10 Pros and Cons of Using Pads for Your Period ...

Are you a girl that just got her period and you would like to know 10 pros and cons of using a pad for your period?

Are you terrified of using tampons because of TSS and you would like to know just how much you will be benefiting (or not benefitting) from those pads? Well, below, I am going to help you out by giving you 5 pros and 5 cons of using pads for your period…

First, I am going to share some person advice with you. I hate tampons simply because I do not like to have to wear the pantyliner. I mean, you might as well be wearing the pad if you have to wear a pantyliner as well. Besides, tampons have a tendency to leak and I absolutely HATE that.
Pros:
Pro #5
The pads are definitely reliable, as long as you put it on right.
Pro #4
Despite what you may have heard, pads can be comfortable. They make ultra thin pads that do not let leaks through.
Pro #3
They are easy to use and change. They do not take much time to put them on and they do not require having to touch down there and get blood on your hands. (ew).
Pro #2
There are many different brands to choose from. Many of those brands are high quality and are super absorbent.
Pro #1
I really like the fact that you do not have to worry about TSS when you wear a pad!
Are there any more pros that you can think of right now?
Const on the next page ...
Cons:
Con #5
You cannot wear them with swimsuits or while you are swimming. Do not even attempt to do so. You will only embarrass yourself.
Con #4
The pads have a tendency to show thru certain pants. It will appear to be a major bump on the butt.
Con #3
They have a tendency to slip sideways and do not feel comfortable. I guess you would say that they feel as if you pooped in your pants.
Con #2
They are hard to hide in the purse!
Con #1
They have a tendency to smell.

I can think of many other complaints about pads as it seems to be like a “tampon” world where more women than ever before are wearing tampons.

When you wear a pad, it can sometimes feel as if you are wearing a diaper.

Can you think of any more cons that I have not listed? I am sure you can, so please take a couple of seconds to share your thoughts with the rest of us, because we really would like to hear them…

Vanisha, LOl!! Us woman have more cons than pros in our bodies! Lucky men!!!!!!

pads are so uncomfortable for me to wear.I haven't started my period yet but I wanted to try them out and see if I could use to them or even comfortable.Unfortunately it feels like a cushioned alien object in my underwear.I imagine tampons would be worse for me because you have to locate it and shove it inside you.Plus you have to change them every 2-3 hours if you don't want toxic shock syndrome.What an inconvience.I assume I'll start in 7th grade which starts in August.My period is not something I'll be looking forward to

With the whole "pad's have a tendency to smell" theory, I find it to be invalid. The device you use has nothing to do with the smell produced, the smell is based on how long you are wearing your device, how often you change it, and your personal hygiene. Wearing a pad doesn't make you more susceptible to smell. You can test it out yourself. If you don't wash yourself properly and where a tampon you can smell as well. If you don't change you tampon you can not only smell but get TSS as well. Vice versa. Same thing with pads. To prevent smell wearing either a tampon or a pad, just wash yourself properly and change your device when time is due.

i am a preteen and i recently happened to have my first period and i think the cons were more true than pros

I've considered a mooncup, but after 30 years of using pads it would be quite a change of habit. Could you do a Mooncup article, Melanie?

With a pad it certainly feels like you're wearing a diaper. I totally hate them!!! They are smelly and show through most of my pants and dresses. Tampons are my version of comfy and it feels as if I don't even have my period. I use pads at home and surely tampons for my outings. For me wearing as pad during my period have more cons than pros. But still thanks the same mel for listing those toughts with us. Who is having his first periods and is trying to decide which of pads and tampons are the best, these posts surely help.
