Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Wow, I totally sympathize with your plight. On my worse days, I would bleed through a ultra-super tampon on to my backup pad every 20 minutes. I would have to plan when I left from work so it would be right after I changed a tampon--the commute is 45 minutes so I just had to deal with whatever happened by the time I got home. Isn't it just a terrible thing to have to be cluttering your brain with your next " appointment " with the bathroom? I couldn't even consider the opera tickets a person was going to give me that had no intermission! Sorry to say, though, I never noticed any difference in brands of tampons.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 pardon my equally graphic answer but, I just put two or three tampons at a time up me, kind of like riding on a hard saddle. lol. but it beats looking like something out of a slasher film. that has been my solution. There were a few times when I couldn't leave the house. Vitex so far has seemed to help, I'm crossing my fingers though. gg chuckfeeders@... wrote: > I have been reading much lately about fibroids growing back after > myo.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 maybe we could market a super huge tampon, sort of like as big as one of those...er marital aids...dildos....like a giant one....it could have a catchy title, like... " when those little ones won't do " ....hahahahaha. I'm sorry, it is serious but I think there might be somehing there to market for people who can't even leave home without a psycho hemmorhage. The brand could be, " the tampon for those who size does make a difference! " My distinct apologies, but it is frustrating to not be able to go out of your house at times. gg Sydney Lagier wrote: > Wow, I totally sympathize with your plight.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Ok - sensitive types can leave the room now.... Yes - they could be called Pontoons (heehee) But seriously folks - remember that old brand " Rely " ? I guess they were a little TOO effective in holding menstrual flow because some women kept them in too long and developed toxic shock - hence the prolific warnings in tampon packages these days. Perhaps some kind of Prescription Tampon for those of us who REALLY need them??? I change a super plus about every half hour during my heaviest time, but that usually only lasts half a day or so then it tapers off to every two hours, three, etc. Usually have two nights of four bathroom trips. I just can't get used to pads - feel like soggy diapers clinging to my crotch, so an Ultra Extra Large Super Duper Plus Pontoon would suit me just fine! Cori Re: Two questions maybe we could market a super huge tampon, sort of like as big as one of those...er marital aids...dildos....like a giant one....it could have a catchy title, like...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hahaha. Pontoons, I like that. Yes, the pads are really the pits. Maybe they could be marketed especially for women like us. I will call a manufacurer tomorrow and give them the idea. My big deal is the chlorine and dioxin they use to make the tampon white. It would be more healthful for us women if the freaking tampon were brown so we would not be directly exposed to the dioxin and chlorine.gg Cori Robison wrote: > Ok - sensitive types can leave the room now.... > > Yes - they could be called Pontoons (heehee) > > But seriously folks - remember that old brand " Rely " ?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Thanks! I needed a laugh. Maybe they could call it " Super Industrial Strenth " . Seriously, though, the expandable tampons like Playtex seem to give me more corking action than the narrow ones. At least for awhile.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Actually there was this " thing " on the market that I tried and then pitched.I can't even remember the name-but it was shaped like a bowl and was made of a sort of rubber.The idea was to sqeeze this thing to insert it.Well I tried that and it kept popping out(stop all that laughing out there) Finally I threw it away and I have not seen it re-appear in the pharmacy so I guess, it went off the market.
