Tampon- goes inside you
Pad- sticks to your underwear
Pantiliner- keeps your underwear clean when you know you're getting your period soon or it's almost over.
loves2shop86 answered Tuesday May 30 2006, 3:35 pm: hey! ok a tampad?? what is that? lol i've never heard that word in my life and i've had my period for 6 years now (unfortunately). did someone make it up or something? a tampon is (as you know) the thing that you insert inside you to collect blood as it flows out. you need to change the tampon every 4 to 6 hours so that you don't increase your risk of TSS (a rare but deadly disease caused by bacteria which collects on a tampon left inside you for too long). a lot of women like tampons because they are less messy since than pads, because the blood never even comes out. they are also more comfortable because pads can feel like diapers. pads, as you know, are the things that you line your underwear with so that when blood comes out, it is absorbed by the pad, and not your underwear.
as far as "tampads" go... maybe whoever said that word was talking about PANTYLINERS, which are really thin pads that some women use along with tampons in case the tampon leaks a little bit. that's just a guess though, because that word deffinitely doesn't exist! :) haha let me know if you need more help!

lxYiPPi answered Tuesday May 30 2006, 1:29 pm: well ive never really heard of tampad , i think its a pad instead of a tampon. a tampad has sticky stuff on the bottom and u stick it to your underwear. but a tampon you just stick up in your private area.
