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…

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I always hated the thought of tampons. But one day I tried them and now I can't go without them. The worst part about pads for me was the sudden flow you feel when you stand up after sitting for a while and then you freak out that it's going to leak. You don't get that feeling with tampons. You also don't have to clean up a murder scene with every toilet stop.

Well you're meant to change them often enough..then you wouldn't be "sat in your own blood all day"

Sheila, Surely time passes and things change. Most information today you can find it on your pc, from the comfort of your house, literally about every subject. Technology kepps getting better by the day!

I only wear pads to sleep. I can't stand sitting in my own blood all day.

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?

First of all, you can wear a tampon for eight hours with most brands with no fear if TSS, in fact TSS usually occurs if you are not a heavy flower or use tampons when you are not on your period. Either way, it's extremely unlikely it will happen to you. Second of all, you have so much more freedom, and they are so comfy. Third, they don't hurt. At all. I'm a virgin, and I've never had a problem with them, even the first use. Fourth, I always ended up getting blood on me when I used pads, with a tampon that has stopped completely. I like that they don't make as much noise too, changing them in school was horrifying, when I got tampons it was one quick rip, that just sounds like toilet paper or something. They never leak for me, if they are for you it might be the absorbency. Do be careful moving up on absorbency unless you need it because that is also a leading cause of TSS. I tend to use bigger when I first start and switch to smaller after the first few days. I might even wear a really thin (yet still uncomfy) pad, but honestly I rarely spot so it's not much of a problem for me.

That's so true Sheila! And we're the wiser and thoughtful Gender!! :P If any man should read this he would hate us! But let's face it Eve made her sin because Adam was going to drive her mad all alone with him in heaven! Poor soul she had no one else of intelligence to talk to! loooooooool I love beaing a woman even with all our cons!! :)
