I empathize with this, and this is probably TMI, (though you started it) but how do you feel it with a tampon? I have a heavy flow and don't feel it at all.

DA

Or menstrual cup? But if it's blood that's part of the issue, from my understanding menstrual cups kinda require you to get comfortable and used to your body and your blood.

Yeah, I’m in love with my menstrual cup and can happily talk about all the reasons why, but it definitely requires being comfortable with both your body and your blood.

I wish I could use tampons, but I can’t stand the feeling of having something inside there. I can’t even get one in, because I immediately balk at the sensation.

I was like this for many many years and now I wish to God I had sucked it up and figured it out when I was younger because they are AMAZING. It took an ill-timed beach vacation to make me see the light. If you can still feel it once it's in, it's just not in far enough. That's my experience, anyway.

If you can feel it that usually means you've inserted it wrong. You shouldn't be able to feel it at all once it's in.

If it's just tampon use you're having issues with, it may be incorrect use as others mentioned. But this (could not physically get one in, with the add-on of sheer discomfort and frustration) plus other reasons were how I ended up getting referred to a pelvic floor therapist; dilator therapy ended up helping immensely with tampons.

If you drink, take a couple shots before and try to relax. If your muscles are clenched it can feel especially unpleasant. It helped when I told myself “people much dumber than me have been able to figure this out, so I can too.” Also make sure you are buying the smallest size possible and a plastic applicator (no cardboard).

OP tried the ring?

Use a tiny bit of lube on the top of the tampon to get it in, not kidding. The tampon should go all the way in til it hits the cervix practically. If you insert it that way, you will never feel it.

Also, I had a friend with horrific endometriosis and she got cured by the Ring, which is a birth control device that literally stops your period for months on end if you want. You insert it and remove it yourself.

"If you’re using NuvaRing, you can choose to get a period every month, or you can skip it — it’s totally up to you."

Obviously, I'm not a doctor, but talk to your gyno about this if you think it would help.

I wondered this also. Once I got used to pads, the feeling stopped bothering me, but I still prefer tampons, which feel like nothing at all.

(Anonymous) 2022-01-16 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not the OP and don't have their same period issues, but I never got into using tampons because if anyone could just forget about having one in long enough to end up with toxic shock syndrome, it would be me.

(Anonymous) 2022-01-16 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Tbh I always assume the people who leave their tampon in for too long do so not out fo forgetfulness but deliberately. Tampons have strings. You see it dangling between your legs the next time you use the toilet as an automatic reminder. How dehydrated does someone have to be to not go to the bathroom at least every 8 hours?

Now, my cup, that I need to make a conscious effort to remember at the end of my period, once the bleeding and other symptoms have eased up.
