This is gonna be a long post..haha
And hi everyone!

I hate tampons. I just don't feel protected with them. I had to use one for a waterpark on Saturday (even though I really wasn't due =@) and I spent my whole time worrying that something would go wrong xD

The only thing I don't like about tampons, is how they can leak. In the beginning, I can be pretty heavy, and I feel like I need to wear a pad along with the tampon just incase I leak. Even with the ones with the "anti-leak protective string" or whatever, I still get nervous about it leaking.

Had it since...the end of 5th grade going into 6th.
Its been 4 years now, and there is NO WAY im using one.
Too freaked out.





I already do that with pads...I worry every waking moment...and yet people say "Well thats the beauty of tamps...no worry" and im like "wrong, yes worry"

Theres just so many things that could possibly go wrong...
and then that weird syndrome you can get...

I got mine at the same age you did, the very end of 5th grade.
But seriously, tampons are not scary once you use them. It's obvious how they go in, they slide in and out easily, and they can't get sucked up into you.
The worst that could happen, besides TSS, is the string breaking off. But that RARELY happens, especially with brand names ones. The store brand ones are made cheaper, so they COULD break easier.
But the tampon isn't up there far, so it's easy to just take your fingers, and pull it out.
But I totally understand where you are coming from. It took me a while to use tampons. I was like 16 or 17. And even now, I still prefer pads over tampons, just because pads are quicker to change, and I have so much practice with them...lol

I know, right!? I have huge hips! I'm most definitely a pear!

But actually, I'm growing to like them, and unlike stick-like woman. I think curves are so beautiful and attractive now.


Toxic Shock Syndrome? I think you have to have had the tampon in for like 2 days before you have a chance of getting that. And lol, there's no way you can lose it up there.

So, I just figured it out, and I haven't had my period for 40 days. I was hoping I was on a 40 day cycle, but I guess not. I always get my period in the morning, so I have no clue what kind of weird cycle I'm on.

I'm about to leave for my uber uber boring algebra class! Ugh, my teacher barely speaks english, and I don't understand what he's saying anyways, hahaha. I think a bunch of us are going to meet up with my last semester's algebra teacher and have her try and explain somethings to us.

ITA!! Curves are wonderful now that I'm older. Back in middle school I was so ashamed of my hips. Now that I'm getting closer and closer to being an adult (AHHHH!!!! ) and having kids, I love my hips..haha

Hello ladies.

 

[PurpleDucky]

pads are noisier than tampons and it's really awkward when other girls hear you, lol.
pads = diapers
tampons = you feel nothing, unless you put it in at the wrong angle.. just put it in straight and you're good to go.

the first couple days i wear pantyliners with tampons because i'm scared i'll leak. i just use regular.. not super.. because you're not supposed to wear those as long as regular ones.. but whatever. i wear regular ones when i sleep at night... which is 7-10 hours. i've never gotten tss, it's EXTREMELY rare.

you need to stop freaking out ladies, lol.

hi kayla, hahah.

Haha..yeah! ITA. If I'm changing in a public bathroom and someone else comes in and we are the only ones in there, I'll just sit there and wait til they leave..lol
It's so awkward! idk why though, I mean all girls go through it..lol

 

[PigletGurl]

my tampons leak sometime cuz i look track of time so i wear a panty liner.

i use pads my last days when tampons hurt cuz there is not enough blood, but i dont care at all about the sound they make, i am very noisey when putting pads on hahaha

 

[Cinderelli16]

Tampons scared me to death when I first started my period. I was so afraid the string would break & then my mom told me about TSS & that was what freaked me out the most. But during the summer going to 10th grade I was on my period & we were going camping for the weekend & I wanted to be able to go to the beach & wear my bathing suit so I just tried it. The first couple times I was all tensed up so it kind of hurt, but then I just learned to relax my muscles & it went in much easier & I didn't feel anything. I was so proud of myself the first time I used one. I love them now, but I sometimes still leak with tampons, but I refuse to wear pads because they feel like diapers & I hate the fact that I'm sitting in my blood. I only wear them at night.

OMG! That's the worst! Tampons on the last days! Ewwww!
I had to wear one on like my second to last day because my friends and I planned a beach trip. That was the worst. It didn't soak up a lot of blood, cuz I was almost done, so taking it out was awkward. lol

Same. The first time I ever used one, I couldn't find the hole. LMAO!
I was literally crouched over the toilet for like 5 or 10 minutes poking around with a tampon down there. Then when I finally found it, I was freaking out, and I was so tense, it hurt going in. Needless to say, it took a couple more periods before I tried one again..lmao

My mom kept offering to help me. I was too embarrassed and refused to let her into the bathroom..haha

 

[PigletGurl]

hahaha i was so tensed up
was in the bathroom for like 15 mins, and my sister was lke," up, up, no to the right, now down, there ya go!" hahaha

 

[StitchfansJr]

I've never used a tampon and I don't think I will, at least for right now. xD

 

[CrazyChik]

I found the right hole straight away and could change them really quickly first time I think it was because I was away on a trip and I didn't really want to ask any of my friends for help or be in there for ages and have them wondering what on Earth I was doing xD

 

[StitchfansJr]

My friend offered me a tampon once cause I forgot to pack a pad in my backpack. I was late for gym as it is..and I didn't wanna be sitting there trying to put something up my..you know. hahahaha. xD

 

[Cinderelli16]

I'm back...again. My dad was being a butt head & made me do more laundry. :/
