This is a very easy answer :)
Many women like to wear thongs now during the entire month and not "granny panties" during their menstrual cycle. Personally, I see no problem in wearing a pair of "granny panties" each day of my cycle--but, as I said, I'm aware of the times.
A great alternative to tampons is the menstrual cup. The menstrual cup is not bleached out like tampons they are not linked to cancerous cells. Menstrual cups can be worn up to 14 hours safely--then the only REAL reason you want to remove it is to empty it from the fluid it has gathered. It may take a few tries to get use to, but the menstrual cup is easy and simply re-usable. The reusable quality means you do not have to continue spending money on waste products for your menstruation.
Menstrual cups do not remove the lining of your vaginal canal either. They do not "stick" or "rip" anything, really, because they are held in by natural suction. They are safe to use, being made out of a soft surgical material that can be sanitized easily. They are SO safe that you can use them every single day if you wanted to--meaning, even if you weren't on you period you could insert the cup and not be at risk for something nasty!
For brands of menstrual cups and a little bit more information on these from me, check out my response on this question:

Please consider doing away with tampons for the safety of your body.
