@ topic

PADS, no tampons for me embarassed I tried the tampons once, it was okay for a while and then it started getting painful, this might sound yucky, but I have rather heavy flows and I get a little bit of clot, I won't want that to be stuck up there without flowing freely.
The pads are not the most discreet things in the world but what options do I have, change as often as possible and keep myself clean.

You know, let's just say this and justify everything~ instead of reading comments that are bias smiley

Pads: They tend to get heavy, can be uncomfortable-but does not have the shock syndrome, also it gathers "clumps"
Tampons: Does not remind you that you're having your period, but keeps "clumps" within you that are meant to come out, really comfortable (if you know how to put it in), can cause infection

Both: Does not guarentee 100% leak free (when sitting, might not catch for pads, overflows for tampons, )


Conclusion: in the end, each person has it's own preferences, you can also try both switching from one to another to match your clothes (tampons are better with tight pants, cuz it doesn't show the shape of the pad)

i use pads cuz its more easy to wear nd its not painful, i don't really like tampons cuz its painful when u try to insert it in but both tampons nd pads r healthy.And if u forget to remove a tampon,u could get infected.

[center]LMAO @ mohawkchic

Except that same thing happened to me!!
Though I was 9/10
And i intentionally stuck the gluey part to myself- i mean that's how it stays on right?
Though, I never made a correlation between my dislike of pads and that incident
Hmmm-
I def, can;t stand pads- eww, so messy!
Ugh!

If tampons hurt you, you are using the wrong size
Yea, they do some in sizes! from Junior to Super Plus
Try a junior starter kit or something![/center]

I use pads, never tried tampons but I will in the nearest future. I'm just scared of 'em right now. Pads aren't that comfy either. undecided

Re: What Do You Use When On Your Period? Tampons Or Pads? by CALIF0RNIA(f): 7:54pm On Jun 21, 2007
Well, I personally use pads because im affraid that the tampon will become stuck inside me, and that it will have more of a chance of leaking. embarassed
