~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 (edited) Men can read this...but they won't exactly answer this since they haven't really experienced. Well, im not trying to make this sound like a gross thread..but females, I may ask this I've always wondered. Why is it that MOST girls I have EVER known, uses Tampons? I'm JUST curious! Every girl at my school always either asks me "Hey, do you have a tampon, I started my period?" Or I over hear them saying they need to put a tampon in. I know some girls here use them. So I ask, what is so good about them? I have always used pads. They're comfy, and I hardly feel them..but with a tampon..you would think that'd be uncomfortable??? I am just wanting to know why most women use them.. So answer this ladies! And don't sit here say this is weird, I've seen weirder topics this -.-... Thanks!

Clarity 3,094 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 Posting this in a public forum is quite strange...lol... Well anyway, I haven't used tampons and only used the former. Just used to it, guess it doesn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,289 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 Actually... my (ex)girlfriend taught me a lot about this stuff ;-; Well, some women apparently dislike how pads feel like a diaper, and would rather use a tampon, which makes them feel older. I don't understand it, and I never will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephala 2,635 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 (edited) I think they're less messy, but they're waaaaay more uncomfortable for me ;_; I seriously hate them but I have to use them for swimming ;_; *feels slightly violated for answering this question* XD Edited September 23, 2012 by PinkieDaShy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohtty 1,775 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 (edited) With tampons you can you can swim, shower, and bathe and they are discreet. Some girls report feeling like they are wearing a diaper when they use pads. Others don't like to sit in their blood. It appears to be a mostly preferential thing. source: http://www.beinggirl...ampons-vs-pads/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampon http://www.tamponsvspads.net/ http://answers.yahoo...09221928AA8HrQy *deletes browser history* Edited September 23, 2012 by Bohtty Legit signature made by Shift.

Angie Cakes 50 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 I don't trust pads nearly as much as I trust tampons. plus tampons are a lot more comfortable. too many bad experiences with pads, I just got fed up ;~; I use both, actually, so it's uncomfortable no matter what :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One 498 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 I thought I might be able to answer it untill you said tampon. Yes, it is a woman question. Oh well. Seems weird you would ask that in a forum like this though. This is a signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin'HotRarity 182 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 I prefer tampons, but I can understand where you're coming from and why'd you'd want to use pads. Actually I'm a troll, and a guy, and the closest I have ever come to either was when I was asked to shelf them as part of my job. S.V.R. Stop. Violent. Recreation, I know it's tuff but let's all try to stop playing violent videogames, violent TV, violent thinking, and just violence in general.

Jokuc 8,174 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 @@Sugar Sprinkles, Well I don't know anything about why. But I could guess it's about what you think it comfortable or is easiest to use or carry with you when needed. Anyways, another thread similar to this where some posters discuss alternative options. http://mlpforums.com/topic/27671-girls-only-my-menstrual-pad-is-too-big/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flicker Sweet 3,391 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 Actually I do have an answer for this: where i live tampons are cheaper only reason I know this is because I've overheard some of my female friends talking about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokuc 8,174 September 23, 2012 Share September 23, 2012 (edited) The thought of a tampon going up.............. Haha nah. Seriously though, yeah I understand. I think you should do what you find most confortable. If you don't want to try tampons then don't. If you think pads are good and is comfortable I see no reason to change. Don't fix what's not broken. My opinion is similar to this quote. Don't change if pads works good for you. ..y'know **Is a boy** Edited September 23, 2012 by Mr. Nibblers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Bolt 35,217 April 2, 2019 Share April 2, 2019 The majority of us girls use them it seems like, but not all of us. I personally do not like using tampons at all and have always used pads. Pads work just fine for me, I remember trying tampons a couple years back but after having too much trouble with them I gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone 1066 3,622 April 2, 2019 Share April 2, 2019 I have actually used a tampon a couple times........ I'll let y'all speculate how.....and where.
