I don't know why I'm having this issue all of a sudden, I never have before and I've been on my period for about 6-7 years, and have been wearing tampons ever since I started my period. Also, it's the brand I always wear, so it's not like it's something different that I'm not used to. Any ideas as to why this is happening?  Mucho thanks.

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.
