never knew there was such a thing. i feel her though. i am a para so i can myself and this is a very personal thing, but i had a great boyfriend and when my accident first happened he put them in and took them out. it was embarassing for me but he assured me he loved me and not to feel bad. maybe you could do it for her. get some gloves. if she is like me she doesn't wanna wear pads they are just nasty to me, so help her out.

Don't know if this is a reality yet but there were others when I put in a search with the words - tampon inserter tool -. So you see there are some thoughts out there I just don't know if they are available.

Short Search

Anyway; I feel her pain. How embarrassing no matter how close you two are some people prefer to be independent with the more personal matters.

Good luck :bye:

Some things are better not shared. It is not sexy, it is not romantic. If you can find her something, great.
