I wanted to get the pearl slender tampons but I can't find them anymore. Did they discontinue them? Also when I try to put in a tampon it feels like it pinches me and I don't want to put one in if its going to rip anything or something. I know I am putting it in the right spot but anyone tell me why it feels like it is pinching me? Is it because my hymen is still intact?

Tampons with the plastic cover with 4 closed 'petals' at the end that open for the tampon to come out? Those pinched me - I hated them. Buy ones that are just fluff on the end. Your hymen might be in the way, it might not. You could put a little lubricant on the end.
I have no idea about pearl tampons, having hit menopause 16 years ago.

Yes, those things at the top of it might be the problem. Thanks :)
