Should I use Tampons? I'm not really comfortable using them but should I and what brand?

Question

I'm trying out for volleyball this fall and would like to know the type of tampon i should use or if I can stick with pads, I have never used a tampon before and would like to know which would be better in this situation. thanks sooo much

Answer 1

Try tampons i was scared at first to use them but there great...i use tampax pearl...

Answer 2

Two suggestions -- 1) go to walmart.com and request the samples of tampons they offer right now -- or brand homepages -- that way you can try them all without being stuck with a whole box you don't like.  (make up a name & mail to your address they don't care.)

2) insertion is always the scary part, but think about removal.  Some brands have silky strings which makes removal really hard because you can't get a good hold on it.  Plus after playing volleyball . . .

I like ob.  Gotta be REAL comfortable with yourself because no-applicator means you stick your finger all the way in.  But they are super easy to insert (because you have more control) and the string is very long and looped so you don't have to dig for it.

Answer 3

Look, if you have never used one before, you have to start sometime right?

Well maybe get the "skinny" sized ones and the ones to suit your flow.

Libra, is good.

Any really.

Just i wouldnt get homebrand.

:]

Answer 4

hey hey hey. im just now startin to use them too so dont feel weird about it. if your lookin for something that is small... try o.b, except that they dont have an applicator. THE VERRY BEST KIND TO USE: playtex sport gentle glide with applicator. they go right in and they make life alot easier.. good luck and i hope this helped.

Answer 5

my favorite are playtex sport

they are extremely comfortable

and i like them so much better than tampax pearl

i also think they give better protection because they open all around and the tampax only open widthwise

and i think tampons would be better to use for volleyball because you have to wear those tight tiny spandex shorts and you may be able to see the outline of the pad

and you may want to try playtex gentle glide for you first time because they have a slender tampon which would be good to start out with and i don't think they make a slender one in playtex sport

but which ever one you try, go with the playtex brand

***and there is no such thing as platex sport gentle glide!!!!!!

those are two different tampons!

there is playtex sport and platex gentle glide

but there is no playtex sport gentle glide!!!!

Answer 6

tampons are very bad for you. known also to cause cancer. Use a thin pad or pull ups if your flow is to bad. Also easy to forget them.
