When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

I have seen this product on
I have seen this product on commercials, and am not impressed with the idea. Looks like another gimmic to get women to spend money. Even if it did work, you would have to keep a tampon inside you all the time, and that doesn't seem healthy for one thing, and for another, it would keep the vaginal passage open all the time. Further, if you have a more severe prolapse, it won't stay in anyway.
Christine has actually come up with a wonderful video on urinary incontinence that is well worth checking out.
I have read through all your older posts, and I am not seeing that you have indicated doing the whole woman work. It's never too late to get started with Christine's methods, because whole woman posture is what helps us the most with prolapse as well as urinary incontinence, our hips, and all over body well being.

General tampon question.... Are they bad during cycle?
On the issue of keeping the vaginal canal open I've been wondering about tampon use during a period. I have always used tampons as I have very heavy bleeds for the first 3/4 out of 7 days so I can't imagine using only pads but is this detrimental to my body? I couldn't bear using pads and feeling the constant gush every time I stand up!!!! Thoughts? sside from the 'kicked in the groin' feeling on days 1-2 I generally feel pretty good during a period.

tampon
That is a hard question that I have pondered myself. Knowing what I know now, if I were still menstruating I would not give up tampons, for all the reasons you state (I wore two of them side by side on my heavy days - surely that didn't help matters!). But you can bet I would be diligent with posture. Tampons were pushing out during my later pre-meno days, and I wonder if proper posture would have kept them in position? Others here could answer that from experience I'm sure. - Surviving

I tend to agree, tampons worn
I tend to agree, tampons worn on the heavier days along with a big pad was the only thing that saved me from having bloody pants, but after a time I couldn't keep them in anymore. Luckily, my periods haven't been that heavy as of late.
I think that it would really be ok to wear them on heavy days, changing them often. My concern is wearing them all the time for prolapse, or in the poise example for incontinenece, wouldn't necessarily be such a good idea for health of the vagina or for prolapse in the long term.

Tampons, Etc.
I recently saw a post on my FB page. A petition to Monsanto. And at that time, I read this -- "85% of tampons and feminine hygiene products contaminated with cancer-causing glyphosate herbicid".
I did some googling and read that herbicides are in cotton balls, q-tips, wipes, pads. gauze. Also read that to be safe, a person should only use organic feminine products.
Interestingly, I have been wondering whether tampons would also keep the vagina open. And if they would contribute to prolapse. Or, the natural sponge tampons.
When younger and I had my period ..... once tampons came on the market, I used two of them and also a sanitary pad, but still had blood leaks.
