    Use of tampons when overweight

    I forgot to also mention a product called a lip liner. It’s basically a cloth pad but is small and intended to be placed between the labia to absorb and also control the direction of the flow. it may perhaps make it so you don’t have to double the dosposanle pads to get a longer length. I personally had as much trouble placing them as I did with the tampon and it irritated me to have something folded in there. But it might work well for others.

    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.
