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. >_> |

Tampons are awsome <3
You don't feel them, but you don't have to be scared that theyll get lost inside you or something. I hate the feeling of wearing a pad. It's like a diaper, so annoying. It makes me feel unclean, and it smells overtime. Ew. |

I'd have to say tampons. I used to use pads about.. two months ago? But tampons are much easier to use, and are wayyyyyy more convinient.

My mom never really wanted me wearing tampons when I first started. But pads are seriously disgusting. Tampons dont last that long for me, so I usually wear and tampon and a pad, because Im always nervous Im going to leak.
At first, I kinda freaked out about wearing tampons, the first few times I could kinda feel it, and it slipped out a little. About the third time, it was pretty comfortable. Dont use the big tampons to start out, because I didnt know about the different sizes, so I used a bigger one, and I thought I would never wear tampons again. But I tried the small ones and they work good. Even though they dont last the long. |

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.

I use a pad.
I will eventually use Tampons when I get my money. I hate pads because you leak and it's embarassing. |

Pads. My reason why is that I used to use Tampons alot, and change them regularly but one time I started getting headaches and got really dizzy. I was afraid that it had to do with the tampon and when I switched to a pad [the same moment I began getting these symptoms] the headaches and dizziness went away. Yes you have to change it every few hours but the hole can't be blocked for hours on end even if you are changing tampons. I suggest that if you are going to use tampons to still use a pad at least at night to give the vagina time to breath. [I hope no one finds this comment revolting. Just trying to help]
Plus if you change your pad every two to three hours you won't leak. Pads have to be changed as regulary as a tampon. |

It sounds uncomfortable, sticking something all the way up to plug your uterus with your finger :[[[[. PADS.

You can bearly feel them through out your day. As opposed to pads, you can feel it as you get up, or sometimes walk, or even move around. I found a new love for tampons two months ago

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