I definately recommend pads for your menstrual cycle. Pads can be worn during light days, heavy days, and even simple discharge days. Tampons can only be worn during your actual period or your risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome increases dramatically. You also do not need to worry about waking in the middle of the night to change your pad if you're not a heavy bleeder; however, with tampons they MUST be changed every 6 - 8 hours or bacteria will multiply so quickly it can cause some severe problems.

Symptoms of TSS include high fever, vomiting or diarrhea, severe muscle aches, a feeling of extreme weakness or dizziness, and a rash that looks like a sunburn. If you ever have these symptoms while wearing a tampon, remove it and tell an adult immediately. Have someone take you to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible.

When I tried tampons I ended up passing out over and over again within seconds of insertion. My body was obviously screaming at me that something was terribly wrong although nothing was painful at all. I often wonder if some other women have experienced this and thought it was normal because it definately is not okay to experience. I really believe it dramatically shocked my body and that's why I passed out.

My first gynecologist I had actually told me that tampons increased my risk of cancer. My mother had cancer before in her vagina area and was told to NEVER wear tampons again because if there is any cancerous cells in there it will irritate them and cause them to begin multiplying if they aren't already. My mother was also told to tell her female children this too since we are higher risk for that sort of cancer. I asked my first gynecologist about it and he definately recommended not using tampons because of the increase cancer risk.

The longer you leave a tampon in, the higher risk of TSS you are taking. Bacteria begin to grow in the warm, moist environment of your vagina. These bacteria can grow within the tampon, enter the body from inside the vagina, then invade the bloodstream, releasing toxins that can cause a very severe, life-threatening illness.

Tampons also pull a bit of your vaginal lining out when being removed, believe it or not. This is why many women who use tampons aren't as sensitive as they once were inside of their vaginas and why many tampon-users suffer from yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. The tampon also can leave particles behind from it, causing bacteria and yeast to grow on it. Another case is that women are frequently needing to purchase personal lubricant for sexual activities because their bodies have stopped producing enough natural lubricant to engage in such activities without problems.

The ripping of your flesh and leaving particles of material behind cannot be avoided when using tampons and could very well be why you experience discomfort with removal. I would be big money on that being the reason it is painful to remove tampons from your body. This will not go away until you become somewhat desensitized down there--and what woman truly wants that?! Please consider switching products for your own health and safety.

Here are some good websites about why women should stay clear of tampon-usage. Theses sites are pretty darn interesting:

Because it's still dry. Either leave the tampon in longer or get a lower absorbancy.

*Your tampon is partially dry which means it's still stiff. You don't have enough blood soaked up into your tampon to make it come out slippery. You might want to wait another hour and then take it out.*

Okay. Imagine making a tight fist with your hand. Imagine you've got a dry tampon in there - while you're squeezing your hand together, pull the tampon out.

Got that?

Now, imagine your hand is full of slippery jelly. See how much easier it is to get the tampon out?

It's the same thing.

hun that is not a stupid question and the answer is the tampon is still stiff and needs blood to slide right out of you. So of course it will hurt more and i hope i helped.

xhunniebunchx answered Friday August 13 2004, 2:13 pm:
no thats not stupid at all. its because part of the tampon in still dry and that hurts when it rubs against the sides when u r taking it out and there's no moisture to help move it out more smoothly. if this happens a lot maybe u should consider using a lighter tampon or a pad on ur light days! home i helped!

babeliciousbooty9 answered Friday August 13 2004, 2:11 pm:
because when u take out a tam[pon when it is full of blood it is easier to take out. the reasoning for that is because it is wet and moist and so is the vaginal area, therefor it is easy to take out. When the tampon is dry, you're vaginal area is also fdry b/c it had nothing to absrb before so it absorbs the vaginal fluids lining you vagina, and it pulls on the tissues and sometimes could tare them. if you're tampon is dry and has been in for over 8 hours you could get toxic shock syndrome, so a way to get the tampon out to make it easier if it is dry is to take it out while you are peeing. hope i helped!!!

Because it's dry and not as wet as it would be if it had soaked up enough blood. Even if it is dry, it shouldn't really hurt that much to remove the tampon =/
