay in? I wouldnt want to have to change it at work since it's messy...but if I work 8,10,12 hours...is that ok?

    With the insteads you just pinch it long side in half... angle it towards up and back when sliding it in

    it literally slides into place.

    To get it out you put your finger up there to hook it under the rim..squat OVER THE TOILET and bear down like you are having a BM then slowly pull it out

    I use to use them havent in a long time

    I have a tilted cervix like a really bad tilted cervix and it worked fine for me.

    I think it's all about placement

    I thought that too because I had the same problem, it turned out I was putting the tampon in wrong.
    You have to spread your legs wide and squat down or put one foot on the toilet/bathtub and squat down,then take your fingers spread your lips, put the top of the applicator right at the opening or slide the tip in and insert the tampon..Believe me it took some practice to get it right..It will get easier the more you do it.

    I've left one in overnight but,I don't recommend doing that. I had just forgotten I had it in. I usually change my tampon every 4-6 hours.Make sure to use the size thats right for your flow that day.

    I totally thought about this thread yesterday when I was working, the half full tampon thing happened to me. then another strange tampon thing happened. I was trying to get a tampon out that had the string cut and it was kind of difficult...when I finally got it out it had somehow folded itself in half while inside. Apparently my vagina was trying to do like when you take the stem of a cherry and tie it in a knot in your mouth...

    hmm... well, at least it's a cool party trick.

    ....at some kind of really perverted party.
