What do you use when you have your period?

[Anonymous]

Soo personally I only tried out pads, then for a while I used tampons and actually I had a vaginal fungus cause of a tampon that I had in for 4 hours and after that I never again used a tampon!
I'm back to the good old pads, even when they can be uncomfortable tho... so wbu?

I use pads

I use tampons

I use a menstrual cup

Other...

[DizzyDesii]

Even though I can eventually take a dick once i’m extremely turned on, I cannot take a tampon. I’ve tried to insert one twice in life and just can't. It hurts. Pads feel disgusting but i usually wear those. And i flow heavily so i have to change it like 3 times a day

[Andro36]

I agree. Hate tampons too

[Asker]

Yeaaah feel that one haha I can only use a tampon when I'm on my first day and really bleeding heavily

[Abd715]

How do you know when it’s time to change a pad or tampon?

[SweetFyter]

Well, I voted... and I'm pretty open on here about everything ('cept my name and location - HA) but, sorry, I just feel like this is a choice I don't think needs to be public. Can't say why because I don't KNOW why.

[SweetFyter]

Thank you, @melanieeeB, for the MHO!!

[larry69]

I believe tampons and menstrual cups are the cleanest.. my opinion.

Used to work with all women and strippers

[KatieB713]

Fun fact and tampons, if not changed regularly enough a women can be seriously ill

[larry69]

Oh yes menstrual products should be changed about every 4 hours

[Anpu23]

Wife uses wither a menstrual cup or period panties.

[Saarr]

I use tampons during the day and pads at night. Tampons make you feel less like you are on your period. Lol I don't know if that makes sense, but it makes me feel more free, I get less irritated etc. But yeah, the night is too long for a tampon. I would like to try a cup, but it just seems kinda messy...

[larry69]

A lot of my female swear by tampons by day and menstrual cups at night.. you can sleep a full night and not worry about your sheets with a cup!!

[Saarr]

That sounds awesome, I might purchase one...

[larry69]

I used to work in gentlemens clubs with all females and the menstrual cup is a life changer and the women almost forgot about periods.. it is a longterm money saver too

[wheresmrcunnunglis]

menstrual cup as of a few months ago and I truly wish I would have stumbled upon it earlier in my life. It has been a game-changer for me and a good investment. The only thing that I still have to get used to is how to place it seamlessly where it creates the perfect seal on the first try.

Removal is easy, just sit over the toilet and tug it out, ha! Then clean it out using their prescribed wash and reinsert. My wallet has been crying happy tears since the transition.

[larry69]

Lots of women have switched to menstrual cups. Strippers and waitresses swear by them.

[laurieluvsit]

A & B but never anything with chemicals in it.

Only organic all natural goes near my private parts :)

[Lucy68]

Pads, I use strictly pads. Never used a tampon, not even once

[Paige90]

Why pads? Why haven't you used tampons?

[honeynut-scenarios]

The first time I used a tampon, I fainted because I was so nervous. I rarely ever get a period now after taking birth control, but if I need something, a tampon is my go to.

[Daniela1982]

You don't get a fungus from a tampon that was in for only 4 hours. I might buy 4 days without changing it.

[Cherry234]

I use pads. They seem like they're more comfortable than tampons. I've never used tampons or menstrual cups.

[JoyGirl]

I use pads.
Tampons don’t fit, and my flow will certainly be too heavy for them, anyways. As for menstrual cups, that shi sounds disgusting, and unsafe. The blood is supposed to flow out, not held in…

[Paige90]

Cups are very safe and great for the environment. Tampons are much more unsafe.

[Apulu_3]

Pads. Tampons aren't available in my area easily. Menstrual cups are also not available but in wonder how does that big thing goes inside.

[theothersider]

they are really flexible you kind of fold it in half this stick it in there kind of like a tampon. then it opens up... I don't like them though as they for me anyway make a mess getting them out.

[EmmaMary]

I'm most definitely a tampon girl during the day, and a pad girl at night.

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

Same

[LotteGermany]

I use peds on the first to days when there is the most blood and the rest if the time I use. Tampons

[sweethrtx]

Period underwear. I've never used a tampon or a cup, but I prefer period underwear over those.

[Apple1996]

A mix of both pads and tampons. Usually do tampons during the day, pads at night

[Alwayreckles93]

Ok know this has nothing to do with the subject. But from your post I know you are a mom. Did you had any issues with baby formula? You know Similac are having recalls. Similac formula has course some serious health issues with babies.

[Apple1996]

@Alwayreckles93 I've heard about the recalls. And no my son is 100% breastfed and doesn't use formula

[Anonymous]

Pads as ai have trouble inserting things up my vagina.

[Paige90]

I use to use tampons but about 18 months ago I started using a menstrual cup and I love it!

[KatieB713]

Pads if it is really bad, but honestly nothing most of the time...

[lovedejj_xo]

I don’t get my period anymore since I control my birth control and don’t take the sugar pills. When I did I used tampons ….

[LC123]

I use both pads and tampons, depending on what I will be doing that day

[annabananna]

Tampons. I don’t want to feel the pad rubbing against my legs.

[Hangry06]

Pads always.
I have been thinking about menstrual cups but the thought is scary

[Lovesims3plumbob]

used only pads because of my learning disabties but did get some pad rash. now i got cotton brands pads.

[OffGrid217]

I use pads. I'm on the Nexplanon birth control implant, but I still have occasional bleeding.
I really like the Always brand Flex Foam pads with wings. Very cozy for me; I never feel like I'm wearing a diaper.

[Nagahime]

I use pads. I don't like the idea of having things stuck in my vagina lmao.

[Paige90]

Then you must not like sex!

[Nagahime]

@Paige90 I've never had it so

[Crucis84]

How does the cup work? Nevermind, I don't want to know.
Is it like the three seashells in 'Demolition Man'?

[Anonymous]

So like when I first started getting my periods I used to struggle with pad, I was not comfortable with it at all then my friend suggested me to use tampons and I was comfortable with it so since then I haven’t used pads.

[Anonymous]

Pads and sometimes tampons.
Curious about other options though. The cup seems daunting but I would try it

[larry69]

Try the cup much better than pads

[tponderingundead]

i use pads. i don't like the thought of plastic being shoved up my vagina.

[theothersider]

tampon in the day pads at night.

[supercutebutt]

I use a gentleman's mouth. :)

[oklomia]

Same.

[dustybiker]

Cups are sanity savers.

[allielynn]

i hardley ever use pads, i've always used tampons

[Ninania]

A mix of all, depends on what feels best.

[humanearth]

I drink beer

[dustybiker]

So funny.

[XXblack88]

Tampons and Pantie liners

[Backseatvibing]

[Crucis84]

[Crucis84]

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]
