Best Non Toxic Tampons - that ACTUALLY Work!
-
Obsessed with Flex “tampons” … technically a disc not a tampon but trust me on this it’s a life changer. Good for you, good for the environment. The website is flexfits.com. The idea is a little different at first but it changed my life and I’ll never go back.

I have tried most organic tampons. Here are the ones I have tried recently and have stuck with because they actually work!
Plus, you can find them at HEB

I love the Rael brand, they remind me of the old plastic ones but supposedly less toxic. They work for when you workout too.

While it’s possible you will need to change type & size of your tampon after a major event such as childbirth, it’s more likely that underlying pelvic floor dysfunction is the cause of your tampons not staying in place. If you are not managing intra-abdominal well then your body will push the tampon out. It sounds like this is happening especially during your workouts when we typically generate more intra-abdominal pressure to generate the force needed to exercise.
A sign of good pressure management is that your tampon is further in after your workout than when it started. It’s important to be able to manage pressure effectively to prevent conditions like pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence.
Based on what you have described is happening, I highly recommend you see a pelvic floor PT local to you that can coach you through good pressure management and body mechanics through functional movements to avoid long term pelvic floor dysfunction.
