I have been really nervous about using tampons since diagnosis. I just looked at my cycle and it seems I will be on vacation when I am on my next cycle. I cannot really avoid the water too much since I have 3 young children. Does anyone here use tampons without issue? If so, which ones? Thank you.

    Hi i use tampons now and again in my cycle, i normally alternate between them and pads to prevent irritation. I find ones that have an aplicator dont hurt me as much, also tampons that have a skirt at the bottom irritate me. I use tampax, but thinking of changing to lil lets as i dont think they have a skirt on them

      Thank you! I have been able to avoid them thus far. I am praying for no irritation from them.

    I use tampons as I find pads irritating. I agree with buying the ones without skirts as I also find those irritating. It's getting harder to find them. Go for non branded supermarket own brands
