One for the Ladies only!!!(and VERY VERY brave men!)
Silly one for the Lady's only!!!
So Lady's like everything else the Aussie tampons don't seem to be quite the same as the UK ones.
Which ones are the best in your experience?
Haven't seen Lilets at all around Bris unless someone has a secret shop for them.
The Tampax are similar to UK but crap anyway.
Strange Aussie make Libra don't even put knots in the strings so much inferior.
Men told you not to look this one's just for the Lady's.

Ah now I hadnt put this down the tampax being shite - I just thought that I was having 'heavier' periods (sorry if any guys have popped in for a read!!) - I used the 'regular' and just went straight through them (sorry again if TMI!
) so changed to Super and wasnt much better. Right then - I'd better keep an eye on this thread too.

Re: One for the Lady's only!!!
What's that one on 'league of gentlemen'...'bed like a butchers block'...LOL.
Bet the men don't know how quick to get back out of this one... :scared: .
The only problem with the buy a different box every time is you end up with cupboard full of faliures that you never want to use again... .
Will put the suggested brands down in my to buy list....this thread will have to run for a long time though so we can try a brand report and then another month or so to the next trial.
Speaking of thread, I just can't believe they don't put knots in them... have visions of the things never been seen again once put into use.

.I have got several friends who use them and swear by them. Some who suffered from very heavy periods have experienced an improvement in both flow and pain levels since using them.
