Tampons all the way. I feel so dirty when wearing a pad, and it can get very very messy. A tampon is like a absorbing plug, with pads you can feel it bleeding and I cant take that, I also get paranoid you can see the pad through my pants, I dont want to go around feeling like I look like Im smuggling a polish sausage in my pants.

Wow, this topic seems to be more controversial than I realized, judging from a few of the threads here at the end that got deleted. Oh well, I vote for tampons. Have used them since I was 14. Playtex Gentle Glide brand. Cannot stand pads, day or night. That's the only bad thing after you have a baby, even after a Cesarean--they make you use pads in the weeks afterward.

I cracked up when I read that!
The only time I want to feel like there's a Polish sausage in my panties, it had BETTER be attached to a hot Polish farmer. That's why the women in Western MA are always smiling, ya know!

I voted Pads, but I use cloth pads. I can't stand getting chemical burns every month because of all the shit that's in commercial pads (and tampons for that matter) Ew.

BTW, Diva cups (you can also get a Keeper....and Instead Cups are sold in stores) are generally messy, especially the instead since they don't have a "stem" but you do get used to them fairly quickly, and some women can take them out, dump them, rinse it and put it back in with out spilling a drop of blood. And after a while your periods are "shorter" because the blood isn't pooling in the vagina. the cup is directly on the cervix, so it doesn't have far to go.

ANd for a light to moderate flow, you might only have to dump the cup once or twice a day.

I primarily use tampons but I think I'm gonna go out and try the DivaCup! You all make it sound gross, but check out the Q&A on their website, it doesn't sound bad at all. There's a year long guarentee, so if you buy it and find out that it's messy or something you can always return it.

The reason I wanna try it cause it's cheaper than buying pads/tampons every month, it's environmentally friendly, you can wear it wayyyy longer than a tampon, and you don't need to worry about TSS. I think that alone is a good enuff reason for all women to buy one!

SwirlyMass, no one is forcing you to read this thread. If you don't like reading this stuff, and think it's "gross", go away!
