Survey: pads or tampons?!


Question: Survey: pads or tampons!?
i used pads for the first 2 years!. i just tried a tampon and i like it a lot! which do you preferWww@Answer-Health@Com


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
-can be safely left in for up to 12 hours
-it's better for the environment
-it's cheaper
-it's cleaner and more hygienic (tampons are bleached and made of synthetic material)
-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 (;Www@Answer-Health@Com

well it all depends on you!. if your flow is bad and pads are not good enough then go with tampons but you also have the risk of TSS which is very real!. make sure you use the lightest absorbancy that you can and change it regularly!. i personally wear tampons all the time and never have any issues with them!. i do make sure that i dont keep them in that long though!. use whatever makes you feel comfortable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tampons - I feel so much cleaner when I use them compared to pads, and it gets rid of that HORRIBLE "gush" of blood that you feel if you're wearing a pad and been sitting down for a while then suddenly stand up -- gross!!! Definitely tampons, all the way!

Edit: and to all those people saying about toxic shock syndrome - the chances are around 1 in 100,000 of getting it - I'm willing to take that chance!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

When i was younger I used Pads, But i feel like i have a diaper on it it gives off that nasty blood smell


i love my tampons!!! you can still wear whatever you want without that uncomfortable feeling and you dont have to worry about other people seeing or feel like they can tell you have a pad on !!!


great choice, i love my tampons!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tampons when I'm out and about, but I like to use overnight pads for sleeping, if my flow is very heavy!. That way I don't have to keep waking up and changing my tampon!. Had my period for 15 years!.!. When I was younger I used pads, until I was about 16 and that's all my friend had, I've been a user ever since!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
