Making the pad to tampon switch

I have been thinking about tampons lately and they seem like such less of a hassle than pads. I hate having to go to the bathroom every 4 hours to take like 10 minutes to change my pad, seeing so much blood on the pad, blood dripping on the floor and toiled just sitting down to go to the bathroom. I also can't exercise when I'm wearing pads and,during school I have PE every other day! My period is over all the most stressful part of the month. What would you recomend for me(diva cup, tampon, stay with pads,etc.)?
