Not severe discomfort, btu I have had discomfort with them a few times. I live with it though, because wearing a pad and chasing a toddler sucks rocks :) Ok, that probably wasn't a good answer, but umm...I just wanted to answer your question anyways Hope you're feeling better today.

Hai. If your tampon is causing you discomfort, it might be because you need a bit of lube to help insert...tampons are (rudely, heh) pretty rough cardbaord and cotton contraptions. Try a bit of Aqualube or Vaseline or something and that might stop the 'pon from scratching. OR if one gets aligned wrong and you can feel it, take that one out and try again! Don't live in pain, grrl.

You also might consider wearing a pad at night instead of a 'pon, it's good to vary the two to save worries on Toxic Shock Syndrome, which can occur if you leave pons in for too long. Try this and you might get less internally irritiated too!

I cant just wear a pad.. I am a VERY heavy bleeder and have been known to bleed through a pad within ten to fifteen minutes on some of my heaviest days... So I always wear a tampon and a pad and go to the bathroom about every hour to change.. Gee, I love being a woman
