Aww, thanks. But thet still leaves me with the tampon problem. Maybe I should talk to my doctor next time I'm there.

I'm a virgin and according to my gynecologist, I physically can't use tampons until the virginity goes buh-bye. Pads are just so freaking annoying, though. So bulky, and the store at my college only seems to sell panty-liners and tampons. Not helpful. I wish I could use tampons; then I could go swimming all the time and not have to miss out on fun summer activities. =(

But to whomever asked how long our periods last... mine are about a week. Two days are very heavy and after that it just peters off.

That's good. The reason I asked was because the risk of stroke would be greater with a smoker.

While we're oversharing...I went on the pill when i was 16. And i stayed on it ‘til i was 19. When i decided, there was no reason for me to be on it. I'm now 20 and i intend to start using it again. At the beginning of January i started for a couple of days and then started forgetting because i wasn’t home or i was busy and it had slipped my mind. Eventually i stopped again. I used an ECP a couple of times because we slipped up and now I’ve sworn of any extracurricular contact ‘til I’m back on the pill. The thing is that since I took the ECP my cycle has been so out of whack! I’ve had my period like 5 times since January. And what used to last for 3 days now lasts for 7…
Its so weird...

Fortunately, I am a guy. On my girlfriends (past and previous), the smell wasn't so fabulous but it wasn't so rank as I made it sound to be. Just a little exaggeration on my part.

Like I said, harhar, I'm a guy. BUT, I know the smell enough to not exactly fancy go muff diving when the missus is bleeding.

I thought this was about private messages... *vomits*

Yeah, it depends on the shape and size of your hoohoo. I could always use them with no problem, and when I lost my virginity, it didn't hurt, so I guess my hymen wasn't really in the way. Other girls, though, can't use tampons at all until they start having sex because their hymens cover so much of the vaginal opening.

[Crying_Crimson_Tears]

I HATE PMS!!!!!

I don't seem to be under it's influence right now, but yeah, I HATE IT!!!!!

It makes me want to eat and I am on a diet, and it makes me crabby and moody and no one wants to be around me, and I don't want them around me, which causes arguments.

PMS sucks.

Yeah, I want to go swimming to! *whines* Have you guys heard that even though you're wearing a tampon for your period in the ocean, that a shark could still smell it? EEEEEEEK!!!

It's weird, I have 3 other sisters who are able to use them, and I'm almost positive that they're not doing it. o.O Hey do you think sex toys might help? Hahaha.

[Crying_Crimson_Tears]

I know plenty of girls who are virgins and use tampons. They take some getting used to sometimes for most girls, but for some they could wait until they lose their virginity. When I lost mine it became easier for me to use them. But my parents wouldn't let me use them up until I was 14 anyway. They thought I was too young until then. I hate pads though and I know what you're talking about. They make me feel so unsanitary. Plus the smell is horrendous.

I NEVER liked the idea of a strip of plasic wrap/gauzy stuff in my underwear...

I recently heard of some lady that was using an organic one, made of sponge...anyone heard of that?

Most of last yera, my brother used to walk up to my friends and say "tampon tampon bloody tampon" most of them would freak out. its random and funny...

Yup! You can get them at drugstores and stuff. There are also this thing called a "cup" that you...use.

You know, maybe I could deal with my period a little better if I could use a tampon properly. Why on earth are they so difficult?

For some reason, my cramps are worse when I use a tampon. Dunno why. Try not using them when your flow is really heavy, and see if it improves?

[Minyaliel]

Lol at Drac

Tampons are a nightmare... For some reason I always feel nauseous (sp?) when using them. I've learned to ignore it when being at school, but when not I try to avoid them...

It happens to me sometimes, too. I think that it's simply being there can aggravate your body depending upon your physical make-up.

[PersephoneX]

I heard a story in the week about someone putting asbestos in them!

[DarkHeartedDemoness]

Um.... "in" them?!

WHY?!

[Lucretia_my_Reflection]

I become an evil phsyco bitch, and i get really bad cramps and cry alot.

[Dancing_in_rain]

Ooo. I hate PMS. I honestly think that if men had to go through the hellish world of PMS, mood swings, the "crap! Do-I-have-a-pad/tampon-with-me?!?" conversation with one-self and the cramps, there would be something better than Midol out there.

[thosewhomourn]

my pms was horrible (mood swings, killer cramps, heavy, lasted for days, etc.), I went on the pill for it and after the 3rd try it began work wonders (no cramps, lighter moods, hardly any bleeding, and the best part...3 days). To all of you who said your period's bad, I recommend talkin to your doc.

-keep one in your handbag, works wonders and a spare pair of underwear is a godsent for little accident's

[Dancing_in_rain]

I'd also suggest that if you aren't regualr, invest in some black underwear. A standard cycle is 28 days, which amounts to about a month. So figure out when your last period was, count a month from there and wear black underwear til the bloody nuisance arrives. Then, long live sanitary protection.

eh??? I though asbestos was found in old building materials...

[mrs.wes straker]

Yay!!!!! I was so worried that my recent pick-up in use of profanity and extreme bitchiness was due to my being evil, and then I remembered....it's that time again! Woo hoo! I'm not so bad after all!

[PersephoneX]

There are times when you wish it would come and put you out of the misery of stressing about whether or not its coming…
