Tampons (UK base)

Hi ladies!

So i am a pad user and always have been. I suffer with PCOS and rarley have periods. However the pass year I have been going under fertility treatment and now i have them regular and very heavy and painful. I am okay to use pads the first few days. But as i get lighter the pad just starts to rub and gets very very itchy. I want to give tampons a try.

Please tell me everything I need to know about tampons. Like how long i leave it in, how do i know when a tampon needs to come out before the time limit, is it comfortable, etc.

And what is the best brand to use in the UK

Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you for the suggestions guys. I may be looking at getting cups and other things. As someone said tampons can cause cramps to worsen. I am fine with pads the first few days but as i get light they just cause irritation so i may experiment on my lighter days. Thank you all again. 🥰
