I can't use tampons - for some reason, they always burn and sting (weird, I know, right?). Plus, I usually bleed too much, and would end up changing it alllll the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-71455 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:59:34 +0000 loveisstrange 71455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tampons.

I'm always scared they won't work,, so even if I did wear one I'd wear a panty liner too. So I just gave up and only do pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-70276 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:46:06 +0000 daniellemybelle 70276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was tampons 100% pretty much from the beginning. It seemed like what the "cool girls" did. But lately my periods have been light because of my BCP, so I just use a sturdy pantiliner. It makes my cramps less intense, and I feel like its healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-70263 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:28:02 +0000 DillonLion 70263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tampons.

I've had a procedure done where I was required to wear a pad for 2 days..... urgh. Lets just say I'm not looking forward to post partum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-70100 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:51:54 +0000 mamabolt 70100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tampon girl from almost day one - definitely started using them the first time I had my period. I hate the feeling of wearing a pad. But now I'm also a diva cup girl, even better than tampons IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-70089 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:14:54 +0000 looch 70089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used tampons almost exclusively, then I gave birth. I wasn't able to use tampons for about a year, they never felt right. Now I am back to normal, finally, and back to my tampons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-69903 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:03:19 +0000 tequiero21 69903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i prefer pads. i usually bleed way too much for tampons. it's gross taking it out. tmi lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-69851 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:47:41 +0000 sulli301 69851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-69849 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:47:11 +0000 Rubies 69849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pads.

If I just use a tampon I have to change it every half hour it seems like the first couple days. Plus I get so paranoid about bleeding through my undies and into my clothes and someone seeing. With both I don't worry about it as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-69626 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:51:54 +0000 chopsuey 69626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pads!

Sorry, that sounds horrible, but also hysterical.</p> <p>When my friend was a teenager (and they gave out free tampons/pads in school) she shoved a tampon in her to see how it would feel (did not have her period) and she couldn't get it out so her Mom had to help her pull it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-69474 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:08:11 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 69474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be all about maxi pads because I had a really bad experience with tampons when I was a teenager. My sister was trying to tell me how to use them and somehow I ended up with 2 tampons in me and one with the cardboard still on! Don't ask me how it happened, I have no idea. I was like 14 at the time.</p> <p>Now, I love tampons! Its so much cleaner feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-maxi-pads-or-tampons-girl#post-69470 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:07:33 +0000 autumnlove 69470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tampons the way!

I can't imagine going back to maxi pads. </p>
