Tampax.... Help!

in My baby was born in May 09
Does anyone know when its ok to start using them again?

Dex is 11 weeks now, but Ive still not had my 8 week check up and my periods have started.


This is my second one since birth (I was a c-section) but I dont know if they are ok to use...and I really prefer them to towels!

Any ideas??

    Yeah should be okay to use. Generally the advice is to wait 6 weeks - as tampons can cause infection. But I'd say if you've already had a period then it should be fine. I've still not had a period and JJ is 10 weeks old today!

    Hiya,

    I've just had my 2nd one (lo is 11 weeks) and I used tampax this time. All fine though had to psyche myself up for it for some reason!!
