I hated pads but until I had erm...had sex for the first time. I could never seem to use tampons. After that I didn't have a problem with tampons, though I still find them annoying as even the super strong ones I have to change after about 2 hours :(
Can you start wearing them after, ahem, omg, 30 YEARS of periods?!
It's true. 30 years this year.
Bring on the perimenopause. Oh, wait.
I don't see why not! And gosh, what a lot of periods!

Have you tried super plus extra? I have a rather heavy flow (YES YOU ALL NEEDED TO KNOW THIS) but with super plus extra can normally get through about 4 hours.

YES.
Jodie doesn't understand heavy flows and only uses regular tampons and scowled when I asked her to buy me some super plus extra tampons. I replied with "I can't help it if I have a heavy flow and a wide set vagina!".
3-4 days??? Nice for some! I'm on for about six days and then spend the few days after that wondering if it's planning a last minute attack to draw it out into a second week. Naughty period

Yes, because periods have brains and plan these things...

Mine does. It's a badass.
IN RELATED NEWS, Jodie just got a period tracker app on her smart phone and it is thrilling and has lots of different sections for menstrual symptoms, mood, ovulation, etc. It's so exciting. I don't have a smart phone, so may have to make a paper version for myself.
I've always used pads. I once tried one of my mum's tampons as a teenager and it kind of, uh, got a bit stuck and I freaked out. I didn't dare try again after that. :P
Watch the sunrise all alone
Sitting on the tracks
Hear the train come roaring in
Never coming back
Laying quiet in the grass
Everything is still
River stones and broken bones
Scattered on the hill
Jenna - if that's the orange ones then yes *scowls*
It's only horrendously bad for about 2-3 days and then calms down for the last few days thank god.
I might genuinely have to get Jodie's app! I turn into evil psycho bitch the week or two before and always end up arguing with Graeme, then he refuses to retaliate and says I'm only grumpy coz of the time of month. Cue me angrily going "NO IT'S NOT, I am properly angry!!!!!....oh...wait.."

Bless you! My first experience with a tampon was more than stressful (I shan't go into details!!), but I assure you it is delightful once you get the hang of it. Was your mum's an applicator one? I'm back on non-applicator ones now because they're cheaper, but for the first few years I used applicator ones as they're so incredibly easy to use. I don't think they do the tampax mini anymore, but a tampax regular applicator tampon would be a good place to start if you ever feel brave enough to try again!

Don't you just love how grumpy you get the week beforehand??? I always ALWAYS have at least one argument with someone, usually over silly things, like tea towels!
