Tampons vs. Pads Options

[*SinfullySweet*]

^ROFL. WTF.

[YaGurlSukedMe2SL...]

I prefer other. You see, when I hit that time of month, I tend to panic and grab the first absorbing thing I can.

Yeah thats the last time I stick my ..... in your .....

Tampons.
Way more comfortable than pads.

[Pan-Duh09]

hmmm, well tampons look more uncomfortable.
[in my opinion]

[Joss-eh-lime]

I didn't vote because i cant even get a freakin tampon in.
and believe me, I've tried.

[TimeZonesAway]

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]]
but the first couple of times putting a tampon in may be confusing // hard.
but trust me; they are MUCH easier.
but i know also that instead of having to change in the middle of the day. like in school or whatever. cause i know some tampons recommend only like 4-6 hours of usage.
then wearing a tampon and a pad may be really helpful.

tampons ya just gotta get used to.
and besides- with pads. it gets all over the pubic hair too
[[sorry if im making this uncomfortable]]
at least it does for me though.
so with a tampon at least it doesn't leave the vagina.
[[again; sorry if im being uncomfortable]]

i just dont want to refer to my pubic hair as the "furry stuff"
or my vagina as the "you know what"
too middle school for me.

Pads. If I may say so , Michelle your essay was rather convincing. :)

[x_curse_of_the_c...]

Tampons.


I must be able to swim.

[dustbunny]

i use both, depending on my mood. tampons can be a pain in the ass when they leak, which they like to do when i use them.

[HakunaMatata]

I agree that tampons make the hassle less...hassling. But I've had 2 bad experiences with tampons. I'd have to go with pads.

Oh, me too. I've only used a tampon twice, and I'm sure with more use I'd eventually get used to it and begin to prefer it buuuut the second time sprouted a panic attack that I am not willing to risk repeating. I'll use a tampon if I have to, like if I'm going swimming, but otherwise, pads are for me.

Buuut I don't want to scare anyone into being like "OMG what went wrong with you MUSSST go wrong with me i don't want to try ittttttt". Because really, what went "wrong" was my fault, I'm just being paranoid more. Even though I prefer pads, I do encourage to at least give tampons a try. (:

[na-nancy]

TAMPONS ARE SCARY!!!
well...at least to me!
i can't imagine sticking that THING up my U KNOW WHATS!
0_0.....gives me goosebumps!
i dunno if i'd try it...0_0
maybe i'll just stick to pads for nows....> <

Pads - hands (or bottoms ) down.

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.

lol you make it sound so bad like you're going to hell it.
you're suppose to use little baby ones like O.B

[a lot smaller than that] then gradually go to regular ones and it won't hurt as much.
i hate the feeling a pad would give. it's like rolling around in your blood

Those things are impossible. I've tried.

[S-Majere]

They are impossible.

[miyashu]

i've only tried a tampon once (tampax pearl) and while it was easier to use, it hurt the entire time that i had it in. and i had to frequently check if it was still in place; i was paranoid that it would slip out or something.

i'll probably try playtex gentle glide next time.

[superficial]

I prefer pads.

[claudbaybay]

both
but i use pads more

[Elleusion]

I use pads because of my 7th grade health class. They told us all really freaky stories about tampons, and I still can't trust tampons now...

[1angel3]

I say pads. I still fear tampons a little bit but I'm trying get use to them

[Sandraaa]

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. ><

I feel uncomfortable in pads especially at night. Or when I sit for a while then get up! It rushes. Eww.

I'm still a virgin

[MissHygienic]

Sometimes, you just need them both. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

[silentriot]

I wear pads because when I use tampons I don't know how far to go and usually I don't put it in far enough so I feel like I have a finger just hanging out down there.
Not Fun.

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:

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
