I don't trust sticking a wad of cotton up there, only to have it like expand and asborb blood. That's gross. I would rather have blood and tissue pour out of me in gallons and neatly land in the seat of my underwear on a piece of material-looking glue sticking thingie. Besides, tampons cause toxic shock syndrome.

A tampon is disposable plug of cotton that is designed to be inserted into a woman's vagina during her menstrual period to absorb the flow of blood.
The use of these devices has caused serious health related issues, such as infection and even death in rare cases (see Toxic shock syndrome). In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates tampons as medical devices.
Follow the directions on the box and change tampons often.

Tampons are the best, sure there is a RISK of getting toxic shock syndrome, but that's really rare. And you can't even feel them, if you can feel them, it's in wrong. And you can wear whatever you want with them in, because it won't be buldging out of your pants.
Pads, if you like wearing diapers, go ahead! They are gross and they limit to what you can wear. And obviously, you can feel them.
You can get them at your local drug store.

you stick it up there with the string hanging out of you, then it absorbs the blood, then after it gets full you pull it out of you. this is probably something that you should be asking your mom or w/e anyway $3-$7
