i prefer tampons but would reccommend for your first couple periods to use pad. tampons can be used for up to 8 hrs. and it is ok to sleep with one in and yes they do cause tss but it says right on the box of tampons that tss is very rare. you cant get any other diseases from tampons and they are more comfortable than pads. but like i said for your first couple periods i would use pads or they do make slim tampons which are more comfortable than regular tampons.

Don't use tampons for your first period, use a heavy pad. If you are going swimming or going to do something where you are active and can't concentrate on making sure you're not bleeding, wear a tampon.

Use a tampon and wear a pad as-well because the tampon will leak at one unexpected point and you will need to change your tampon and pad once again. This way your clothes will be safe!

How old are you? How heavy is your flow? Its really up to you. Some women with really heavy flow use both. Tampons are not so cumbersum and you stay drier but anything you put up there, if its not clean, could cause an infection. If you are not moist enough, it could cause an irritation. Pads are non-invasive and will never give you an infection but you could encounter leakage. Depends on your personal preference

I'd say if your staying at home pads, because there more comfortable. But if your going out maybe tampons.

I like tampons...the pads are a pain for me. They never stay put and they are messy and nasty. If you are comfortable using tampons then use them. If you have never used them before give them a try, once you get the hang of it its really easy!!!

I used to use pads, because i heard that tampons can give you cancers and stuff. But i have come to realize that pads are unsanitary and gross. You get blood all over you and it feels like you are wearing a diaper.
Wear tampons, just make sure you change them on time so you dont leak! Or you can use a tampon with a thin panty liner to be on the safe side :)

If this is you're first period I'd start with pads before you get used to it and t hen use tampons.
