When I put in my coil my gynae told me not to use tampons as the threads of the coil might get entangled in the tampon and get moved out of its place. This is a bit of a problem when you live where you can swim all year around....a certain time of the month I cant join the others in the pool. For this reason I have started looking into menstrual cups and I will be bying one to have delivered to sweden when Im there over Christmas. Right now I think it will be a MeLuna or a Fleurcup but will have to do more research before I make up my mind. Will let you know how it goes though!
