IUD users

Have I asked this before? My midwife mumbled something about "being careful when using tampons" with my Paragard. Well, I've got my first period and now I'm all confused about when it's okay to use the 'pon. Pads are so not where it's at.

    Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
  • I didn't use tampons as often after I got my IUD as I did before. They were never quite as comfortable. To put it into perspective though, I always found them uncomfortable.

    I have not had that problem. Although I have also not had anything resembling a light flow.

  • I have and will continue to use them on the odd chance I have enough of a period to warrant one.
