I'm 22 and I had my first period when I was 12. Ever since then I have always used toilet paper instead of pads or tampons. I have endometriosis and tampons cause me way too much pain. I can't even walk IF I can get one in and I have to get the thick pads because I have an extremely heavy flow so linings of the pad cause rashes on my thighs(thick thighs ftw ;D) and I'm constantly changing the pad. Anyway, my only alternative has been toilet paper. I save money and it works. Only down side is I can never go swimming or to the beach when on my period. Does anyone else use toilet paper? Or am I freak lol
