good luck! xx [ buffthang40101's advice column | Ask buffthang40101 A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Wednesday March 8 2006, 12:07 am: I think you should try them. You may end up liking them better. If not you just go back to the pads. There's nothing wrong with them. It's all up to your personal preference. More people than you would think don't wear tampons. Personally, I find them uncomfortable both physically and mentally. I'm glad that I tried them though, and they do come in useful during those times when your family or friends decide to go to a waterpark when you're on your period. Talk about bad timing. Anyways, good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
Vanity answered Tuesday March 7 2006, 8:36 pm: You don't have to wear them if you don't want to. It's not a big deal. Though it would probably benefit you to learn how just in case you decide to swim or participate in any type of sport while you are on your period. Believe me, they come in handy then.

orphans answered Tuesday March 7 2006, 8:07 pm: Dont use, them if you dont want to.
You dont have to go swimming on the week of your period, just stay out, or tan. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Tuesday March 7 2006, 8:03 pm: it's totally up to you & what you're comfortable with. personally i still use pads. i've had my period since around the 5th-6th grade & i'm a in 10th. yeah all my friends use tampons, but i'm a germophob & yeah haha =) if you swim a lot & you feel ready then yes go for it. if not, it's definately not a problem. try asking one of your friends/family. if that's kind've weird to you, then buy certain tampons. maybe ask brands from your friends & there's directions on the box. there's also directions on the company/brand's website.
