I just had a question for the trans-women out here who've had SRS

I've heard that there are less-common methods which constantly lubricate (as in, get to know and love the tampon), but if such an animal exists, it's very uncommon, and probably for a reason.

Personally, I don't self-lubricate, so I keep a couple small packets of single-serving lube in my bag right next to the condoms (No, I'm not promiscuous, I just believe in being prepared, boy scout motto, amirite?).

If I've just dilated in the past 24 hours, then I probably have enough leftover lube to get by, but it's not something to count on.

I understand this method involves grafting in a segment of intestinal mucus membrane tissue, which will continually lubricate.

yeah, colon graft. it's a more invasive and expensive surgery and does constantly lubricate (to what extent i don't know and probably varies; also constant tampons could lead to toxic shock) but for some people it's their only option to obtain satisfactory depth and plenty of people have been happy with it.

The toxic shock risk of tampons was primarily with the Rely tampon, which was supposed to be used for the entire duration of the menses (so up to a week). Modern tampons, with frequent changing, don't seem to lead to TSS unless someone forgets they're up there (which is rare, but can happen).

thanks for that. i'm still not so sure you'd want to use one constantly though, though pads aren't fun or sexy either. hopefully someone who has had colon graft vaginoplasty can chime in.

When I used tampons, I developed TSS despite changing them regularly.

However there is also a high complication rate, as explained to me by my surgeon when detailing that as a possible thing in my future :/
