I work in an office, so I often sit down and stand up. Each time I would feel a sudden menstrual outflow and often went to the bathroom because I was worried about leaks. I found tampons at a drugstore. At first, I thought they would be painful, but when I used them I found them easy to use and there was no discomfort, so I’m free from worries over leaks during my period!

I often experienced back leaks when I would roll over in my sleep, but that’s completely gone since I started using tampons and now I can sleep very comfortably. Tampons are much more pleasant than I thought they’d be. I know now that they’re simple to use. I’m 30 yrs. old now, but in my teens and 20s I thought that tampons were scary. Now I’m a bit regretful, wishing I’d used them earlier.

Toilets on airplanes tend to be crowded, so I tried using a tampon. On that day, there was turbulence and the seatbelt sign stayed on for over 3 hours. The plane rocked so much that even the cabin attendants stayed seated and food service was stopped! When we safely landed, I was thankful for the pilot’s skill and the tampon. (*Do not use tampons longer than 8 hours.)

One day, work was busy and after lunch I was unable to go to the bathroom until evening. Even though on that day I experienced the heaviest menstrual flow, I safely made it through because of the tampon’s absorption. In bad instances, I’ve had such a heavy flow that not just my underwear, but even my pants get soiled, so I was thankful for the absorption!
