| I prefer pads, mainly because I have such a heavy flow. And I heard that some tampons can give you some type os infection or disease of somesort. |

| Tampons, my periods only last 3 days anyway. |

Tampons....I didn't use them till I was late in my teens though...because of the fear of them.....Now I can't see how I ever wore pads and I definantly don't miss the sticky part of the pads attacking themselves to my body hair and making me sometimes scream outloud...  |

 Umm I'm a both girl. Just depends, usually when I'm home though, I stick with pads, or at night. When I go out, tampons.
As for this, this is true mostly if you leave the tampon in too long (more then 6 hours) or if it's in to long for the flow you're having. Then yes bacteria can build up. Here's a link for more info on it. http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/toxic_shock.html |

| I use pads. Since I had Ben, Tampons are just uncomfortable to wear. |

| Both, I use mostly pads though only because my periods last almost 5-7 days. |

| I usually use both. Tampons for sure and on the first or second day I usually back that up with an ultra thin pad. After that I back it up with a liner (except at night) |

| Tampons. I didn't start using them until I was in my early 20's because I was afraid of them. I finally broke down because the pads were irritating my skin, and now I hate using pads. I usually have to use them at the end of my period and I hate it. |

| Tampons during the day, pads at night. |

| Tampons, mine only last 2-3 days. |

I said both. I use tampons more often than pads, but sometimes I'm to lazy and I just can't be bothered with tampons  |

| can't bring myself to use tampons. too scared for some odd reason |

| Tampons during the day, pads at night while I sleep. Doctors have always told me it's good to alternate them if you use tampons. |

Me too  however, over the past couple of years it seems to be getting lighter and shorter - one of the few benefits of getting OLD!!! |
