Do you still use pads instead of tampons?

Question

Curious how many other girls in here just use pads. I personally only use pads.. when ever I forget supplies and ask someone for a pad I tend to get an "eww gross use a tampon" remark. Why is that the stigma of using pads and such glorification of using tampons?

Answer

I have never used a tampon in my life. It's extremely frustrating, I have bought the smallest tampons that are manufactured and I CANNOT get it inside of me and just trying to is excruciating.

Answer

I use both but I definitely use pads more than tampons. I feel like they're more convenient for me.

Answer

I use pads at home but tampons when I have to leave the house.  I do prefer pads.

Answer

I used to use both but ever since i started birth control my periods dont even really get heavy enough to use tampons or pads, i just use pantiliners the whole time.

Answer

Have you ever tried a tampon? I find them 100% better and would never use anything else when I am out of the house (I do use pads when I am hanging about inside sometimes). I think most people feel the same way which is probably why you get that response !!!

Answer

I only Recently stopped using only pads because I hate sitting in my own blood for a while. It seems to get more messy with just a pad.

You can try the diva cup, tampons are very convenient. Especially if you have a swimming day or something planned.

I don't think pads are gross but I did notice that I would have blood all over my underside including my booty lol.  Which is harder to clean up.

Once you use tampons, you probably wouldn't stop.  They're lovely. 
Best of luck.

Answer

I use only tampons (aside form dyer birth when you HAVE to wear pads) a lot of times people will wear a pad too long and they get full and smelly, pads feel like diapers and some people don't like the thought of sitting in their own blood all day.
