So I recently got into a discussion with a friend about feminine hygiene products, and she will only use tampons, where as I can't stand the way they feel. So I was wondering what everybody else's preferences are on the matter, since I can't possibly be the only one who talks about this stuff, lol.
Pads vs. Tampons
Pads vs. Tampons
Long-time tampon user, about to transition to a reusable menstrual cup. I just have to use up my stockpile of tampons, first.
I do occasionally use a pantyliner as backup for both cups and tampons, especially if I'm toward the start of my period or will be stuck somewhere for a few hours without the opportunity to run off to the restroom.

They generally hurt for me as well, which is why I avoid them like the plague, lol. I think I've used maybe one tampon, once, when I was 13, that wasn't obscenely uncomfortable in some manner.

Here's a link to the search results I got for reusable menstrual pads. Some people have used some crazy weird fabrics to make these too, lol

When I have a moderate to high level of flow, I use exclusively tampons; if it's really light, I use panty liners (which I don't consider a pad). I haven't used full on pads in years. I always hated them, but used them because when you bleed as much as I used to, there wasn't a tampon in the world that was absorbent enough, yet fit in my virgin vagina. So, I was stuck using pads to thick they made it look like I was wearing a diaper under my clothes. Thank goodness for birth control that minimizes periods.

Tampons exclusively for the past 4 years. I've had periods since I was in the fourth grade, and I always felt sick and tired when I had to wear pads. Hated those damn things! And I had to wear one for an entire school day, because I didn't carry a purse and therefore couldn't change. 10 hours worth of period blood...not fun.
Tampons are a gift from God. I feel perfectly fine now thanks to them.

They do have a bunch of awesome ones, and they're less expensive than the Luna pads. I emailed one seller to get more info about the fabric, and I think I'll end up buying from her.

You know what else I found on Etsy? (totally off topic) Inexpensive wine bags aka dildo bags. Yay storage solutions!

I can always smell someone wearing a pad, no matter how frequently she changes it. Blood degrades so quickly when it hits the air, and the odor, like garlic, isn't always detectable to the wearer, but its detectable to people who are "Super sniffers" (according to Monell Labs).
I can also smell liver and kideny failure before they happen (they both smell distinctly different) and other states of physical health.

Diva Cup! I also can smell pads.
Seriously though, if you haven't tried a Diva Cup (or Mooncup, Keeper or other menstrual cup) I really encourage you to. They're much more comfortable, resuable, and you don't have to worry about nasty chemicals from the bleached cotton getting all up in your vagina.

Totally do! I use them the first few days before my period is supposed to hit in case it comes early and surprises me. I also use it for back-up on super heavy days. I have the smallest size of liner.

Check out teaman if you like tea. Absolutely fantastic stuff. I normally can't stand fruit flavored teas but his fruit flavored teas actually taste like fruit and I don't seem to mind those so much.
