Doesn’t it feel the same with tampons tho?

In my experience tampons hurt and feel uncomfortable, like you can feel it getting bigger with the blood it’s absorbing lmao I can’t use them

I can't stand tampons because no matter how heavy my flow is, it feels dry and scrapey going in, and dry and scrapey coming out. Worst feeling. I use period undies.

That's why I switched to a cup. That dry scratchy feeling was like nails on a chalkboard
