In my opinion I would say no
Pads.
Yes, tampons and pads are FSA (Flexible Spending Account) eligible for purchase.
No, pads and tampons do not contain chemicals that can potentially increase menstrual bleeding.
No, tampons and pads (also other menstrual products) are only needed on your period.Once your period is over you no longer use tampons or pads, in fact as your period comes to an end you need to stop using tampons because tampons cannot be used with light flow or spotting. It is a good idea to carry tampons and pads with you ready for when your next period starts, if you're young menstrual cycles can be irregular so your periods can start suddenly without warning.

Menstrual cups are also more convenient than tampons or pads as they can be worn for up to 12 hours with any flow and at any time without needing to alternate with pads as you would with tampons, menstrual cups also don't leak like tampons or pads. Look into all your options to see what you think will work for you.
Answers.com does not allow users to post photos, if you want to know what pads and tampons look like search via Google. Tampons and pads don't look alike, one is external and flat whereas the other is normally cylindrical and internal, they look and work differently.
I love "Always Infinity" for a pad, and my favorite tampon is "Tampax Pearl". I think I like pads better, they are overall more comfortable. They don't work as well though.
You Dont Have To Wear A Pad If you arent on your Period. But it is always good to carry pads or tampons with you in your bag
The choice as to whether tampons or pads are better is a personal one. Some people find tampons more convenient, and some prefer pads. There is no health reason to use either unless you have previously had toxic shock, or are in a situation where hand washing or other hygiene aspects are difficult, in which case pads would be preferable. Both can be used throughout the period.
hahaha idiot
Besides tampons there are also pads and cups.There are various different types of tampons, pads, and cups which are all a little different. Tampons for example can be vastly different, you may not be comfortable with conventional tampons but soft tampons or menstrual sponges are very different so may work better for you.There are also different types of cups, menstrual cups are a bell-shaped cup which have advantages such as the fact they don't leak like other options, but there are also diaphragms and softcups which are dome shaped and sit higher in the vagina so allow mess-free sex on your period.
