Just needed to be heard for a little while

What Pyxis said! Basically put one in and then err stretch a bit and put another one in next to it afterwards. It is kind of like sitting on a pillow and not exactly comfortable but needs must. To take them both out it is essential that the string is still hanging down on both, you need to check this when you put the second one in, in case you forget there are two. It is hard to forget though because you when you pull one out the other tends to drop down with it.

Hello Oyster! I was wondering how you were. Do be brave and make a doctors appointment, it will be worth checking that that medication is ok for you.

That beer sounds lovely, Pyxis! No mutated flu viruses allowed here! They're banned!

Pyxis

:rotfl:I think the orangey beer has cured my cough!!!

(Or perhaps I'm just not bothered any more!)


Yes, the trick is to remember how many went in, and make sure the same number come out!
Maybe have a checklist in the loo, like they do in operating theatres for the swabs!:rotfl:

But as WaS says, they both tend to come out when you pull on one. I think it's much easier to forget one that's on its own.

Years and years ago T@mp@x instructions used to suggest using two tampons side by side on heavy days and knotting the strings together. Once the toxic shock scares started they stopped advising this but it's something I've always done when the need occurs. It can be a bit more fiddly with the tampons that expand withways but not difficult. As Code says it is essential that both are removed and never leave in place for longer than overnight.

Dr's appt is made WaS, no more pills if I don't see him and I want to sort myself out ..... also been brave and made opticians appointment !! 8)

:T :T Oystercatcher!

Actually, that reminds me....I'd ordered some new glasses and didn't have time before Xmas to pick them up and then was ill! Must remember to go and get them next week!

Well done oyster! That's brilliant!

I hardly ever get the chance to leave mine in overnight! I would settle for being able to leave one in for an hour right now. I never thought of knotting the string, going to try that!

Pyxis

Hee hee just had a silly idea!

(You heard it first here, folks, in case there's a patent dispute!)

Why not have a 'SmartPon'?

That's a tampon with embedded technology, so that after a predetermined length of time, it signals to your phone or tablet!
I'd first thought of it emitting a beeping noise, but thought that might be embarrasing in certain situations!:rotfl:

Perfect! Make it, Pyxis. I will be your beta tester!

Do they still make tampons that expand widthways? I really preferred planted but cannot find them anymore.

Hmm, not sure the multiple thing is somewhere I want to go tbh. I have to change about half hourly but have memory problems. I have a friend who put one behind the other ...twice, and had to go to hospital for both and has no memory problems. I think the potential benefit of going twice as long is not worth it for risk to me personally.

Pyxis

If only! Physics was my worst ever subject and I never ever touched on electronics, let alone chip technology.

Would you prefer a beeper or a message-sender? :rotfl:
OR, we could have one that plays your choice of ringtone when ready!
Just trying to think of a suitably silly song title..............

Ah, I have never tried one behind the other, I always use them next to each other. I can see how that would be a risk because the second one may push the string of the first inside.

For some reason I thought I would like mine to play Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Pyxis. WaSp is great with technology but I think he may flee in horror if I suggest that he makes one.
