problems using tampons after birth

[nicksi27]

Hi ladies, ive noticed that since ive had charlie tampons are much more uncomfy than they used to be. I use them but can still always feel them which isnt pleasant. I used to use them with no problems before having charlie. I had forceps and episiotomy which probably doesnt help matters!

anyone else??

i had a 3rd degree tear, and a episotomy, i used pads as advised for the lochia, then i had a period and due to having eczema which flares up with the use of pads, i needed to use a tampon, but my gosh did it hurt, i then had a feel with my finger, im pretty sure its way more swollen up there than normal but health visitor, doctor, and widwife all say its normal.
i still use tampons, but it takes ages to get it right, they dont go as far in as they used to but i cant feel them, i have started using shops own brand non applicator tampons and these are much comfier..
