What Do You Use When On Your Period? Tampons Or Pads?

Very special ladies! 

@ topic

PADS, no tampons for me 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.

paddies

it depends,i use tampons when i wear white pants\trousers.

 
ok so im a 7th grader and im on my period <well of course> and i HATE pads but ive got no idea with the tampons i know how to put in and take out but how do you know when to take them out, do they hurt when you do,  how do you know the right size of the tamponyou should use, and how far do you stick em up???                                                 


                                                                                   PLEASE get back to me

tampons.
seriously pads weigh me down and i am so concious of them. checking and rechecking on it. drives me crazy. with tampax u forget u are on your period and you go about your daily activities.why would anyone use anything else? 

hi all,

I always use pad and i thaught is the best, pls enlight me on this tampons.
give me details about and let me know where to get it.   

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.

Pads all the way .

~Am goin to share a story w/you guys,am LMAO already,when i was about 8 goin 12,lol,i got really really curious as to what was in that packet i see in my mum's drawer,so naturally,a child's curiousity got the better off me,i got one pad out,stuck it on my undies,only,i stuck it the wrong way , oooh jeez,i had it on for an hour,obviously,it wasnt comfortable,and it had started to hurt,i went to the loo to take it off,and u know what,i wudnt come off,i went screamin to my mum ,ooh i have never been more embarrassed,to teach me a lesson,my mum yanked it off so hard,lmao,i cried hard too,lol,needless to say i never touched a pad again till i was sixteen!!!

~So Tampax it is for me and always been ~ somehow have never been able to convince any of my girlfriends to use it,to this day,i havent one convert,lol,its always the assumption that it hurts,but it so doesnt,its discret to carry around too,but again i guess its what you're comfortable with

those of you who say tampons are painful obviously have never tried it. hear say!

after wanking right? 

woah so u bleed too?

I use 2 tampons and one pad cos my flow is so damn heavy.

pads ofcourse.

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.
