stick to your skin? I had that problem too.....whatever they are putting in them these days may be causing you to be uncomfortable.
Look for ones that are made from unbleached fibres...u can find them usually in the health food section of the grocery store...or a health food store might carry them.
Me after countless allergic reactions to manufactured pads I looked up how to make my own on the net...I'll never look back...wish I had known about it earlier...better for me and better for the environment

A little baby powder will help to keep you dry and prevent "sticking". You can also try cornstarch if you're sensitive to the perfume in the powder. Sticking is caused by the natural clotting process of the blood. Try to find the pads with the non-stick weave it really makes a difference. Be sure to change them often to avoid bacteria from developing as well because it contributes to the smell. I'm sorry I know this all probably sounds a little gross but this is the stuff we're not always told about when we're first starting, just know that we've all been there and can relate to how it feels. :)

there is nothing much you can do. I have always worn pads and sometimes it does take the find the right one for you. I use the pink always with wings. But mostly its the moisture of your body they are sticking to. Or the pubic hair. Keep trying new brands and realize that all women who wear pads know the feeling.

At 14, you may bleed heavily some months. Yes it does hurt when you have one that sticks. Try, changing your pad more often,that might help.

Change more often and use the ones with wings. They wrap around and are less likely to stick. Also, talk to your mom about this and see if she will let you use the teen tampons. Sometimes, just letting her know what is going on will help. Good luck.

The hemoglobin in blood is a sticky fluid that "clots" when it hits air.Have you ever like cut yourself and wiped the blood? Did you notice how sticky it is.This helps clot the area that is affected.Since there is no "area" during menses,the pad becomes like a "sore " for the blood to stick to.

why don't you get one of your friends to buy you some tampons and them hide a few in your purse or something so your parents don't know you are using them
why aren't you allowed to use them?
Trust me you want the pads to stick. They will fall out if they don't

Find a brand that has better absorption; you'll have to test out a few.
