Have you always used Tampons?

Have you always used tampons or did you switch from Pads to Tampons?

I've always used Tampons because they just seemed easier.

[PrincessC16]

I started out with pads because I started my period at the age of 10. 5th grade, yeah ikr, FML! So my mom didn't want me to wear tampons because she thought using them would encourage me to become sexually active🙄. So, I didn't start wearing tampons until 2nd grade. My aunt rented a beach house. Of course I wanted to swim like my cousins. So she finally let me try them. I remember how bad it hurt to put it in😖. Now as an adult that's all I wear except the occasional panty liner.

Yup from the time my periods first began I have used tampons.

[Paige90]

I have always used them from my first period when I was 13 until today. Sometimes I use panty liners the first day or two in addition to a tampon if there is heavy than normal bleeding that month.

I don’t want to risk toxic shock so I just stick with pads

[Laura131]

I'm still useing pads 😅

[itsannalee]

Nope, i only use pads.

[Paige90]

Why?

[itsannalee]

It’s easier to change them like for every 4 hours. I only use tampons if i need to sit for long periods like on the train or plane, but still put thin pads or panty liners. So I don’t need to be worry about if I don’t have time to change it.

Swimming?

[petitedollbabee]

I avoid using them when possible.

[PrincessC16]

Why do you avoid them?

[petitedollbabee]

Toxic shock risk, they’re uncomfortable and im always paranoid im going to bleed through them onto my clothing. I stick to pads.

[PrincessC16]

I see..

[Agape93]

Never. I didn't want toxic shock syndrome
