I use both, but find pads gross!! So i use tampons with thin liners.
I HATE HATE HATE that time of month!!!!

I use tampons mainly, but pads at night.. :)

tampos all the way all the time....pads are messy

Pads at night, but only because I'm worried about all the warnings to not sleep in tampons and I'm afraid they'll leak.

There are also times where I just can't use a tampon. No idea why, just hurts. Mostly when it's at the end of my cycle and the flow is almost nil.

I used to use both, but since my hysterectomy a couple years ago I am now free of all that mess. Thank goodness!!!! :thumbup:

I did forget to mention that I still use a panti-liner once in awhile. Once in a while if I have to "go" real bad, like when I get off the bus, I will tinkle a little so I wear panti-liners just in case. :(

I have been cursed (and I really think cursed is the word!!!) that I have to use both at the same time.

:mad: I am so heavy that I can't just use a tampon, or a pad!:mad:

It is such a PITA!!

Pre-hysterectomy, I used tampons all the time (except after childbirth cause as Amber said, last thing I wanted then was to be "putting something back in!). I couldn't stand wearing pads (when I first started, after childbirth) - felt too much like a diaper and I was potty trained out of those things when I was TWO!!! Of course, I'm getting older (okay, so not THAT old - 43 in a few days) but....I hope like hell my bladder holds up and I don't have to "depend" on Depends later in life :p :p

I used to pretty much just use tampons
but now for some reason I've been getting TERRIBLE CRAMPS
that leave me crying on the floor

and as you all know tampons are not good for cramps!


ew and I know how irratating it is to use both
that's how I used to be
then I was light
and now
I have REALLY heavy periods again
