I’m gradually making my way from using pads for about 3-4 years to using tampons. I’ve always had nervousness in talking about my period and the products because my friends made it clear that they all just went straight to tampons. Idk why I just didn’t like thinking of shoving something up there, maybe just losing it somehow, forgetting, or the possibility of TSS. 🤡

Anyways, recently my friends were saying how another friend only uses pads and that it’s kind of weird but then remembered I still use them too. It made me feel personally behind in maturing i guess since I’m 15. I know that everyone goes at there own pace and some prefer pads but in the moment it doesn’t really come to mind to think back to that.

So I’m working on remembering that periods are a natural thing that I shouldn’t be self conscious about. I also learned that tampons are actually not as bad as I thought. I thought you’d be able to feel it but I don’t even give a second thought about anything being there...until I have to pee.

That felt good to get off my chest. Thanks.😁
