LADIES - question about tampons and periods

Hi ladies, I’ve a question for you.

During my periods I usually use tampons, but when my period is finishing I feel a weird sensation wearing my tampon inside. I feel like a slightly itchy/burning sensation in my vagina…is it normal? Did you feel the same?

(I always change tampons and wash my vagina so it’s not an hygiene problem)

Nooooo have never had the sensation you are feeling/talking about. Maybe you should discuss with your gyno!!

I have experienced that before, it can be due to your tampon not absorbing as much fluid as it's at the end of your period. If you have any real concerns though I would definitely speak to your doctor about it.

While I'm not female , you may find this article beneficial and may answer your question.

Try switching to a less absorbent tampon on the last day or two of your period. (Or switch to pads or a menstrual cup on those days.) When there's less period blood to absorb as your cycle winds down, the tampon still draws in moisture, so it can dry up your vaginal walls and cause irritation. This gets more likely as we get older and produce less vaginal lubrication.

Nope I've never experienced that before. Might be good to get checked out by your doc if you're concerned

Definitely mention that to a doctor or gynecologist. They would know better about your personal situation than any of us. I used to use tampons, but switched to pads. I believe there are different sized tampons for heavy days, medium days and lighter days. I felt more of a "drying out" situation with the heavier tampon.

Also, check the materials (ingredients? Is that the right word?) of the tampons. Could you be allergic to any of the materials in it?

Try a cup and see if it happens after that.

I allways change size at the end if the period, don't need more than the smallest at the end. If I do use the one for heavyer flow I can feel that sore feeling.

Try a cup and see if it happens after that.

A cup may not have the same affect. But talking with your doctor would be best to actually know if there is anything going on.
