Answers:
A sanitary towel is stuck on your pants so that the flow will go directly into the towel and be sucked into it!. However, it needs to be changed regularly to avoid bad smells and leaking!.Sanitary towels have been around since the dawn of time but were probably in the form of rags and actual towels!. Like tampons, there are different types of them depending on your menstrual flow!.You also cannot go swimming if you are wearing a sanitary towel either!. A few brand names are;

*Kotex
*Always

A tampon is different!. It is placed inside of you through the hole where the blood comes out!. At first it can be difficult for girls who have just started their periods but can be used normally with a little time!. Some never use a tampon as it runs the risk of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) http://www!.toxicshock!.com/ !. There is also a risk of your hymen breaking if you use a tampon but this is usually very rare!. However, many religious girls refuse to use them as the hymen is the signal to a virgin!. The tampon sucks up the blood and expands gently inside of you so as not to give you any discomfort!. Some people use both tampons and sanitary towels at the same time so they can be extra safe!. You can go swimming with tampons but it is not recommended to sleep with one inside of you as they need changing regularly to avoid TSS (see above)

Brand names;

*Lillets
*Tampax

A sanitary napkin is something you place in your underwear and it catches the blood (you can get different types of pads, depending on how heavy your flow is) and a tampon is something you insert inside your vagina!.

Sanitary napkins should be changed at least every 8 hours (it also prevents leaking or any smell), whilst tampons should be changed at least every 4 hours or so!. Tampons are very popular when people want to go swimming or go out somewhere, but it is important to wash your hands before and after inserting it, as this can risk the user getting TSS!.

Usually, on the sanitary napkin, there is a bit of paper, that is peeled off to reveal the sticky side!. You then stick this on your underwear and sometimes, they have wings, which can also stick to the side of your underwear, so it is more secure!. Tampons are inserted by using the inserter to push up the wool/cotton (the bit that has a bit of string attached to it) and it is important to never insert the cardboad bit, just the bit with the string attached!. A bit of the string should be visible, so that when it is time to change, you can tug on this string to remove the tampon!.
