I would like to know what the difference is between using a tampon and using a pad for girls when they have their periods.
Pads are good if you're just hanging out around the house. I don't think they're good for going out and about with friends and such. You're always worried about if you leaked or not and it feels like you're wearing a diaper. They're very uncomfortable and I prefer tampons over pads.
Tampons go inside your vagina, so there's really no mess with blood and what not. You're able to do everything you want to do; even go swimming. They're also great for when you go to sleep at night, you won't have to worry about leaking everywhere.
EDIT: Actually, I haven't put tampons in, in the past. I've just started wearing tampons. Before, I was scared to have a tampon in me. Now, I realize how comfortable they are, that's why I switch. Plus, the mess is gone, which is great! ♥
(Rating: 5) Thank you for your answer. I want to know if you have been able to put in a tampon in the past?
