I know many will say, it depends on you. But I have had no experience with tampons, so I don't know if they are better than pads. Please include your opinions and details!!!

Tampons aren't really for young girls unless you are swimming or something. They can cause TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) which causes you to become dizzy etc. . . I tried them when I was younger and every time I would wear them I would become nauseous, dizzy, and once I fainted. After that, I decided I wouldn't wear them anymore. Not that pads feel that great either - periods in general are just terrible. I personally don't like the Ultra Thin Maxi's either because they always seem to stick to my butt a lot. I prefer the maxi with wings and four wall protection. Towards the end of my period when the flow is lighter, I like to just use panty liners because their not so big and uncomfortable. But watch out, sometime the sticky part can flip over and get stuck to her pubic hair - that is NOT comfy at all! These are just my opinions so I hope they can help you somewhat. Everyone is different when it comes to what they use for their periods. You'll just have to test different things out and see what works for you.
Good luck with your search for the right pad/tampon!

I have had three children and have tried both over the years. I prefer pads because they are easier to change, alot less messy, and you will not get Toxic Shock Syndrome (read about TSS on web MD or somewhere). Taking out a tampon can be yucky. Try both, you'll figure out what you prefer, plus tampons if not inserted correctly can hurt.

When I was younger it was pads all the way. But the older I got, the less I enjoyed wearing them. I have switched to tampons and feel more protected and more comfortable.

Tampons are way better!! You don't really know they are there. When you have a pad, you feel like there is a mattress between your legs.

pads because a tampon you have to change it almost every 5 minutes and it can be dangerous. i had a friend who was just plain crazy she had a tampon and she said it felt good so she put more and more and she had to go to the hospital cause they went up her bladder or and it was disgusting! i think pads are better ! and more safer!

Tampons are for people who have had sex. If you havent had sex already and you stick a tampon up their you can pop your (you know what) or seriously hurt yourself. I prefer pads. Their less messy.
