Tampons to control discharge?

[Blush]

So I have just enough discharge through the day to need to use light pads or liners...

But I'm just wondering if tampons are alright to use so it's not so uncomfortable in my panties? Will it dry me out too much?

I have heard some nightmare stories about Tampons post GRS, they tend to do way too much drying but something similar might work, not sure how a menstrual cup will be.

Yes, I would NOT risk it, both because of drying and because tampons can trap bacteria; not quite as much of an issue for a cis woman (menstruation changes the Ph of the vagina and the blood provides a cleansing mechanism to some degree), but even they are advised not to wear a tampon too long just in case.
