Both, but pad if I'm feeling lazy. I can't put in a tampon and not have a pad, it always leeks. I just like the tampon if I'm super heavy so it doesn't gett all clotted and what not.



Because it's daunting. Your a virgin, it's something your sticking in a very, very tight hole. It hurts at first, it feels weird. Am I putting it in right? Why does it feel this way? OH GOD AM I CROOKED?

It's not just like we can hold it and examine it. It's inside your body which is scary when your just starting. Also, there is a slight chance you could get very sick if you don't change them often.

I use Tampax Pearl, and I could never go back to using pads now.

Sometimes I actually forget I'm on my period, although I do always manage to remember that I'm wearing a tampon, thank goodness.

^I agree, does wonders for me.

pads!

Definatly tampons - it means that when you're out with friends you're way less consious about it and you can enjoy yourself a lot more... most of the time you forget that it's even there.

pad. tampon was incredibly uncomfortable.

Some girls are afraid because it goes inside you. Others are afraid because if you dont change it you can get TSS (toxic shock syndrome) and others are afraid it might get stuck.

Tampon. Way comfortable. Pads..ew.

I use pads... Even though I can feel it I feel more confident knowing I am protected... I tried tampons but I just didnt feel protected with them...

MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR PADS?

YOU GUYS ARE f**king RETARDS


JK

I just started to use tampons and never ever again
gonna use pads.

Well the chances of you getting TSS are soooo slim, especially if you aren't an idiot and change your tampon.

I don't use anything



Muharharhar.

Hurm, so I was thinking, I think that companies should start making a suction machine to like extract all the blood and the layer of your uterus, so this way, there will be no need for pads or tampons.

And this thread wouldn't even exist. Theoretically speaking.

Pad.
My mom's against using tampons.
She's afraid I might lose my virginity that way.

Personally, I'm afraid of sticking things up there anyway.

@ the 7 people who voted for the 3rd choice: Please explain to me this 'alternative choice'

Anyway, I'm a pad girl.

Pads.

^x2 Obviously it's either newspapers or random pieces of cardboard..

I believe I have already said I use pads.

I use both (not at the same time, mind you). Just depends on whatever my mom buys I guess.

I hate pads, they feel so disgusting.

I post earlier about tampons.
Ive tried some of my friends, they were a lot smaller and fit in pretty easy and i couldnt really notice it. But I went swimming for about an hour and I almost leaked..

Wow i cant believe everyone uses pads! I cant stand those, it gives me a very unfresh feeling. Plus it's annoying! And you dont feel tampons anyway, less chance on leaking, so i use tampons.

i used pads when i was younger, i felt like a duck waddling around lol. so i use tampons now...

I've had my period for over 3 years, I got it when I was just about to turn 12 so I was very afraid of shoving anything up there.

I used pads until very recently when I finally decided I wanted to try tampons, I had tried tampons with cardboard applicators and they always hurt so it always scared me to try again until recently when I got the tampax pearl multipax. Those things are amazing, never ever going back to pads.

^Lol. Pads all the way, simply because I'm a wimp and my period is no time to experiment.

i use pads, simply because they're easier...i dont have time 2 go fiddling up my vagina at all, especially when i'm bleeding!

PAds just because it's mucheasier and tampons aren't for me.

Pads. I'm not comfortable with using tampons.

Tampons. Definatly. Pads gross me out.

^^Same here. Pads are all messy and gross xD

Although, I usually double up and use both.

People who are too scared to try tampons...Just do it, they're SO much better. A lot less to worry about, since you don't have to be afraid of bleeding off the pad. Or maybe that's just me. BUT STILL, they're a lot better. xD

^ Exactly.

And don't start off with cardboard tampons in size super plus. Try playtex gentle glide or someother brand that has a plastic applicator in the smallest size you can find and practice when you aren't on your period first if you don't get it the first time then thats to be expected.

ALWAYS tampons. I never go with pads. Number one, they're SO FREAKIN' uncomfortable. I don't care what anyone says. It's terrible. Plus, I don't wear underwear so it wouldn't stay anyway. lol. I only wear boxers sometimes.

I use pads, I'm afriad the tampons is going to get stuck up in me.

tampons.

i f**kin hate pads.
i think theyre disgusting

day: tampon.
night: pad.

Pads. I've never tried tampons before. I'm scared of having it get stuck up there. Once I received tampons in the mail.

that seems complicated

wow... looooots of young'uns here there's this cool thing called a "diva cup"... google it! my friend swears by them... it's like this silicone cup thing that comfortably fits in your girly bits and it decreases the risk of TSS and it's rinse and reuse... it sounds kinda gross at first, but she swears they're the best thing in "feminine products"

PADS!
cmon....i cant even imagine using a tampon
and stickin it up my...........
