Reddit mentions of Emerita Organic Cotton Super Plus Tampons, 14 Count

I get super heavy periods so let me tell you how I handle it usually.

First, since you had a bad experience with tampons previously, you might want to try organic tampons. I love the organic tampons from Emerita, but 7th Generation also has good ones. I never knew how uncomfortable regular tampons were until I tried organic tampons. They don't bleach the cotton so it's much more comfortable, especially if you are sensitive to chemicals. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Emerita-Organic-Cotton-Super-Tampons/dp/B0052P185E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405581249&sr=8-1&keywords=emerita+organic+tampons

Also, depending on how heavy your periods usually are, I'd suggest going up a level or two in absorbency levels. I have super heavy periods because of endometriosis so I have to have the highest level of absorbency and then change it about every hour. Hopefully you aren't as heavy flow as I am.

For the cramps, many people find drinking milk helps. Otherwise, bring your favorite pain relief with you. You'll need to bring along a small bag or something for typical water park necessities, along with tampons.

My final thing I have to say is you know how often you have to change your pads-- I assume you use pads. Tampons will probably last you a little bit longer. You can figure this out a bit on your light days.

And finally, if you have it, wear a dark bathing suit bottom. People are less likely to notice in case you do leak. I have black bathing suit bottoms just for this purpose.
