Tampons... When???!!!!

missjess · May 27th, 2008, 11:57 AM

So when can we use them? Can I use them on my first period?

When did you ladies start?

I tried one last week, it was really uncomfortable, had to take it back out

I feel horrible wearing pads too

i started using them after about 5 weeks of having Riley (my first period)

I think from 6 weeks?

I asked the dr about it at my 6 week check and she said it was fine to use them then as long as they're comfortable.

Oh good! thanks girls! I couldn't wait to use them.

I can't wait to use tampons again, pads are annoying.

I had a c-section (dilated only 1cm) with my first, and my OB said I could use tampons for the lochia. I did so, and even went swimming 1 kilometer 3 weeks after I gave birth! 2nd time around, I think I used pads. I would ask at your 6 week check-up tho.

I was so scared of tampons before.. But let me tell you it feels so much better than a pad!!!! Especially when it's 35 degrees and very sticky on a summer day.
