Tampons Or Pads?

BUT, just thought, I had to wear them after having kids. There was NO way I was going to use a tamp after that experience!

Oh my goodness....I remember those. They use to have sanitary belts for those pads, but I would also use the safety pins at times. My gosh, I forgot all about those. That kind was the very first I ever used. You know, I remember my very first time. My mom was at work that evening and I "started". I didn't know what to do so I asked my Dad. He was so wonderful. He knew to get the santitary belt and showed me how to attach the pads to it. He was so sensitive and wonderful. He told my mom when she got home and I think she was a little hurt she didn't get to share the experience with me. I'm glad it was my dad.

Now I don't have to worry about that anymore. The hysterectomy was heaven!!!
