They are also supposed to decrease your flow as well over time as they do not draw fluid in the way an absorbant product would.
Now that I have weaned my 19 month old, I should be resuming a regular cycle soon and I am going to try a diaphram, since I already have one of those  |
Yeah, I read that there was no related cases to TSS. I don't really like pads cuz they seem to always cause me to have a mild case of thrush after each cycle no matter what brand/absorbancy or how often it's changed. Tampons I can use but I get SUPER paranoid about TSS and I'm constantly clock watching and if I feel even slightly weird for even a millisecond I go into full scale panic mood about TSS.
Wow, 19months and you still don't have your cycle? Amelia is 1 and I'm still nursing her and my cycle started again at 6months.

I lucked out.

Is it practical? I mean like when you're out and you have to use public conviences.
