    I prefer tampons when there is heavy to medium flow and pads when it is light. I am going to get a mooncup or divacup soon though so will use neither.

    Tampons all the way here. I hate the feeling of pads even the slim/thin ones make me feel like i am wearing a nappy. I will wear a panty liner though at the end when my flow is minimal. Apart from having my girls and wearing Maternity pads i dont remember the last time i used them for a normal AF.

    I'm a pad girl, always have been except if I'm going swimming. Just don't like sticking the tampon in, feels unnatural...

    Tampon, hardly ever use a pad - only when Im really short on tampons or very heavy.

    However, I have been waiting for this pregnacy and after it will start using a mooncup or similar. Im thinking or getting into reusable/cloth pads too.
    Aside from the enviroment and costs it surely got to be better for your body. I wish I had known about them years ago. I sometimes wonder if tampons have contributed in anyway to some of my endo etc.

    On an enviro aspect re; tampons, DH went to the sewage works when he was at school for a tour, and he said the ponds were just full of tampons. He said it was obvious to him that the shouldnt all be there, yet unfortunatley they are.

    I've used pads since i got my first AF.

    I would love to be able to use tampons but don't know how to insert them properly. Mum never allowed me to use tampons as a teenager incase my virginity would be taken (we have to be virgins when we marry - i'm islamic).

    I'm thinking of buying tampons for summer, so i'll have to keep on trying until i get it right!

    But a pad user here.

    Pads here also. When going swimming or had sports at school I would wear tampons (unless i deliberatly forgot clothes so I didnt need to participate)

    I have always found tampons to be a pain maybe i am just lazy!!!!!!!!

    I have always been a tampon user - like Kim wouldn't be caught dead with a pad on before. Now I can't use tampons. I'm sure it will just take a while to get back into the swing of things down there, but after three AF's still no luck. I hate pads

    Tampons for sure. I remember when i first used them and thought omg I should have done it earlier. It's like you don't even have AF. Pads feels so uncomfy to me and not as clean for some reason.

    Why have ppl had to change to pads after having a baby?? Ahh....I don't think I could cope!
