Pads And Tampons: What Should I Use?

Dear BeingGirl Experts,

Okay, I just started today—what pads and tampons do I get? Which do I use?

Dear Crystal,

Pads or tampons—what should you use? This is definitely a personal decision. The Always Ultra thin pads are so discreet and comfortable that you should try them. Tampax tampons give you the freedom and discretion to do whatever you'd like while you are menstruating, even swim.

So you need to analyze your lifestyle and come up with the type of product that will be best for you at any specific time. For more information on menstrual protection, check out BeingGirl's My Period section.

Good luck,

Your BeingGirl Experts
