i prefer pads

Pads

I actually prefer thinx period panties or a menstrual up over tampons and pads because pads tend to stick to my pubes and are terrible to rip off and tampons can actually increase the risk of TSS (toxic shock syndrome) by being left in your vagina for too long allowing bacteria to grow and they can also stick to the vaginal walls especially when your blood flow is light and can cause tiny abrasions when removed.

Edit

I use both, at first I used pads all the time now I use tampons too

i only use tampons is if i (despite my best efforts) have to ride my bike while on my period. pads are better in every other situation

Started with pads then mover to tampons and now depending how I'm feeling I use pads and tampons.

Does anyone here use period panties or the Diva Cup?

Pads

Mostly tampons for swimming and riding my bike. Pads are better for being comfy though

Agree with that tampons better when swimming and stuff

I don’t use either yet, probably use pads when I need to
