I know I moan a lot about the ladies' toilets so I'll give credit where it's due...

    I talk about Periods quite a lot, especially to the wife once a month, when I have to tell her to ‘calm the **** down, you’re going a bit mental over an empty toilet roll being left in the bathroom’.

    And ‘ok then you’ll have to give me a blow job’.

    We are really quite open about it all and I’m incredibly understanding.

    The budget ones noteably aldi and wilkos are made in the same factory as the premium ones...

    Are they made to the same spec though or just in the same building on different lines? Mars makes chocolate and dog food in the same factory but I wouldn't eat those interchangeably. I used to use the Wilko ones regularly when I was a poor student, they’re ok at a push or if you only have light periods but nowhere near as good as the premium ones. Tampax Pearl (non-compact) are so much better than the other brands that I’ve stocked up about 2 year’s worth in case they stop selling them. If anyone ever looks in the top of my wardrobe they’ll think I’m insane.

    Given that they are a regulated medical product...

    Are you honestly implying that they are all the same? I'm guessing you know very little about them if you are. Period products are completely different from each other, even within the same brand, they have different amounts of absorbency, material of applicators, scents, shape etc. There's just no way they are the same and I don't mean just in my opinion. Buy a Wilko one and buy a branded one and just physically look at it and you'll be able to see that they are very, very different. They are regulated in that they have to be safe, yes but they don't have to be identical. It's not the same as when buying none branded paracetamol, for example, which has the exact same ingredient and strength listed on the packet as none branded.

    ETA: That doesn't mean some women don't actually prefer the none branded ones, my point of our discussion is that the fact they are made in the same factory means nothing - not that branded ones are necessarily best (although I've found that they are for me).

    Theres four different types of tampon.
    Two different types of application.
    Some are scented. Some arnt. Some are even lubed for easier insertion.
    They are rated using a drop system for absorbtion.
    All brands regardless have to carry the same warnings over toxic shock, material compositions and their rating v levels of discharge.
    Some even allow you to ride a horse while on your cycle.

    Regardless, they are all based around the same materials be it cotton fibres chlorine bleach free cotton viscose mesh or a comination of the two.

    All have to be made against strict industry and regulatory standards.

    Now I'd pay good money to see that. Are we talking BMX, mountain or uni?

    Quality balancing, that.

    Thanks for that Jamdrop. She actually had her appointment with the specialist today, and luckily it doesn't look like there is any underlying issues that have caused it. It just seems to have, well, come on if you pardon the pun.

    It just proper freaked me out. It was bad enough dealing with a 13 year old that is impossible to have a civilized conversation with, never mind a 5 year old who doesn't understand why she is having these mood swings etc...

    Cheers mate! It looks like we will be going down the hormone blocker route. Just worried about the issue it will cause to her height. With her being a girl though her hight would be as big a deal as it would with a boy...

    Yep, I'd suggest losing a few inches in height is a small price to pay for a normal childhood. We've had the opposite problem, our daughter is five-foot and in size 4.5 shoes - we should have started earlier!
