Seriously, quit typing in all caps. It’s basically shouting, and nobody likes being yelled at on a forum or anywhere else on the internet. 🙂

So, has anyone ever experienced a tampon turning their skin blue or causing irritation that lingers—like, almost a full day later? I was using them for therapeutic reasons rather than during my period, if that makes sense. I have an appointment at the clinic this coming Tuesday, but in the meantime, does anyone have advice if the discomfort doesn't subside? 😢

I’m getting spammed on my work email, which is just incredibly transparent and cheap.
Since when did they get the right to address me by my last name like that?? I might have tolerated a standard newsletter where they actually introduce themselves, but this is just bottom-of-the-barrel behavior.
Here is the exact copy-paste of the email I received. Disgusting.
Bokić!
I already sent you that link for www.naturella.com and their allergy relief product.
They’re running a promotion for customers now, so I managed to snag a discount code.
Go ahead and order something from them; feel free to use it.
My allergies completely cleared up thanks to their toner, so I'm all set.
The promo code is 2525—just type it into the designated box when you check out.

Amanda Alvarez35 said:I think the Naturella line is great.> Even though some people complain about the added scent, I honestly don't even notice it. For me, the most important thing is that they're thin and have good coverage.
Libresse Natural pads are comfortable too, just a little too bulky for my liking...
I agree. Personally, I really only use them at night and stick to tampons during the day. Any kind of pad feels uncomfortable to me, and I don't think I could ever go back to wearing them during the day if I didn't have to. 😵 ☕

I’ve been looking into switching to more natural options lately, and even after scrolling through every single thread here, nobody seems to be talking about actual cotton pads...
Just because a package says they have a "cotton feel" or a "natural layer" doesn't mean they actually contain real cotton.🙄
I used to swear by Always, until I realized their "Naturella" line is basically just a sub-brand using the same old gel stuff—like that chamomile version or whatever.🙄
So, has anyone actually found something better than that?

So, there are actually these sewing machines out there that can whip up pads in three different sizes—you know, like your standard daily ones, the heavier menstrual ones, and the big overnight versions—and you can pick whatever fabric feels best, whether it’s soft cotton, bamboo, or even cozy velour...
The patterns they use are honestly gorgeous, and the pads themselves end up being super comfy to wear.
They even make these little zippered pouches specifically for carrying used pads around, and yep, you get to pick a cute pattern for those too!
Plus, if you're looking for more info, there's this Facebook group where people share tons of great advice about pelvic health and recommend specific makers who do amazing work.

In my personal experience, the natura femina pads are consistently superior, whether I am using the nighttime variety or their everyday options.👍

So, does anyone actually have experience using those probiotic tampons? Like, is there any point to them, or is it just a total waste of cash? And where can I even find them here in the States?

Anyone else struggling to use tampons because of vaginal dryness? Even during the first or second day when the flow is heaviest, I can't get one in without causing massive irritation everywhere.
Is this a sign of an infection, or am I just not built for tampons?

Maybe try a smaller size? Honestly, you could try putting a little bit of lube on there first. Or look into those ones with probiotics. For me, they slide in way easier and don't dry me out nearly as much as the standard ones.
I have this friend who just can't do tampons at all—she says it hurts and the whole sensation is just super uncomfortable...

Susan Adams66 said:I have a friend who just can't deal with tampons—she says they’re painful and just feel uncomfortable overall...
Honestly, I had this exact same issue from day one. I could never quite make them work, and there were times when I was just so frustrated I felt like I might snap if I couldn't find a solution. 🙄
It always felt irritating—almost like a chafing sensation—and I kept thinking maybe I just wasn't inserting them right, or perhaps it was just my body being sensitive during certain times of the month, but I simply couldn't avoid that irritation. Eventually, I realized it just wasn't worth the struggle.

Where can I order some?🤔

Oh, you have plenty of options available now. Personally, I've collected these:

I've been collecting them for at least three years now... though most of the time they just sit in my closet, as I rarely actually wear them. 🤣 😵
There is even a dedicated thread for them right here on this forum: http://www.forum.us/showthread.php?t=433459
