Clicky Poll

I hate pads and have been using them since giving birth of course... they just drive me crazy![Poll]

Re: Clicky Poll

  • I need a 4th option, because I will use tampons or pads depending on the day and how I feel. I will say that I was happy once the bleeding was over and I could stop wearing pads after having Xander.

  • Pads.

    Everyone thinks I'm odd for doing that because I guess all of my friends feel like it's "cool" to wear tampons, but, honestly, they scare the life out of me. I can't help but feel like wearing something made of man-made, artificial materials and chemicals up in your lady parts for several days out of every month of your life CAN'T be good for you. 

    Of course, that's just me. 

    Also, I have extremely bad cramps, so I can never stand to wear them for that fact alone.

    That is me. I am not scared of tampons but I just prefer using pads and always have. My mom uses both because she has really heavy periods and even she makes fun of me. Of course, I have only had 3 periods since late '09 so I barely remember what I use. 

    I heart Ben!!

  • I used to only wear tampons and loved them to death, but I made the switch to pads because of my endo.  And can I just say that my body is so much happier!

  • I clicked tampons, but I'm a SS.

    On BC my periods were so light that my cycle was like 4 days max and by day 4 I could get away with a super light pad.  Plus I skipped every other month.

    On the IUD I'm hoping I don't get my period at all, which happens to a majority of women.

    Yeah I totally hate having a period and will do anything to avoid one, lol!

  • Special Snowflake - I'm so heavy that I have to wear both. I used to wear just pads but then got so heavy that I had to start wearing a super tampon too. I prefer just pads though.

    My doctor told me to just get it 4 times a year since I went back on BC and that's basically what I am doing now. I plan on not having it at all over the summer.

  • I use both - tampons during the day and pads when I go to sleep, or weekends when I don't plan on leaving the house.

    I feel the same way.. I hate tampons and have never wanted to use them. Of course every other girl in my family uses tampons so I have to make sure I bring my stash of pads.

  • i voted snowflake.  it was tampons pre pregnancy, pads post partum.  i havent ha a period yet, so whoo knows.  but ill probably go back to tampons
