you would use tampons when your period is heavy not like the last day of your period becaues mostly that is when your period is lighter and since it is light, the tampon wont absorb much and that is a higher risk of TSS
abstract_profanity answered Thursday April 20 2006, 5:48 pm: I'm considering that you're just starting out using them, or wanting to.
I love them, here's why:
* They're less messy and more sanitary
* Once you get used to them, you can't tell
that it's there.
* You'll be able to be more active. Examples:
Swimming, Running, Basketball, Cheerleading.
* You won't have to worry about leaks
* You can keep them in for about 8-9 hours.
* Vacation won't suck as much.
And there really isn't a certain time to start using them. It varies differently among all girls. I started using them when I was 13. It's really up to you. Whenever you want to try it out is up to you. I'd recommend tampons over pads. Definitely.
kaylaxosays answered Thursday April 20 2006, 5:29 pm: if you use them correctly .. they are much more comfortable than pads. once you get used to using them you cant even feel it at all.. when you know your period is coming you just wear liners a couple of days ahead of time.. and then once you get your period you use a tampon. You'll still have to wear pads when you go to bed.. because you cant keep a tampon in for more than 8 hours or your at risk for toxic shock syndrom.
