Tmi but need advice

Nicole • Carried my baby girl for 38 weeks had a csection and got to meet her on 12/23/2015 happy FTM 💜💚💙🎀
So I'm a ftm and had a csection a week ago I absolutely hate wearing pads and they are breaking me put in the down stairs area to my bottom. Why can't I just use a tampon if I didn't do a vaginal birth I'm more comfortable with tampons then pads. Any moms that can help me would be great.
