I've found it easier since giving birth (first baby) I do use plastic applicators so I don't know if that's why I find them okay still.
You might just need to give your PF a little bit longer to recuperate 😊 everyone’s anatomy is different and everyone recovers from childbirth differently so if it’s uncomfortable listen to your body.
I can’t use tampons and sex is incredibly painful. It started after my first pregnancy and has gotten worse with second. My nurse examined me and has suggested physio on improving pelvic floor
I feel the same! And like they really dry me out
