I am here to convince you that TAMPONS WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE 100000000X BETTER when you are on your period. Girls, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you use a tampon properly for less than 8 hours (or whatever your brand of tampons recommends) you will be FINE. Tampons DO fit comfortably (you should not be able to feel them while you are wearing them). If you do feel discomfort, it is not in far enough. There are specific instructions as to how far inside it should be. Tampons are much better than wearing female diapers, especially for sports. Sweat + pads = messy ew-iness. I recommend Playtex Gentle Glide for beginners. They are comfortable and do not hurt as much as Tampax Pearl when you pull them out (although I do admit the Pearl ones do not leak as much). Wearing tampons with a thin pantyliner is the way to go! What are pads good for? For when you're sleeping more than 6 hours. Wearing tampons during the day and a pad during the night (when you're sleeping) is the way to go! :] Plus tampons are easier to hide. >_> |

Pads - hands (or bottoms
![]() Tampons are insanely uncomfortable the first few times you use them. There's also the scare of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) although that's quite rare. Once you've used tampons a few times, your body adjusts to the intrusion and they can in fact be very useful and pretty comfortable. |
