Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Has anyone found that using organic pads or tampons reduced their pain? I usually use tampax pearl and haven't had any problems but sometimes i need to wear panty liners for spotting and those always irritate me no matter what. I have a feeling organic would help with the itching but i was also wondering whether using plastic tampons could contribute to vulvar pain. Thanks! Quote
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Hi, i only use tampons but i have switched to organic and although not a huge difference, i do notice a difference. I buy them at whole foods and they are not too badly priced. Good luck!!

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Starrydust,Yes, I have. I used Always for years and didn't realize they were actually 'contributing' to my pain until I switched to Kotex and noticed a difference. I also use Natracare & Seventh Generation. I think it's just like most things, trial and error. Take Care,Chelle Quote
