Also, it's the brand I always wear, so it's not like it's something different that I'm not used to.

Replies CherryBabii21 Posted at 9:50 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 Is your flow heavy or lighter than usual?

I don't know how to describe it. Its like burning, but its NOT burning. And its little, but its there and the longer its there, the more annoying and "painful" It usually happens when the tampon isn't deep enough and its kind of..slipping out You all keep saying it's not deep nor the right absorbancy, but it is.  Like I said, I'm no stranger to tampons.  It just hurts like it's falling out (but it's not) when I sit forward, or am lying fetal position, and I don't know why.  It's not painful, just uncomfortable. 9 Volt Posted at 9:38 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 Oh yeah, sometimes if you don't get it deep enough, you get like this...annoying pain.

Soul Sista Posted at 9:32 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 Maybe you're just using one that's too big for your flow. Try going down a size.
