Me too! I'm glad I'm not alone. Everyone always scolds me but I can't stand how messy pads are.

tampons have chemicals that are nasty to vaginas

I wear them only on my heavy days.

There's no box for "I always where tampons the whole time I'm on my period including when I'm sleeping". I have to, I despise pads, makes me feel like I'm wearing a diaper.

I am a student with multiple 4 hour classes in a day. Sitting on a pad that long can be hell.

Thankfully I never have to use tampons since I switched to the cup.

I use a diva cup way better in my opinion!

The only time I don't wear tampons are when sleeping, showering, or (if I'm feeling particularly slouchy that day) if I'm just sitting around the house. I'm considering switching over to a cup, though, so I don't risk leaking at work.

I had a horrible experience with tampons when I was in high school. Granted that was 10 years ago at least but I have never even remotely thought about using them since. I use pads. They feel like diapers, but they are what method I have the most confidence in.

I don't use them! I don't like the idea of them.

I have tried them, but they've always been uncomfortable as hell. Now my flow just isn't enough for me to bother trying again.

I only use tampons if I am going to be away from the house or sharing the bed with someone

I only use tampons. I plan to go to the diva cup as soon as I can splurge on it.

I never wear tampons anymore, because when I was a teenager I wore nothing but tampons, and after a very nasty infection would not go away, a doctor visit informed me that the tampons I had been using left small amounts of the cotton inside me each time I used them and well after a simple procedure to clean all of the build up out of me I have never used one again! Doctor said it is rare for this to happen but I am not taking this chance again!

It took a long time for tampons to not hurt me. After I got used to them, I wore them exclusively until I got the Lunette cup. Now I use nothing else.

I wear tampons only when I want to swim, or to bed during my heaviest days.

I tried Diva Cup, but I didn't realize until after I bought it that if you have a tilted uterus that it won't work for you. Sad times. I wear cloth pads all other times now.

Slightly off-topic but I have to ask about this: I used to wear a tampon while swimming ,but the immediate rush of blood when I got out of the water was awkward and annoying. Does that happen to anyone else?

I wear them during the day but at night, I don't.
