    Ugh, it used to be tampons.  Something got jacked up up there either during the pregnancy or d&c and now they give me wicked cramps.

    See, this started happening to me after using Tampons for only 4 years or so (so 16?).  I figured it was just my periods getting worse as I got older, but when I just stopped using tampons, it hasn't happened since.  I am pretty sure nothing is wrong, I have had at least 3 paps since then, my vag just doesn't seem to like something up their constantly.

    I use a Diva cup and I love it! I don't see me ever going back to tampons or pads again, I can leave it in up to 12 hrs depending on my flow and not have any problems with leaking. Plus in the long run it saves me tons of money because I spent a lot of money on products beforehand becaue TMI I always have heavy flows.

    I voted SS because I use both, I go back and forth. I didn't use tampons until I was 20 because they freaked me out before that.

    I find it interesting that tampons give bad cramps... maybe I'll try going without them next cycle. I feel like my cramps have gotten way worse since my last D&C... I wonder.

    I use pads, but occasionally use tampons. After my last AF I am definately going to invest in always infinity pads.

    My tampons have to be Tampax Pearls. Right before I got my BFP I bought a huge 90 count box at BJ's back 2 weeks before my BFP and told my DH jokingly, "Watch I'll end up pregnant and this will have been a waste" And I have not needed one since I bought the box. Hopefully I won't need any in the near future either.

     This is me too. Usually my flow isn't heavy enough for a tampon- I always feel like I'm ripping other things out of me when I try to take it out. I think I'm going to invest as well in these always infinity pads too!

    Tampax Pearl. The ONLY type of tampon I can use. I hate using pads, but the always inifinity were awesome during my m/c.

    Depends on where I am in my cycle. I spot at first so I use panyliners. Then it gets really heavy, so a tampon with a pad or pantyliner back up...depending on need. Then it gets super light again so I'll go back to pads.
