After struggling with tampons for years, I finally went back to the alternative. I had a retroverted uterus back when I still had a reproductive system, and it was just a problem using tampons.

I remember my mother having to almost lasso and tie me down to get me to the gyn as a teenager - I was totally mortified at the mere idea and even now it takes a really good reason to go. Of course, after the ovarian cancer scare and subsequent surgery (I did not have ovarian cancer as it turned out, whew) there isn't much need for one these days
