Tampons VS. Pads; Which one do you prefer? Why?!


Question: Tampons VS. Pads; Which one do you prefer.? Why.?
ThanksHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
Neither (:

I prefer my divacup because..
-it's comfortable (you can't even feel it's there when it's inserted properly)
-no string to pee on
-no risks of leaking (it opens up all around and has a suction protection seal)
-no risk of TSS
-it's better for the environment
-it's cheaper
-it's convenient (i don't ever have to make a last minute run to the store for tampons or worry about stashing a box of tampons in my bag on trips)
-it's better for the sea creatures (do you know how many tampon applicaters get thrown onto beaches.? yuck!)
-no need to waste my money on something i will buy and then throw away
-if i'm ever stranded on a desert island i won't bleed everywhere, whereas all of you disposables-addicted will (;Health Question & Answer

Tampons!
1-you can't feel them
2-you can wear them and swim
3-they don't leave a mess like pads do
4-sometimes pads make me feel like i have a diaper rash or something
5-they don't feel like they're stuck to you're buttocks all day long
6-you don't have to worry about your pad moving out of placeHealth Question & Answer

I prefer pads because my period is not consistently heavy enough for tampons. I have used tampons a few times when swimming, and I just don't feel that comfortable with them. As long as you change them regularly, you will not get the odor and mess. Health Question & Answer

I use both.

I use tampons during the day as I move around a lot and don't feel "secure" wearing a pad.

I use pads at night because I don't think one should leave a tampon in for any longer than 4 hours - and I'm not disturbing my beauty sleep to change a tampon!Health Question & Answer

Tampons. First off, I feel fresher and cleaner. Second, there is less chance of a leak onto your outer clothing, especially if you also wear a panty shield on your heavier days. Plus I hate the feeling of"gushing" on heavy days. Hands down - my choice is tampons.Health Question & Answer

Tampons, I feel like I have more protection than a pad and I can leave them in longer. also, even if a pad is super, it really doesn't do much more than a regular. also, my cramps aren't as bad with tampons. Health Question & Answer

I prefer pads. It's natural and it lets all the blood flow out.

But Tampons, they keep alot of the blood traped in because it has no where to go and the little tissue thing doesn't catch THAT much blood


PADS (ultra thin)Health Question & Answer

i like tampons because i agree with answer number one, but when i'm at school i don't have time to go to the bathroom, so i use pads most of the time.Health Question & Answer

Pads cos I don't like shoving stuff up there, esp. some thing made of cotton or whatever. It's too dry and not appealing. Plus, I'm still worried it'll leak and have to wear a liner anyway, so why not just the pad.?Health Question & Answer
