That way I save a little money on tampons.

So, I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating right now. I'm having really bad cramps! This doesn't happen often, but every now and then I'll get cramps when ovulating, and it's actually worse than my period cramps sometimes. Any of you experience that as well?

It's not too bad to sleep with tampons in. I do that as well because I get grossed out by pads and the mess... I know I don't need to go into detail. Really, what it is is that they don't want you to leave one in for DAYS because that can cause infection. I mean, who knows why anyone would want to do such a thing, but some people are pretty stupid.

I'm still a little scared about wearing my tampon to bed so I opt for an overnight pad. Pads are bulky and uncomfortable compared to tampons, but I feel safer. The TSS thing worries me. Well, my period is approaching so here we go again!

I'm supposed to get mine soon, but guess what.. I'll be going on a trip soon, so I believe my period will arrive a little later and begin during my trip. I cannot go on vacation without a period it seems... it's so rare lol

I'll make you wear "off topic" caps and sit in a corner.. where you all can continue discussing tampons.

Maybe I should move some of this conversation to the period thread then? lol

Okay, moved.. =p Now it makes more sense.

I'll blame it on my period! OK, my period isn't due for 2 more weeks, but at least I got back on the topic.

i used to always use tampax compact the yellow ones, but they became hard to find in shops, so i had to buy the ones with the cardboard applicator and even though the actual tampon is the same size as compact it used to hurt my tmmy the whole time, i was talking to a girl in a shop and she said the same, she told me to go to a supermarket and buy their own make non applicator ones, i never liked the thought of a non applicator tampon but now ive used them i wont use tampax again unless i see compact ones on offer haha

Did you ever totally skip one?

I get nausea usually the week leading up to my period, so that sucks..

The only time I have ever skipped periods entirely was when my thyroid levels were extremely out of range for an extended period of time. I went months without a period when I was an older teen. Not good.. lol

I don't skip periods anymore, but they can begin early or late every now and then, but not very early or late, only like a few days at most.
