Which Tampons are right for a Big Girl.?!


Question:

Which Tampons are right for a Big Girl.?

This is so embarssing. I'm 17 and a High School Senior. I'm a Big Girl, I weigh 315lbs but I don't look like it. I started my period at age 9. From that age until now, I've been wearing Pads and Pantyliners. I'm sick of having to deal with Pads. I hate the yucky feeling.

I hate to ask this but, which brand of tampons are right for overwight girls? I have never ever tried a tampon. I had always bought them but when I came on, I was to scared to try it so I went to pads. My periods start out Heavy for a few days then gets back to normal. Is is good to wear a Pany Liner on your heavy days?


Answers:

i dont think your weight has anything to do with your vagina size lol. if your periods are heavy then use the "super" or "plus" tampons...tampax pearl are the BEST and i get the yellow ones for meduim flow, but you can get the green package ones for heavy flow...and yes, pads DO feel yucky, but i wear one at night. so the brands i recommend are tampax pearl and playtex sport. they are the best ive ever used...they go in easy and they dont feel uncomfortable and u cant even feel it in there...don't worry, they're NOT hard to use at all. ive been using them since i was 12 and i started my period when i was 11...wow 9 is young lol. but make sure u get the plastic applicator and not cardboard b/c that can hurt..and on my heavier days, like the first 2 days, i wear a panty liner so i dont get any leaks, ya know? panty liners are great, you cant tell you're wearing one and it doesnt feel like a diaper or anything. when you slow down after about 2-3 days then you can wear a lighter absorbancy tampon. always use the lowest absorbancy that u need, to protect u from TSS. never wear them at night!!! and change it every 4-6 hours, or sooner if needed...oh & try getting the tampax multi pack with the purple, yellow, and green colored ones. and just use them all and see what works best for you! good luck, and dont be nervous!

wow my answer is LONG sorry =)
