im scared of using tampons, im afraid i'll never be able to pull it out with the strings and that it might infect my uterus, holding all that blood - so i use a pad. how about you?

I used to use pads because I found tampons really uncomfortable. I think they dried me out to much and made me get yeast infections.

I've never been able to use tampons. I'm sure if I gave it another try I could but I just don't like the idea of it. Pads are a bit ickier but I feel safer wearing them.

I always use a tampon and have for 12 years and i have never had that problem ... LOL! I can't stand the way a pad leaves you always feeling wet and icky!
