My daughters are totally different, one uses tampons, one uses pads. When they were young, the tampon companies would send you a starter kit for young girls with a little book showing how to use them from a young girl's perspective. My daughter who uses tampons says the Tampax Pearl have the easiest to insert applicator and they have wings so they absorb better.

I had a hysterectomy 12 years ago, so I'm not personally up to date.

Wishing you and your daughter the best with this and her gymnastics!!

Are there olympic rings in the future????

I hear you.....I had a hysterectomy about 4 1/2 years ago & I definately don't miss it! I will admitt, every once in a while I will look at a friends baby & feel a little sad, but I wanted to finish having kids by the time I was 30 (just a personal preference) & so the surgery just insured that

No, I don't think we'll have olympic rings in the future. She didn't start until she was 8, so she's at a fairly low level for her age. BUT, she's pretty darn good & most importantly, she LOVES it!!
