Tampons Vs Pads

lol Nope
I use always infinity pads. I'm nervous about sticking something up my vagina. & toxic shock.
Pad
Tampons
Lots of older people say that and I get why bc the older pads were very bulky.I have used some at my grandmother's house. Always infinity pads aren't bulky at all though. They are very soft, thin and absorbent.
Here are the always infinity pads. Yellow is regular, green is heavy, orange is overnight. Purple is heavy overnight.
Yeah I can't walk around bleeding on myself all day.

i prefer pads because you can see how theyre "filling up." i think tampons are sold based on absorbancy but you cant really tell when its time to put in a new one, u just know u cant sleep in it. i can check my pad to see if i need to change it every 2 hours or howevr often

Tampons. Gave up pads years ago. So happy
I use a Diva cup. The idea was gross to me at first but after a few months its slightly cleaner than using tampons and I can go a bit longer in between emptying it. I definitely don't experience that wet diaper feeling as much. I use a pad with the cup and the pad isn't completely wrecked like it would be alone.
Before hand I was using tampons, two at a time on my heaviest days. Don't miss it.

Y'all keep talmbout TSS like it's 1982. A whopping 337 cases in 2015...not exactly something to lose sleep over. You get TSS in 2016, God just has it in for you.
800mg (yes 800) of ibuprofen every 6 hours from the time the spotting starts. It will cut you flow by 30% minimum, mine decreased by 75%
. I used to change ultra tampons every 2 hours and even had to have blood transfusions and iv iron theraphy due to anemia caused severe blood loss. Now I can use regular and lites, maybe 1 super during the week.You have to take the ibuprofen 800mg at least 3 times a day for the whole week, but it's worth it to me

Ibuprophen doesn't do anything for me, unfortunately.
two at a time?!
But
to people using pads exclusively. When I first started wearing tampons they were uncomfortable because I wasn't positioning them right, but after that, there's no way I would exclusively wear pads. Tampons are much cleaner, and WAY more comfortable. There is no comparison in a pantyliner and a pad IMO either. You just have to find the right tampons. I use OB. They are more expensive than tampax and playtex or w/e generics are on the market, but....I'll just post a picture.
Imma stop coming to the salon being nosey. Y'all nasty as fukk

Tampons, I never liked pads. When I first started getting periods ( around 11) my flow was super heavy and I hated walking around with them big ass pads on

Do you not get clots? I don't think tampons absorb those. From what I read they can just stay inside you which I'd imagine can cause problems after a while.

Not to get too graphic but they just fall out when you take the tampon out. I have been using tampons for a long time. Never had a problem.
