dreamingkat answered Tuesday June 7 2005, 12:07 am: Start with pads. You can buy disposable ones in the store, or make your own reusable ones. They come in a variety of sizes, but none should be worn for more than 8 hours at a time.
If you want to go swimming, or don't like pads for some reason, tampons and cups are both worn internally to collect the blood. If worn "around town" (not in water), many women also use a light pad in case their internal protection fails.
Tampons are disposable and work like pads in that they absorb the blood. They are not good for light days, as they are uncomfortable to remove when not completely full. Most should not be left in for more than 8 hours, but they do have directions on the box. It's very important not to keep a tampon in for longer than the box says to. A pad might smell a little, but a tampon can cause infection when left in too long.
Cups are reusable and can be used on light days too. They can be left in for up to 12 hours, then rinsed out and reinserted.
