Tampon and sports question..?

Question

the tampons specifically made for sports seem not to fit right or something for me. they're uncomfortable. but ive heard that you need to wear a sport tampon when your excersizing. i run cross country. so will a regular tampon stay in for 6 or 7 miles? a pad sure wont stay in place.

Answer 1

yea, you dont have to wear special ones.

they just do that so they make more money.

but yes, a regular one will stay in  

Answer 2

Having 'special' tampons is just the manufacturers trying to make more money.

You don't need a special sort-once they're in they really can't just come out. Just use normal ones.

Answer 3

Actually I'm a cross-country runner and I use pads all the time on my runs. I personally think it's more comfortable. Tampons aren't supposed to be used for that long. There are supposed to be used for 2-4 hrs. Try wearing a pad with a tight spandex shorts. It works 4 me.
