Hey their boys and gals I’m recently on my period and for those of you gals what do you think of tampons? My virgin self can’t bring my self to use a tampon but I hate sitting in my own blood. Though I’ve tried to use a tampon but it hurt. And in general what do you think about periods.
I used pads when I first got my period and hated them as they felt like diapers. As I got older into my later teens I used Tampons as they were more comfortable for me and easier to deal with. However, I really stopped wanting to waste money on tampons as I have an irregular period and it has always been heavy so I go through a lot. In the past cou...... reply
For me, tampons only become uncomfortable if my flow isn't heavy enough. Try only using them during your heaviest flow days and start off with smaller ones and a panty liner. reply
I love seeing the environmentalists here. I switched to cloths pads that are much softer and more absorbent than the plastic ones and when I'm home I just toss them in the washing machine and presto they are clean and ready to go again. After reading about the diva cup though, I think I might try it, I have always been too nervous to try a tampon b...... reply
So far I've only ever used pads. Tampons are uncomfortable for a lot of people, only work when you've got a heavy flow and can get dangerous if the string breaks or you don't take it out within a certain amount of time. I don't get how cups work but they sound terrible. reply
Another option is a silicone cup. I can’t use a tampon, because I feel like I’m sitting on a stick, and a pad feels so unclean. While a cup is still something you put inside you, I find it much more comfortable. But you have less garbage to throw away, saves money as it’s reusable, and I can tell you is so comfortable I forget about it and ma...... reply
I will only ever use pads even if it's uncomfortable. Tampons cost more and I'm not gonna stick my finger up just to get it out if the string breaks, plus I have a heavy irregular flow. I'm also not gonna wear those underwear that absorbs blood or use those cups. If I'm done with pads I'll just go with pills. reply
I personally can’t use them because they make my cramps 1000x worse, but when I could use them they were much cleaner and they’re honestly not too hard to use? Tampons shouldn’t hurt though!! I’d make sure to check you’re using them right 1 reply
I have been using a menstrual cup for years now and i promise its not as gruesome as it sounds/seems. its super confortable, convenient and relatively stress free once you get the hang of it. I use a pad alternatively only if i have forgotten to carry the cup around during the time leading upto my periods. other than that its the menstrual cup for ...... reply
