Are there Tampons for short petite women with heavy flow? Read additional Details.?

Question

By not fitting I mean lenght. I use the thicker absorbent tampons, but it feels like I am sitting on a pogo stick. Looking for shorter lenght tampons that are super absorbent with a string.

I am almost 40 and have been using tampons for a while. It isn't until recently that I have been needing to use the super absorbent one. I have asked my doctor and she was not very helpful.

Answer 1

OB is shorter, even the superduper absorbency...
The menstrual cups work well too.

Answer 2

The problem probably isn't the length but the added roundness. Especially if you have been using standard tampons in the past. You might have to use a less absorbant tampon and just change more often. Thats what I had to do and I am 5"11. The super absorbent tampons never felt "right". So, I went back down to regular and change every 3 hours or as needed.

Answer 3

Perhaps the answer here is to move away from tampons and their health risks, and use a product like "Instead" which has no health risks and will not make you feel like you are sitting on a pogo stick. There are other menstrual cups too like the Mooncup, the Keeper, and the Diva cup.

DO NOT CUT THE TIP OFF OF A TAMPON! That is dangerous and can lead to fibers remaining inside of your vagina.

Answer 4

are you trying to say your vagina is shorter in length or not very much longer than a tampon's length? The only time i can actually feel one inside is when its not placed correctly, for example not deep enough. I have never seen a tampon shorter than the regular sizes.

Answer 5

Try OB brand they are shorter. You simply may also need to use a pad with your tampon as your periods are probably changing with age.

Answer 6

You're just putting it in far enough. If nothing else, cut the tip of it off some. It won't hurt to cut it.

Answer 7
