who has used playtex sport tampons?

I don't know but the only difference is that they have a better grip for when you insert it and that it's stronger (like SUPER tampons but not as big).\n\nhttp://www.playtexsport.com/

Remarkably no.  I've seen and heard others' chafe stories, and they sound most unpleasant, but I've never had to go for the Vaseline sticks during races myself.  I consider myself fortunate.

WOW....i just went to the website and never heard of this. I also have never seen it at any stores. I think many women don't use it because they haven't heard of it yet. I went throught the entire website and find "Instead" to be very interesting. I put in a order and will try it. Thx so much for this info because I am so tired of pads and tampoons. I hope this becomes a life saver.

You're guess is as good as mine. Why wear a pad at all when you can wear a tampon instead?

Yes.  I used them for over 10 years, with no damage to my hymen.  Eventually it broke, but not from a tampon!\n\n"All the tampons are fine-they don't go up high enough to break your hymen, they are too short"\n\nThis is incorrect; the hymen is way down at the opening of the vagina, and the tampon must sit inside the vagina.

try using the slender or the lite ones sometimes they have ones for teens.  make sure you use ones that have a plastic applicator.  I find that only tampax compacts work for me but the problem with those are that you can't buy the lites separately they only come in the multipak.\ntampax pearls are okay too, they too have the plastic applicator. look at the package insert for instructions, they also have diagrams too, that would be the most help\ndefinitely do NOT keep trying and trying... just make sure you get it in far enough or else you'll still feel it\nif you keep trying it will begin to get dry in there and feel really painful\nif you've done it wrong, take it out and put a pad on and try again later.\ndon't try it when you're not on your period, it really helps if you try it when your flow is heavier\nif you're having difficulties, make sure you're relaxed and you can even put a bit of lubricant on the tampon if necessary \nI'd get the tampax compact multi-pak and start out by using the lites and then try the regular, discard the supers though (that's what I do all the time, well not throw them out, just give it to a friend or something).  I've had a lot of discomfort trying out different tampons too.  You just have to find the right one for you.

I was always afraid to use tampons too.\nBut now that I do use them I can not imagine ever using pads again.\n\nThere is instructions on the box. Just read them and follow them. Remember they wouldnt sell as many as they do if they were as dangerous as it sounds like they are.\n\nThe chances of one getting stuck is slim to none. And if nothing else remember they have a string!!! As long as that is hanging out there is no problem.\n\nStart with a small size. They make minis and teen sizes. Also make sure you are getting it far enough up...it is uncomfortable if you do not put it up far enough.\nFollow the diagram given it will be ok!

The ads suck... Unless they let you know of a great new concept that you just have to try... Funky coloured wraps on tampons just don't get me enthused for that product... Samples are the best way, especially if you have allergies.  Why buy a full pack if you are just going to have to give 80% of them to your sister.  Many of the magazine ads her in Australia have a free call number to get a sample, so I'd say the magazine ads have more influence than the tv ones.

There's no certain time you can start using them. I only use tampons, I think pads are gross. I've used pads before, but definately not my preference. When just starting out, I use my first two fingers in the shape of a "V" on my left hand to spread everything open down there, then insert the tampon with the right hand. If you're left handed, switch hands. When you first start using them you may feel it once you first insert it, otherwise you won't feel it at all.\n\nI use Tampax with cardboard applicator. But youmay want to start with a plastic, rounded applicator tip. OB tampons are also very good to use, but they take a little more practice because they don't have an applicator. My neices don't like them because you have to physically push the tampon into your vagina with your finger. They think it's gross, but they are so much more convenient because they are so much more smaller. Also, the box they come in is much smaller, therefore, they don't take up as much space in the bathroom; they are also a lot cheaper.\n\nGood Luck!!

a pantyliner...protects on very very light days, sometimes Chic's use them whenever they are not even on a period, depends on how they feel about a lot of moisture in the vaginal area:)  the maxi-pad is a pad...it protects during the period:)  Didn't you learn this in health class?

Already answered this but in 1995 Mark Burnett and the host of survivor said on a VH1 special that they were supplied. This aired many times last year. They also were allowed a doctor, bathrooms as well as, tampons/ kotex.

I have two pieces of advice for you.\n\n1)  Try a different brand/size/type than what you are using.  I used to use Kotex, and they never felt quite right.  I recently switched to Playtex GentleGlide and they are so much more comfortable- I don't even notice that I'm using it!  You may also want to try using a smaller size.  Are you using a cardboard applicator?  I have found that the plastic applicators make more smoother insertion.\n\n2) When you prepare to insert the tampon, try putting one leg up on the toilet seat, or the edge of the bathtub.  For some reason, this position makes the tampon slide in with less resistance.  Once you find a tampon that is more comfortable and a better fit for your body, you may not need this position anymore.\n\nI hope that one or all of these tips will help you!  Good Luck!

Tampax is the commercial name for a brand of tampon.  Tampons are cylinder-shaped object made of cotton and inserted into a womans vagina to collect the menstrual flow so that she will not be encumbered by bulky napkins between her legs.

My sil swears by them, she says they are great and you will never go back. The only thing I am having a problem with is you take it out and pour out your blood and wash it and reinsert it.. To me that is just plain nasty I don't want to pour it out when I am on my period I just want to take the tampon out and flush. So thats the only reason I have NOT tried them. But like I said my sil said there great.

Yes.  I am a lesbian and I use them for lubrication.  My partner has a strap on dick and we put flavored condoms on it and take turns licking it!
