Pads or tampons?
Pads for me. I don't like plugs. They hurt and don't work for me hehe

The DIVA Cup is the BEST product I have found. You only need one, it pays for itself in less than a year, it's environmentally-friendly, you're not exposed to the bleach in pads and tampons, and easy to use (I could never use tampons!).

Neither, I use a menstrual cup, much safer, cleaner and easier to use….plus the only option that can deal with my super heavy periods. I use a Mooncup – http://www.mooncup.co.uk
If I had to choose between tampons or pads then pads would win it because I know exactly how bad tampons are for vaginal health, even though if I used pads I'd never be able to leave the house as I'd have to change them every five minutes! Although at least cloth pads are super comfortable.
Edit:
As for the comment "It is not a plug. Its clean and healthy. Pad make you smell nasty and dirty" tampons are actually plugs, as well as the most unhygienic and dangerous menstrual options around, pads certainly don't make you 'nasty' or 'dirty'.

Pads for me! I can't get the hang of tampons, but I wish I could because pads are so annoying!

Tampons. I use to think they hurt too but once I gave them a try and wore them for a day or so, I didnt even notice them anymore. Now if I wear a pad, I have to go the the bathroom all the time because it feels like I am leaking and I am freaked out. I can wear a tampon and totally forget I am even on my period. Give tampons a serious try again and I bet you change your mind.

Neither one... I use the Diva Cup... it's comfortable and better for the environment.
But, if I had to pick between tampons and pads, tampons win hands down. I hate feeling like I'm wearing a diaper!

i used to swear by tampons! when i was always busy n out all night-lol- but now im in school, working and chillin at home so pads for me...it takes too much work to use a tampon..and worry about leaks n such!!! (you say tampons dont work for you- try OB..they dont have an applicator BUT the super plus ones work really well...you have to hold the tampon after you open it and pull the string tight and then left and right, like back and forth and the tampon end begins to open kinda like the shape of a bell..thats how you prevent lots of leaks!! good question!! =0)

Tampons!! They dont hurt at all, don't even feel them. Pads make you smell gross and are very messy. And just the idea of that sitting against your body for how many hours. Yuck! Tampons keep everything in where it came from. Much cleaner.

Tampons. Can't handle feeling like I'm wearing a diaper...and I'm too self concious that someone will be able to tell I'm wearing a pad.
