I’ve always found OBs to be a little more uncomfortable than Tampax, so I worry that it’s not going in far enough. With Tampax, I know exactly how far to insert it. Unfortunately, even super Tampax leaks so badly I have to wear a pantiliner. I can’t wear either unless the flow is heavy to very heavy–it’s awful to remove them otherwise. **zweisamkeit** , I started late too-- ten years of getting my period and I just switched this year.
