Maybe you should stop using this brandof tampons.
Will your mechanic put her up on the lift?
I hope to Og not! But my doc would put her feet in these pretty metal lifty contraptions!
Hey, me too! Don’t take any slag from all those jealous post-ers! My “lady’s” talent isn’t one to share at a party, but she’s both flexible and strong!
I’ve often thought I just had a talented little lady. I mean, she flips and bends tampons in minutes…sometimes with a little drippy evidence. My periodic (pardon the pun) search for answers on the Internet just proved how dumb some doctors and gyn specialists are! (Hopefully, women still looking for answers will stumble on this post. I can’t begin to retrace my tracks with my newly found diagnosis.)
I actually found my answer in a 30-year-old, Women’s Health reference – left to me by my mom, pre-info age. In my case, the talent is due to a rectocele – protrusion of the rectal wall into the vaginal canal. There are many causes from childbirth to obesity or chronic constipation (um, no children here). There’s also something called an Enterocele – a hernia of the intestine through the vagina (concave, convex…it’s all relative to point of view…um, too much info?).
In fear of censorship, I’ll not add images here. You can google it! 
Hope this helps ya.
I get the OP’s problem sometimes when I use Tampax (as in, have to buy or bum one at school or the office). The damn thing doesn’t even expand or absorb properly, and it is terribly uncomfortable for me to wear (AND to remove dry).
I’ve used OBs for years…not only do they absorb properly and never leak unless they are just fully saturated, and I never let them get to that point, they are comfortable.
Tampax are like, three times as long as OB’s and it feels like I have a sharp stick up my twat whenever I have to use one. :eek: it could be the difficulty in getting them positioned just so, an issue I don’t have with OB’s 'cause I’m using my finger and not a tube of inflexible cardboard or plastic.
FTR, 2 kids but no “floppy vagina” here…if anything, post kids I was just a smidge looser and was pretty small/tight to begin with.
I’d look to problems with the TAMPON before I looked for problems with your Girl, jmho.
…try the Risotto! Its the house specialty.
I feel obligated to post in any period thread…Diva Cup. It’s life-changing.
I bought one (a Lunette) on the strength of the multitude of threads here on the dope - but I can’t seem to get it in right, it often seems like it shifts and ends up leaking. A couple of times I’ve done it right and it’s worked perfectly, but not enough for me to feel comfortable relying on it. Any hints (it is opening fully, I know that)?
You don’t own a vagina, do you? It’s fairly easy for an experienced vagina owner to be able to tell her vag from her ass. Also, I’ve had bleeding hemmorhoids. The fluid discharges from the anus and the vagina are in different areas.
I’ve been spayed for nearly 10 years now. Don’t miss my uterus or my ovaries and I especially don’t miss my periods.
Well yeah, that’s why I said “highly unlikely”, I didn’t really think she’d make that mistake.
I read this as doctors and gun specialists. :eek:
A long time ago National Lampoon did a parody of Cosmo. One of the ads in there was for the Tampoon or Harpoon or something like that. It looked similar to a standard tampon, but when you pulled the string, it ignited an explosive charge that fired out and “firmly seated” the object.
Aim carefully.

Sorry I can’t help the OP. Have you ever gone spelunking vaginally in order to rule out a massive diverticulum?
There. My happy thought for the evening.
Well, no…that appears to be the whole problem.
Tampax Pearl. They have the braided cord that prevents this. Pricier, but not much more so at Costco or on sale. Also make sure it’s deep enough; check out the picture, she sticks it way up her hooch.
I would eat rice and beans just to maintain my brand name contact solution and Tampax. Once the store had a sale on Tampax, and I only need the “lite” version. What the hell, try the store brand once, eh? Worst. Idea. Ever. World of difference. Store brands are shit.
Kind of hard to explain, but I need to rotate mine until it is full open- it can’t have any bit of a fold in it- it has to be a fully round dome. Usually I can get it this way by giving it a turn or two. I usually then let it ride a little high. Then it never leaks.
Joining the chorus of voices in praise of the Diva Cup. Life-changing is not an exaggeration.
Girl From Mars, I don’t have specific advice beyond what even sven said (though for me the “riding high” is primarily about comfort), but it’s worth noting that it probably took 3-4 full cycles for me to completely trust it.
Every day, the Internet gives me a new whaaAAAT?!
If somebody came up with a way to produce energy from sheer unadulterated fucked-up, this whole planet would light up like a Christmas tree.
That was beautifully phrased.
