    I usually workout anyway, but my intensity is not as high when its heavy. I started using menstrual disks recently instead of tampons and they seem to help me with cramping quite a bit. I don't feel them at all when working out or during the day. Softcup I think is what its called. Also love them because can have non-messy "relations" .... sorry off topic.

    I hear it is easier to workout with tampons compared to pads. I only wear pads, so if its the first 1-2 days of my period I opt out of the gym mainly because my training sessions requires a lot of jumping. I don't get cramps, normally.

    ugh. that makes it worse for me. tampons make the cramps worse.

    I can't use most brands of tampons like Tampax - they are too long for me, which is uncomfortable. I like OB - they are much shorter and their biggest sizes are wider, so this works for my shape and heavy flow. I also have two sizes of menstrual cups.
