Lime Tampon

Do you think its dangerous at all, or risks TSS at all? Thanks!! PS how far do you stick it in?

 I used it like a normal tampon.. Nothing bad happened with me. I have seem some girls have UTI though.. 

TSS is when you are bleeding.. we haven't heard of anyone here getting that from what I have seen up till now.. 

 

How much lime juice do you let soak in? how long did you leave it in? Did you do the lime douche before?

Thanks! What did you do to sway, btw? urgh, im having an anovulatory cycle and im desperately praying for AF to come soon. Day 31, still not here.

I hope af comes for you soon!  I'm sure next month your cycle will go back to normal

So, I am not comfortable with using the lime tampon...like fearymay said some women are ok and some aren't...I'm just not willing to take that risk...kwim? 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH, it came this am, thank G-d!!!!! now i can plan my sway....i dont regularly use tampons...but im willling to give it a shot if its very important to the sway. what do you think? how important is it? Do you use it 4 hours after BD? Whats its reasoning?

you use it 4 hours after attempt and keep it in for 4 hours... before the tampon you should be checkign your pH every 30 min and using a small amount of lime douche if it is above a 5. if you are hardcore about your sway then i would use it if you don't have adverse reactions to it (YI). i am going to use it because i think whatever discomfort it brings is only temporary, and a DD is lifelong if it helps!!! so for me, it is a go! it is just a personal decision. it helps to keep your pH down until you are completely our of the O+12 window and done ovulating.

 BowsandRibbons-

I have been using the lime tampon for my attempts these past 7 months. They are very useful in keeping your ph down in the 4s. I am doing TBM (and not successful as you can see, but I am 40 and apparently have a cyst in my uterus which will be removed next month).

You make a douche of half lime, half distilled water and soak whatever tampon you wish in. There are times when I can't quite nail the 0+12 on the head so it is useful to hold down the ph those extra hours.

I have gotten YI from them. Others UTIs. so it depends.

GL to you.

Thanks so so much. how long do you have to soak it in the liquid for?

do you need to soak it in for a long time? Also, can you use it instead of inserting the 1-3 ml every half hour for 4 hours?

I don't understand why you do it 4 hours after the attempt. by taht point, arent all the sperm where they need to be? if you are not doing O+12, should you still do the lime tampon? what tampons are best? What level of absorbancy?
