VERONICA...What a scream! I remember when my mom told me I couldn't wear tampons until I got married!!

VELOCITY...Another suggestion for the YI w/ tampons: maybe all-cotton tampons may help. I haven't tried them (although I am prone to YIs, too, tampons don't seem to bother me that way). All natural material may be less irritating. Also, don't use scented tampons or pads--they are killer.
