I usually use napkin when I have menstration. When I came here in America, my stepdaughter is using tampon. At first, I dont know what tampon is until i saw it. My nurse friend told me that tampon can devirginize women.Is it true?Is itpainful to insert it in our female organ?

Whaaat, no! Lol. A tampon cannot devirginize anyone. I use them and I'm still very much a virgin! Hah. It's not painful to insert, but the process of putting it in and taking it out feels unusual at fist. And make sure you're putting it in right, the first time I did it I left the applicator attached and it was SO uncomfortable! But they should really feel like you're wearing nothing, if you feel any discomfort is either because it's not put in right or not inserted all the way in. Good luck!

I guess by napkin you mean pads? I have them both, but I mostly use tampons. Mostly because I don't feel a thing. And sometimes with pads I can smell myself, but not with tampons. You can also clean yourself just fine after peeing with the tampons, instead of having a bloody mess. And you can go to the pool wearing them and the beach, participate in active sports...pads don't allow for any of those.

I use both tampons and pads. I prefer tampons. Since i am a lifeguard at a pool i need to be able to swim every day of the month. that isnt possible with a pad.

In my opinion, using tampons is very comfortable and practical. For me, it's not painful to insert tampon, but everything depends on your experience.
