Tampon adventures

Okay, so yesterday i got adventurous and decided to check out what tampons are like (since i'm at my sister's house and can use hers without spending money, teehee). It took a while to completely figure out, as can be expected, and how it felt afterwords was also a little expected, but i'm a bit concerned...

It felt a little pinchy around the opening for a while, and there was a little dull pain on the inside that grew to become mild to moderate cramps (when before i put it in- i had none). I couldn't stand having it in me for more than 2 hours and took a while of tugging before i finally got it out. It wasn't really the cramping that made me take it out, more like a gut feeling of repulsion of what was inside me...

While the yuck that i felt in that 2 hours was not altogether frightning for an experience with tampons for the first time (I was almost expecting half of it), I'm concerned as to how my body will react when i get a Divacup. I'm worried that my body will reject it just as fast as it did the tampon (though i know the diva is so incredibly healthier than tampons).

I'm also thinking that maybe since I've read so much on how tampons are so horribly bad that my body just rejected it because of what I read. -I've vowed to not use tampons ever again and i'm waiting patiently for when i can afford a diva cup-

So before i go repeating myself in a tired stupor, what thinks ye, ladies? Am i scaring myself away from tampons and do i have reason to fear my body's rejecting stuff getting shoved up there?

If a tampon is causing that cramping feeling it may be that you didn't have it in correctly.
Sometimes you can push it up too far and it hits your cervix, or it can be in at a weird angle or something.

Also, the divacup is tons better for you than tampons, so try not to equate the two in your head if you think you're 'psyching yourself out' about having something inside you.

The divacup doesn't have icky bleach and doesn't dry you out,
not to mention the money it will save you!

i think compairing the two is one of the things that made my body not like tampons in the first place! and yes- the money will be an insanely good deal! *wishes herself luck* :P

i figured as much- especially since it was my first time and all- i just hope i don't make the same mistake with the diva

thanks!
