Is it just me?

So I had my lap on Wednesday and of course AF shows up 2 days later .  And because of the surgery, I can't use tampons so I'm stuck with pads.  And they completely suck!  I don't know how people use them every month.  It would drive me crazy!

nope it is not just you I feel the same way.

The times I've had to use them lately makes me feel like a teenager all over again.  I was so glad once I got to the point where I started using tampons.  I'm not sure my Mom was ever much of a tampon user so I don't think I started using them until college when I started buying my own products.

I am in the same boat...It it horrible...I feel like I have a cotton surf board between my legs...also...I have a complete fear that it is going off to one side in my undies...making one butt cheek look bigger than the other. LOL
(You all have seen it and laughed a little on the inside..you know it.)

I hate pads! I was so glad the bleeding from my D & C stopped pretty quickly (thanks to good meds to stiffen up my uterus walls). It was awful!

I HATE pads! I had to wear one after my surgery. They are so gross and uncomfortable.?

I guess I'm weird... I can't use tampons.  They hurt when I take them out, always have, so I stopped using them.  I guess I just got used to the pads, they don't bother me.

I'm with you. I hate pads. I always feel like everyone knows you're wearing one. I had to use them after my D&C and it sucked.

Hate them here too.  Feels like I'm straddling a 2x4 and everyone knows it.  A friend of mine used to say that the invention of the tampon was "better than sliced bread."  Yeah.... a poet she was not.
