| pads then tampons |
| I got my period when I was 10 and I was too scared to use a tampon so I used pads. Until I was staying after school for something and started my period and asked my friend that had already started hers if she had anything and all she had was a tampon. It took me like ten mins to put it in but I soon relized that they were more comfy so that's all I use now! |

| My awful journey, forced pads and cardboard tampons |
| I first got my period at 11, I used a pad but didn't really like it, having no close female relatives around at the time i didn't learn about tampons until later (my mom strictly used pads), I asked my mom to buy me some tampons, but she refused so i was FORCED to wear pads, lucky for me my periods weren't regular. I didn't start using tampons until i was around 17 and bought my own (I swam a LOT during the summer), problem was on the "beginner's" pack, they didn't properly explain how to use a tampon, so I ended up putting it in with the cardboard still on (ouch). I felt frustated. My mom was never the type to talk about periods or sex etc. I finally figured it out when i was around 19, now 21 (my SO thought it was funny, his mom gave him TMI about stuff like that, i was tramuatized) and have been a almost strict tampon user since, only using pads at night. I haven't tried the menstrual cup, though i'm curious. I'll explain WAY more to my daughter then my mom did to me. |

| Pads |
| I have always used pads. I use Stayfree super with wings most of the time since I have a heavy flow. Stayfree is my favorite pad. I still use the same pad that I started with but I switched a few times just to try something different. I will always use pads because I don't want to use tampons. |

| pads, then tampons, now both |
| I started in the 4th grade and mom told me to use pads and that's what i did. i didn't even think about tampons until my junior year in high school. i don't even know why i started to wear them. but today i just switch between pads and tampons. |

| LOVE the DIVA CUP |
| When I first got my TOM, I remember the huge box of pads sitting out in the bathroom, and when I first put one on thinking to myself "gee thats what a diaper must've felt like when I was little". I have had super heavy flow since I started and thank goodness the long sweaters that were in during the 80's saved me from numerous embarrasing aunt-overflow days. Finally went to tampons, then a combo of super plus tampons AND a super overnight pad. I'm talking both - all through my cycle. THEN I discovered the Diva cup. I was skeptical, but it has far surpassed my expectations in every way. I can go just about every day with the diva cup and just a pantiliner. I still flow heavy but this device catches it all - I have only ever overflowed once and thats because I didn't empty it soon enough. This is a miracle device. I even think I have less cramps while using it. I have switched completely and will never go back. I have never felt so clean during that TOM. |
