Tampons vs. Pads

Vote!

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. >_>

Definitely tampons. They are SO comfortable. Although tampons are sometimes quite difficult to use if you're a virgin. My friends can never get them in.


Not true!!

If you do try the tampon for the first time though... make sure that:
a) you don't leave the applicator in xD
b) you change it when it's FULL or close to full... otherwise pulling it out doesn't feel so great.

ooh haha I just read this:

yeah dude when i first tried to put a tampon in [[call me weird and stupid..but i forgot to take the applicator out]]
*is embarrassed right now*
but after i noticed how uncomfortable that felt. i realized that wasn't suppose to stay in.
[[this didn't even last 5 minutes..just in case you were thinking i was walking around all day with the applicator in]]


ehhh... it took me like two minutes of walking around to realize it wasn't right but I still didnt know what I did wrong (instructions are so overrated). then i gave up and tried again 1 yrs later, read the instructions, and finally found out what i did wrong blush.gif

TRUE. I couldn't use tampons when I was a virgin. My virgin friends CAN'T use tampons. It's harder for virgins ... at least for virgins I know.
