Dear BeingGirl Experts,

Should you wear a pad with a tampon?

Dear Karrah,

It should not be necessary as the tampon absorbs the menstrual flow internally before it leaves your body. However, you may feel more confident if you use a pantiliner with the tampon "just in case."

Good luck,

Your BeingGirl Experts

You can wear a pad and a tampon together for added protection. It may give you extra time if you can't get to the restroom right away. You can also wear a pantiliner and a tampon together.
