Thanks Nelle, I'll work on getting more 'squatty'

WRT an applicator - its a cardboard tube twice as long as the tampon. The tampon is held in the bottom half, you insert the applicator til it won't insert no more, then push the inner half of the applicator into the outer one, which should technically then place the tampon directly in front of your cervix. The you can remove extremely messy applicator and throw it in the bin. Meant for people like me who have long vaginas and short fingers
