When I get my period, the blood has lots of clots and clumps. So these just slide past the tampon and cause a leak. The menstrual cups aren't working for me right now. What tampons actually absorb the clumps and clots?
What else would you suggest? Like what are the best tampons?
Additional info, added Sunday January 21 2007, 9:25 pm: Also, this makes taking them very painful to take out because they are dry. Even though it's been leaking out all day!.

Its a normal size though. these ones dont have a push-up, i know gross. but they absorb clums. They have this opening on the front. you dont see it, but after you pull it out, it gathers those clumps on the top of it, and so, thats how the clumps cant slide off.

If there is ever pain taking menstrual products out you ought to tell another adult female and stop using the product all together. My advice is to visit your pharmacy and find a female pharmacist to talk to about your problem and wanting to avoid embarassing leaks.
They will understand (even if you think it's embarassing) how you feel and can recommend a solution. I would also ask your classmates/friends what tampons they use. I don't know if you can schedule an appointment to see/talk with a gynaecologist about this but it may help as they know what cups, tampons, pads their patients think work the best.
