This is a follow up to my previous questions. HI! I am a 17 years Male to Female old transsexual. I am going to have my sexual reassignment surgery 2 month later. I've started using feminine pad since 1 month ago since I am going to have to use it for a while after my surgery (doctor told me I am going to have discharge), and my mum said I should know how to use it and get used to the feelings of wearing a pad. My mum had bought me Kotex overnight with wings, but I feel it's kind of nappy. I am wondering which one is the best for me to use? What do you think about stayfree? When should I use pantiliners? Overnights or regular? Also, when I change my pad at public washroom, I feel kind of embrassing because I am afraid other people would hear that I am changing my pad. Do you have the same problem? I am so lost, please help.

The brand of a pad is insignificant, it's the size that matters. Buy yourself some pantiliners, some regular absorbency, and some heavy absorbency sizes. Use the appropriate size for the amount of discharge you have. This may change day to day. Start with the basic kind (no wings, no extra long, etc.) After using them a while, you will forget they are even there. It feels like wearing a bandaid, no big deal.
As for using them in a stall, it is a natural and common occurence to hear a pad being ripped from underwear, or unwrapped. We don't care, neither should you.
Relax, take a deep breathe, and realize that using a pad is not a big deal. Like anything else, it is scary when you've never done it before. This will not last long. Best of Luck!!
p.s. yes, please dispose of them properly. Roll it up, wrap it in tp, and throw in trash can.

OK I wasn't sure if this was a joke but after viewing your other questions I will answer this as if it is not a joke.
My questions is why would you have a discharge after this type of surgery? From my understanding the penis is inserted and shaped to make a vagina.
I can see maybe using a pad until the scars heal. And then I would look at something that is sterile. You doctor should be advising you an that.
After you are healed up. No need to use pads unless you want to waste your money.
As for changing pads in public? Every woman has a period and has to use pads at sometime or another. Just rip it off quickly, roll it up & wrap it in toilet paper, toss it in the trash can. Not the toilet. Please don't toss it open. Now that is the gross part coming in and your pad is looking at everyone from the trashcan.
I do think you should rethink this surgery until you are alittle older.

use what make you feel comfortable, and stop thinking about what other may think just take care of your self. and use wipe to clean your self after you change your pad, everything will be all right. people can be nasty some time you have to over look thats. take care of your self bye
