Pads vs Tampons
54% Normal
6 Comments

Ok so I am 18 and have used a pad since I first got my period. I'm going to college soon and think that a tampon would be easier to carry around. I have really light periods, though, so I don't know if a tampon would really help me that much.

So, should I start using tampons or stick to using pads?
Do you think it's normal?

it depends, is your cherry popped? if not the tampon wont go in.
plus tampons are made for people with really light periods, if you dont feel comfortable just wearing a tampon use a thin panty liner with it.

Tampons are sooooo much more comfortable! You don't even feel them, plus no worries such as leaking ect.

Saying a tampon won't go in if your cherry isn't popped just is not true. I am 21 and still a virgin and have been using tampons since I first got my period in middle school. Popping your cherry means breaking your hymen. If someone is having her period the hymen already has holes in it or else how would the blood come through? Some girls rupture their hymen from playing sports and some are not even born with one.

Menstrual cup is the best. Seems gross at first but once you get used to it, it's a godsend, trust me. Better for the environment, too, and waaaay cheaper in the long run as it's reusable.
