Tampons: Plastic or Cardboard?

[katyowns]

I don't have a preference, I buy whatever brand is on sale, haha.

Using my nuvaring, I only have a period when I want to though, and it's awesome. I've skipped up to 4 periods at a time with no spotting, and got the a-ok from my gynecologist to do so. :hippy:

None now!! lol! Plastic with applicator grooves (Playtex); Cardboard was painful and slippery when wet! Tried OB no app. for my very first tampon as teen; Passed out!

Applicator over none any day, hate to get my fingers in more than necessary, could cause infection, even if every precaution taken! Plus, don't want anything else under my fingernails!
