To my knowledge all plain communites with the exception of the strict Schwartzentruber sect of the Amish allow the use of tampons and pads.
They use old bed sheets or dish towls torn up. It is agaisnt thier belief to buy any type of tampons.
They can, and it's a smart idea to wear tampons AND pads.
There's no reason why they wouldn't. Presumably the rate at which Chassidic women use tampons v. pads is similar to the general American populace.
they take sanitary napkins or tampons with them, and use sanitary wipes to keep themselves clean in a forward environment.
nope, only tampons if left for a really long time
They are tampons and they block the blood from getting everywhere when there period comes.
They're CLEANER - wearing a pad is like wearing a diaper! * Tampons are not cleaner, the opposite is true, and only disposable pads feel like diapers. also you can get TSS from tampons which obviously isnt healthy :P
there was no such thing as a tampon back then. that is how the saying "got ya rags" came about
Women wear menstrual pads during menstruation, the purpose of these is to collect menstrual flow as it leaves the body in order to prevent it getting onto clothing. Some women will use pads before their period starts to be ready, and even when using tampons they still have to alternate with pads.
Women who wear tampons should change them often and use different brands and types of pads and tampons. If a woman really prefers tampons, experts recommend using the lowest possible absorbency product
I think Amish people are more modern to wear a pad instead of a rag. So I think they use pads not rags. Just my opinion.
