Oh my gosh, how do you forget this?! TMI alert

AF shows up unexpectedly today while I am at work. So I run out to the store and grab some tampons. Y'all, I have been using the Diva so long, I could NOT figure out how to work this tampon! It's all compact and I couldn't figure out how to get the thing working!!! I have never felt so stupid and panicked at the same time.

Ugh!! You would think this would not be the kind of thing a woman forgets how to do!

Yikes, I hope you eventually got it in okay! :)

I don't use the compact ones, but I wonder if they're different. Do you have to take the "plunger" stick out and turn it around or something?

That's what I thought, so that's part of the reason I didn't use them. They sounded too complicated for me to deal with!

I haven't used applicator tampons since the idea of applicator-free o.b. stopped grossing me out ... and I think the o.b.'s fit better anyway.
