Which do you use on your time of the month?
Your period... DO you prefer tampons or pads?

I use a silicone Lunette Cup, it's so much cleaner and less irritating than either of the choices.

I use pads because tampons give me bacterial infections no matter how "up" I stay on changing them, and cups irritate my vaginal walls to the point where I'm sore for up to three days after my last day.

I use tampons usually, pads if its a lighter day. I really want to try a cup, but it's not really something I'd be comfortable with right now since I live in a dorm and share a bathroom. Don't really want to be cleaning that out in front of all my hallmates.

There should be an "other" option (menstrual cups, washable things, etc. etc. etc.)

Tampons, in fact I have to go buy some!
10/19/2011
Tampons for now, but I'll hopefully be starting to use my Diva cup soon.

I wish there was an "other" option, because I prefer them both for different reasons.
I usually use pads AND tampons (pads during the day/night, tampons in the shower, or if I have an early flow), but I'm tempted to buy a Lunette Cup.

I can't stand tampons, they hurt me. So I'm stuck with pads... This thread makes me interested in menstrual cups though.
10/19/2011
Both, but more tampons.
10/19/2011
I voted tampons, but really I love my Diva Cup!
10/19/2011
I use a menstrual cup too! On heavy flow days I'll use a pad as a back-up, but I will do whatever I can to avoid using a tampon. There's a Youtube video that shows tampons in glasses of water and from the experiment, you can see that they leave behind little particles. They're not pleasant to stick into vaginas.
Sorry I couldn't find the exact video. All that I could find were silly videos of people playing around with tampons in water.

I love, love, love my Diva Cup. I'm totally not surprised about the left behind particles. The cup is such low maintenance and I forget I even have my period sometimes!

I used to prefer pads, but recently I discovered that tampons help ease my cramps, so... no contest there.
10/19/2011
I use a diva cup.
10/20/2011
I didn't even think about including the other option and my best friend uses the Diva Cup so I should have thought about including that section.
10/20/2011
I absolutely hate both of those! I use a Diva Cup.

I'm physically unable to use tampons or cups. I have a really heavy flow anyways so pads or depends are just the most logical option for me.
10/21/2011
Pads. I used to prefer tampons although they tend to give me yeast infections even though I traded them out often

I use both, because my periods are too fucking heavy even with birth control. Even then, I leak.

Of course, my gyno doesn't want to do anything like scrape my uterus because I'm 20. So I still have to use the Pill. XX

Ditto! I use a silicone Diva Cup. I find it much cleaner and less irritating as well. Pads make my skin irritated, and tampons can sometimes be painful to remove for me. Diva Cup is perfect for me!

I prefer cloth pads. They're comfortable and I don't feel like I'm sitting in a little blood puddle. They also don't hurt me while tampons do.

Tampons all the way. I'd rather like to try one of the diva cup things, or even the moontime pearl things. But pads just make me feel like I'm wearing a diaper.
