igo_yaoi at first. ><;
So, ever since I got my first period I've always used pads, with the exception of when I was swimming, or perhaps feeling curious. Once I tried the Diva Cup, but I couldn't get it to stop pinching or leaking. I also have one cloth pad a friend gave me, but, well, one pad doesn't really help. (I eventually plan to buy more; I'd like to make that, or something like the Diva Cup if I can get it to work, my main protection.) Well, the other day I realized that I'd be able to save A LOT of waste by switching to O.B. tampons, so I bought some at work the other day to try. I wore it last night and have been wearing it today, and so far it hasn't been leaking, so I'd say it's been a successful experiment so far. Of course, I really should wear just a pad at night, what with the risk of T.S.S. and all. I guess that's all the more reason to invest in cloth pads/a new Diva Cup sooner.
[EDIT: Tried to put in my third one, and I couldn't get it in enough to not pinch. I think maybe it was too dry? Leaving it out for a bit to see if it'll moisten up.]
