It took me awhile, but I finally got used to it. Now I can hold it in no problem, but it was hard at first. It seems you might do better on the foam though!...
I have suffered "down there" for a long time and still have zero answers....

I had the same thing happen to me! Actually, my very first diagnosis was "reaction to anitbotics" - I got rid of that dr fast!...

I have been dealing with the same issue. I have been to the GYN so many times it is not even funny. I have had every test done and the only answer I get is that I have inflammation down there. My GYN...
Yes. Z pack does the same thing to me too....
My 5 year old just got over it. It was not that bad for her. I was given the Tamiful - so far so good! She was the only one in the house to get it. She still has a cough. I can see how the cough...
