Tampons!

Tampons!

Hi ladies
Sorry for the TMI
Just wondering if anyone has had any dramas using tampons after giving birth. Baby is soon to be 8 months. And I used tampons the other day for the first time in forever. And it just seemed to slide right out. I put it in how I normally would, far as it could go, (like usual) and when I stood up and left the bathroom I thought what the hell? And it was sliding out. But then when I pulled it out it was dry or a teeny but dirty and felt like f***ing sandpaper!
Now. I have done and continue to do my Kegals, and (TMI) my husband reckons I don't feel any different, there are no other issues in that area other than this.

Pap smear and after birth check are all normal.
Any ideas?

(P.s. I do plan to go to the doctors, just looking for insight)

I am the same, can't use them, 8 years on, never went to the docs, let me know what you find out.

Yes! I managed to keep one in last month for my 12 month olds swimming lesson but that was a fluke.

I've had 2 kids and can't use the mini ones anymore so I went up to the regular ones, just be careful pulling it out dry as it can make u tear on the inside
