Tampons when my flow is heavy, then pads when it slows down.
Pads vs. Tampons
02/25/2013
Thankfully I don't have an issue with tampons. I've tried the diva cup before but it poked me, even when I rimmed the stem. I might have to try another brand of cup though, as I'd rather be eco friendly!

I use tampons, but I think I'm gonna start using pads while at home because I feel like if I keep using tammpons ALL DAY, it wouldn't be healthy for me.
02/25/2013
Pads for me.
02/25/2013
Mix of both.. I wear tampons during the day & pads at night when I'm sleeping.
02/25/2013
Tampons don't seem "unnatural" to me. I just prefer pads. I find them to be more comfortable, too. But to each their own.
02/26/2013
Cups!
02/26/2013
Only pads. I hate tampons. Of course as a teenager I was so irregular my mother always told me to wear a tampon "just in case" when I was going somewhere important and they hurt like crazy when I didn't need them.

Usually pads but tampons if I'm going swimming or something exercise-y.
02/26/2013
I use a mixture of both sometimes, but almost never tampons by themselves, in case of leakage. Usually though I just stick with pads. No risk of TSS there
02/26/2013
Tampons all the way. I tried pads briefly and always felt like I was wearing a diaper.
02/26/2013
I hate pads. They really do feel like a diaper and I hate cleaning them up when I change them. I use tampons but I'm planning to get a menstrual cup soon.
02/28/2013
I wanna check out the cup! But for now I am using tampons and panty liners
02/28/2013
I use tampons more, but sometimes I use pads depending on the situation.
03/14/2013
Pads only
05/18/2013
Mostly tampons.

Other. I use a reusable menstrual cup and natural sea sponges for the light days. Rarely (like a handful of times a year) I use tampons. I never use pads, resuable or disposable.

I like to use both. Pads at night, tampons during the day.

Reusable cup, occasionally reusable pads. I would never go back to tampons... I love my Keeper so much!
05/18/2013
I am a tampon girl... but am looking into getting a Divacup.
05/18/2013
Pads really do feel like diapers to me. I don't care how small they are, and I tend to leak all over the place if they're too small. Tampons are the only products for me!
05/18/2013
I have to use both. If I use just a pad, I leak. It likes to make one little trail to flow through and off the pad instead of, you know. Just staying put and filling up the pad. And tampons... no matter what, it likes to just go around the tampon, then eventually absorb some as it passes by. So if I combine the two, I can actually avoid leaks. The tampons catch some, but whatever it doesn't catch, the pad does.

Mostly a menstrual cup.
05/19/2013
Tampons all the way. I am an irrational germaphobe, so tampns just make me feel better. I know it isn't unsanitary. I just crazy.
05/19/2013
Pads only, everything insertable hurts which is unfortunate because I was so excited about cups!
05/19/2013
Back in the day when I needed to use them it would be either depending on what I was wearing or doing.

Mixture of pads and tampons. I was going to go with an alternative product for awhile, but with bc, my periods are so short and light that it's not a big thing anymore.

The Diva Cup is amazing. (: I highly recommend it if you're at all interested in trying a menstrual cup or are unhappy with pads and tampons. You can get it at a really good price at vitacost too. ^^
