I'm really surprised that so many of y'all don't like Tampax! I think I know why, but I'm a little, um, skeptical about putting it on a message board like this.

Oh, wth! Let me state up front that I went to a pilot school when growing up, and they tested the state-wide ciriculum on us a good 5 years prior to the rest of the state. I had in depth sex-ed from 5th to 11th grade - and I'm talking about coed classes, and having to insert a diaphragm for a grade. That said, we obviously knew much more about our anatomy than the average school kid. If you are inserting a tampon and it isn't going past your crevix, it's going to hurt - especially Tampax brand. The secret is knowing and relaxing. I can't handle the ob or the other ones that expand width-wise - they're much too uncomfortable for me to remove.

I'm still not sold that this new product wouldn't cause toxic shock.
