(( VaginaPagina ))

I've had this problem with every tampon I've ever used. For years, I thought my vagina had magic powers that allowed the bleeding to somehow skip the tampon and just go straight to my panties. Then, I was told by the doctor that I have a tilted uterus. I looked at diagrams of what a tilted uterus was and I realized that the tampon was actually by-passing the cervix. Here's what an inserted tampon looks like:



Now, with a retroverted/tilted uterus, the cervix points towards the front instead of towards the back. This means that the tampon is being inserted behind the cervix, instead of in front of it.

In my experience, there's no way to put the tampon in front of the cervix, no matter what absorbency I use.

I've recently purchased a diva cup and just completed my second cycle with it. I'm absolutely in love. It works wonderfully with tilted uteruses.

Hope this helps :)
