My mom didn't believe in tampons so from 12 - 17, I used pads. Most of the time, doubling up since my flows were so heavy. Moved out of the house and got me a box of tampons and haven't looked back since!

When I did have periods, I wanted to use tampons so badly, but my uterus was tipped slightly backward and I couldn't use them. I hated those darn pads, plus the fact my periods were heavy and I always had bad cramps. Now, since the hysterectomy all I need is my Premarin. I take the very lowest dose to prevent the hot flashes and night sweats. So becareful what you pray for....LOL. Believe me...those SUCK!!!
