Which is better tampons or pads?

The choice as to whether tampons or pads are better is a personal one. Some people find tampons more convenient, and some prefer pads.

Both can be used throughout the period.

Do you where tampons or pads when your doing long activities?

You have more options than tampons and pads, you can use menstrual cups and softcups which can be worn for up to 12 hours (tampons and pads need to be changed after 4-6 hours or sooner if full), also they don't leak so more convenient than tampons or pads. If using tampons and pads you may want to use both so that the pads can act as back-up if your tampon leaks before you can get to the bathroom. Otherwise use as you would normally and just make sure to change often so it doesn't leak.

No, not all girls have to wear tampons and in fact there's little reason to use tampons when there are other options like pads or menstrual cups available. Girls often use tampons because they prefer them to pads and may not know that options like cups exist and can be much better than tampons. Some people cannot use menstrual cups so will use tampons when they need internal menstrual products.


What do tampons do differently than pads?

Pads are absorbent material that sit in the underwear to catch and absorb menstrual flow as it leaves the vagina during menstruation. Tampons are absorbent material that are inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual flow before it leaves the body during menstruation. Tampons are internal so they can allow women to be more active, such as swimming, but they can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome.
