Tampax

[modsaluk]

Silly question but when is it safe to use tampax again. My DS is now four months old. Please advise

If your af is back to normal now is prob as good a time as any. First six weeks after birth is a definate no no!

sorry i am a novice what does af stand for?

why not try a mooncup? google if you dare!

As soon as periods hae retunred to normal i assume. Rebecca is 14 weeks and i have used tampons for my last 2 periods. HTH

what ???

sorry that was to cathyspam, thank you devil

af is aunty flo which means period apparently (no I had never heard of it before Mumsnet either).

Mooncups, you really don't want to know about.

really intrigued now

mooncups are great, little plastic - er cups you pop in instead of tampons. much better for your vagina & also the environment & miles cheaper in the long run. aparently you can now get them in boots. how times change.

Apparently in medievil (sp)times women used to use half a lemon, so I have been told. So dunno if times change, I think that they just come around again!

I think the sale of them in Boots is the times changing bit.

I have one and it is great. Particularly atm when it is in more or less constant use due to this implant. grr.

If you're past six weeks postpartum, they're fine to use.

Confession time. The first time I inserted a tampon after DS was born it just fell straight back out. No wonder I had an easy delivery with DD!

My AF cam 5 weeks after giving birth and I used tampax straight away, Lochia had stopped 2 weeks prior to this though.

Try Lil-ettes. I'm hoping hte coil stops mine altogether, tho.
