In today's paper - Tampon with a Twist

I thought this was interesting, wanted to share!

Tampon With A Twist

It's at least more interesting than popping Midol all day. New on the menstrual-cramp solutions scene is the Vipon, a vibrating tampon (get your mind out of the gutter!) that aims to ease the pain of menstrual cramps.
A regular old cotton tampon is fitted with a motor that shakes with comforting frequency. A battery pack worn outside the body powers the device, which is said to give a 'soothing sensation' and have 'no unwanted side effects.' No word yet on 'wanted' side effects. Check out www.vipon.com for more info, and expect it to become available in march.

I think I am the only female on the planet who has never used a tampon. It is pads for me. I am the most paranoid, scared person on earth about certain things.

Re: In today's paper - Tampon with a Twist

K....

This story is for you...

Last March we were in Miami... And it was a party vacation. WMC..

Anyway my period came.. And I was in a string bikini..

So my gf said lets use a tampon. I was BOMED by the pool.. So I said Ok..

Never using one IN MY LIFE I took one of her's and attemped to put it in.. I didn't tell her but it KILLED me all day.....................................

When we went back to the room I told Ronnie and I was so scard.. Needless to say I put it in without taking it out of the plastic thing. and I pushed it in so far there was no string..

AT this MOMENT I knew ROnnie and I were bonded forever.. He had to get tweezers and find the string and pull it out..

PAIn and Tears..

NEVER AGAIN..

PADS FOREVER!!!

Re: In today's paper - Tampon with a Twist

OMG - I think I would DIE if that had happened to me

Vibrating tampons just don't sound right!

Re: In today's paper - Tampon with a Twist

I'm a pad girl too. I'm also paranoid about tampons. I had it in one day for a few hours longer than i wanted, and i was freaking out cuz i was afraid I'd get TSS. You probably can't get it from just having it in for 8 hours, but I couldn't wait to get it out.
