Trouble with tampons

[Tea1Sugar]

I'm 10 weeks post csection of dd2. I haven't had a "proper period" but am on day 3 of first withdrawal bleed off the pill and tampons just feel sore. I'd understand if I had stitches down below to contend with but I had an elcs. I'm not breastfeeding. Am I just odd?!

Try a mooncup?

I haven't had a c-section but I have had two babies, and since I had them I find that my nether regions are sore during the first couple of days of my period...so sore that I cannot use a tampon/mooncup. My GP just puts this down to hormonal changes. Possibly similar for you? I know you're on the pill but you will have a hormonal dip during the withdrawal bleed I think? I know that lack of oestrogen can cause vaginal soreness...

Mooncups freak me out!

Why do they freak you out?

Can vaginal dryness be the cause?

it says not to use tampons after birth fr a certain period.. now if i could remember where i read it...
