actually i vary on what i wear depending on what i'm doing that day. Like if i'm going out shopping or swimming or something like that i will wear a tampon because they are more compfortable and they aren't noticable. also it is neccissary to wear a tampon while swimming. but if i'm going to school i will most likely wear a pad that way i don't have to change my tampon during school. most girls do wear tampons to school, again because they are more compfortable, its just that i'm too lazy to go to the bathroom before lunch to change it! lol.
now on to being more confident. whenever you are wearing jeans or tan pants and you have your period just tell yourself that i'm not leaking! think this to yourself, "chances are i'm not the only girl in this room that has their period right now, and nobody else is leaking!" also if you did leak you would be able to tell, and hopefully (lol) your friends would let you know! I've never seen a girl leak through her jeans before! remember that pants are thick and it is very hard for your period blood to make it all the way through your pants.
and if it helps, change your tampon or your pad more often at school that way you can insure that you won't leak through!
