I too will try the U by Kotex to see if I can insert easier. Also for those that still need pads. I will recommend cloth pads. They are wonderful. Yes you do have to wash them but really it’s no worse than dealing with the disposable. I have also noticed that my periods are lighter and shorter in duration. Probably lack of chemicals and hormones in plastic. Go to Saucytots.com. HOPE is the seemstress and you can ask her to make you pads as long as you need. I use 18 inch pads and ask for dark patterns. (No stain issues, throw right into washer and dryer) they run about a dollar an inch. I bought about 5 to start and added a few more so I didn’t have to wash them but once. Also get a nice wet/dry bag. Makes it easy. I also recommend this link and Brione has many other videos to answer questions and solve problems.
