heyy, i'm new and i absolutely love this community! anyways, i have 2 questions:

first of all, whenever i have my period and wear a tampon, the blood leaks down the string! i always think i've used the whole thing and like 'wow i must be really heavy', but when i take it out there's like nothing absorbed in the tampon! i always have to wear pantiliners with them... i use playtex brand... and basically the whole thing is really annoying! has anyone else had this problem and/or any solutions?

also, i was just wondering... ok this is kind of embarassing, but where does everyone's pubic hair extend to... like does anyone else have it around their anus?

and last but not least, a quick rant... omg i think it is the most annoying thing ever to have my period on day 2 or 3, because it's so obvious!! i have to go to the bathroom SO often, always with my purse, and UGH there's like no way to hide it! this especially sucks when 2 of my best friends are guys, and i'm normally with them... they find it slightly amusing, but mostly probably gross, and i find it extremely embarassing AHH!!!

aaaand that is all, thanks ;)

Whenever I wear a tampon, it leaks like that too. I would always have to wear a pad with the tampon! But now, I use a DivaCup (http://www.divacup.com). You may want to check it out and think about getting one yourself. It will also make it less obvious when you have your period, because you don't have to change it very frequently (for me, only twice a day on my heavy days).

Go to the divacup website listed above your comment and click on the tab "order" it will show you the price in the US, Canada, and International.

I ordered mine from the divacup website. Their prices are:
United States: US$32.50 + 3.25 S&H
Canada: CA$39.50 + 7% GST+3.25 S&H
International: US$32.50 + 7.00 S&H

You can get them other places too, but I'm not sure of the cost.

You should check out menstrual_cups. There's some good information and lots of nice people. :)

t's around 35 dollars. But it's way cheaper than tampons in the long run, since it lasts for years. Here (http://lunapads.com/about/value.php) is more info about the money issue. Plus, if for some reason you don't like it, it has a one year money back satisfaction guarantee.

Mine was like 26ish, but I think it was some sort of fluke that I found it for so cheap.

You also might just try a different type of tampon. Different kinds(tampax, o.b.) are made to flare more at the base and can offer more protection. You should try buying a few sample packs, or ordering samples, of each. The diva cup is a good idea as well. I don't like them, but I've heard good things.And yeah, most people have pubic hair all the way around their anus.. it's just how it works. And guys are even worse! I agree with the poster that said those boys need to grow up. Don't be embarasssed. If you really feel you must be emparassed keep your tampons in your pocket or take your purse to the bathroom every day of the month. Boys aren't as attentive as we'd like to think, btw. If they are being rude tell them to get bent. Also, why are you changing your tampon so much? They can be left in up to 8 hours(change it more during the day, but you're usually good to go during the day). You might try a heavier absorbancy. Always use the lightest absorpancy you can to reduce your risk of TSS, but if you are using 'regulars' and you have to change your tampon every two hours it's time to step up on the absorbancy.

"If they are being rude tell them to get bent." The best advice!! :)
