This might sound stupid but what is ob? Also, Travis: I haaate pads. They're so bulky for me. I use pantiliners, but not alone. I would never use a pad or liner alone on my period, feels like I'm just sitting in my period all day. D:

They're tampons that don't use applicators. I've used them a couple of times because my mom bought them accidentally. Since they don't have an applicator, they're really small and easy to hide, but you have to basically put them in by feel, and there's the risk of not putting them in far enough. They're not my preferred brand but I like them. :3

[ C A N N ! B U L ] i feel like tampax cardboard are like, the old woman's tampon. i'm sorry but my v****a is rather tight and hasn't been torn to shreds from 4 children, i'm going with a plastic applicator. I find it alarming that I didn't even notice my v****a being torn to shreds by four children. I normally use cardboard because I get a guilty conscience throwing away all that plastic. It's a lot easier to buy OBs here, though, so whenever my period comes (it was regular for like three whole months but now it's two weeks late again lol) I'm going to do my best with those. When I go home I want to get a Divacup or something of the like, though.

I went through 3 cups. One original "Keeper" two Lunacups (2 diff sizes), it would never angle right and never sealed. Made me a mess. Blech.

I love using the new Kotex U tampons. The applicator has a nice smooth head, and inserts without poking my vaginal wall. PLUS they fit in your purse nicely, and you don't have to wash as throughly as you do with the OB ones. (You still should wash your hands. EW YEAST!) I have the poking problem with Tampax pearl, and the compak line. sad I'll always use cardboard applicators. They may be a little bit discomforting, but overall, it's better than having a piece of plastic p***k you in the pooter. 3nodding Anyone tried the Instead brand? It's a vaginal cup that collects the blood. You can use it while you sleep, and even though it's messy when you take it out, it's worth sleeping with if you don't like a diaperish pad. You cannot get TSS from the Instead cup. 4laugh

I use OB. they are bomb.
it grossed me out at first using my finger to put them in...
but if you catch it early enough and keep up with changing them it's generally pretty clean.
I've tried using instead, but I don't think I got it in right and it grossed me out when I went to change it. |:

I have to admit that the crazy liberal hippie in me is roaring with anger now rofl
I guess it's just hard for me to understand why people make disposable stuff when they could use re-usable ones for years...

The idea of Mooncups seem too dangerous to me. The idea that I might get caught at work when it was full, and having to bleed all over the place while I washed it out in a sink hundreds of people use a day, hoping and praying that my Director wouldn't come in and see me doing it just ... yeah.
It's lighter now, that I am on birth control, but it just seems like too much work and fuss honestly. It seems like it'd be more suited for someone that's kinda homebound.

You don't have to wash it in the sink if your flow is extremely heavy. You can take a bottle of water with you and use that water to wash it if the stall doesn't have a small sink or a small manual shower (You understand what I'm talking about right...).

Showers? The only place with showers is the locker room next to the fitness room downstairs. As far as the toilets, each stall has a toilet, toilet paper, a small shelf, paper sanitary seat covers and a bin built into the wall for used feminine products. Outside and directly in front of the toilet stalls are a row of sinks, so the sinks and what you are doing in them are in full view to whoever walks into the bathroom.
So you can kinda see how that would be embarassing. Unless I sat in the handicapped stall, there really wouldn't be enough room to wash it out with bottled water unless I stood up, faced the toilet and stood there with my pants and undies down and rised it off. It just doesn't seem convinient.

i like u by kotex. i was so uncomfortable with tampons until i got a sample pack of those in the mail.
i like them. :> and they kind of look like candy because of the bright colors and their small size.
i've only ever used plastic applicator.
O.B. was nice but ehhh, not my first choice.

I think I am the only woman in the world who does not use tampons.
