What is better a tampon or a pad?

Answer 1

It's a matter of opinion which is better between tampons and pads - although when you're using tampons you still have to use pads, also there are other options like menstrual cups and softcups.

Pads are a lot simpler than tampons and don't have health risks like Toxic shock syndrome like tampons. Tampons are internal so more discreet but have various health risks which means they're also inconvenient as there are a lot of precautions you have to follow, including still using pads.

Answer 2

It's a matter of personal preference whether tampons, pads, or other menstrual products are better.

It's important to point out that if using tampons pads still need to be used, it's unhygienic and unsafe to use tampons throughout your entire menstrual period - tampons can't be worn before your period, with light flow, overnight, during an infection, and ideally you should alternate with pads. Some people prefer tampons as they are internal so less noticeable and make it easier to participate in more activities during menstruation, but given precautions they can be a little inconvenient.

Answer 3

In my opinion, tampons are better but when you first start your period its best to have a pad, tampons are better because you can wear it in the pool.

Answer 4

It all depends on what you need it for. You would use the tampon for swimming or any other physical activity. You would use a pad for everyday use. Although it is whatever you prefer.
