Mainly, I use pads when it comes to be that time. A few months ago, I started using mom's tampons since we didn't have any pads and she refused to go to the store. I knew how to use them and all was right with the world.
Color Guard has started up and our uniforms are sort of tight, so I've decided to start using tampons (I'm worried people will see my pad or some s**t like that). I've been using regular tampons for Guard. The ones Mom had were super and they were too big. Anyway, whenever I use tampons now, I get sick. I know I'm doing it right, but I don't know what's going on. I gag and my stomach hurts worse than it ever has. Halp?

I'd go to the doctor to make sure it's not TSS or some adverse reaction to something in the tampon. Maybe you just need to switch brands, or maybe your body has an issue with tampons altogether. Or maybe you could use a smaller tampon?

I know I used Tampx tampons for the first time ever last month, and they were actually painful to use. I guess they elongated too much when they were in me or something, so I switched back to Playtex and those work perfect for me.

This was something I was actually curious about. What are the chances of getting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) from tampon use? Can you get it any other ways than from tampons?
