TMI question about my Fanjo, tampons, mooncups and other delightful things!

Have namechanged because I suspect dc's teacher knows my usual posting name. She does not need to know intimate details about my foof!

I hate tampons, but persevere as I hate the gushy feeling when I have my period.
Recently though, it really hurts when I put them in, and when they're in, it feels like my insidey bits are gradually pushing them out. TBH, and this is quite Blush to admit, if I have a little feel inside, it feels very squashy and billowy - like it's lost any structure iyswim!

Does this sound like a pelvic floor issue? I've only had CS, no natural births. I am overweight (just to add to the picture!)

I have a mooncup, which I've been gearing up to try, but given the state of my fanj, would it work, or would I have problems getting it in and out?

If you need any more info, just ask - I am under a nc, I have no shame :o

Give the menstral cup a go.
Tampax were a disaster post ds2, but I luff my me luna cup.

Also worth do some pelvic floor excerises, and booking a gp appointment if your worried.

I started using softcups and love them! Hated wearing tampons and pads.

I have a moon cup and love it.......I have never been able to use tampons of any shape or size because they just ease down and are incredibly painful. I've had the cup for a year now, and have awful heavy/unpredictable periods, but never have any problems with the cup moving or leaking....it is also painless to use.
