I get horrible cramps when using tampons, but don’t want to be stuck using pads for the rest of my life, what should I do?

A different product! Pads and tampons aren’t your only options. Try discs, cups, period underwear, and reusable pads. The first two are internal products, if you’re wanting something more similar to a tampon. Discs sit higher in your vagina, into the fornices, not the canal, so they’re often more comfortable for people who have issues with tampons.
