Can you use panti-liners instead or pads?

Answer 1

Kind of. Pantyliners can be used to keep you from getting discharge in your panties. I personally dont use them on my period but some girls use them when their flow is really light, or when they are wearing a tampon.

Pads for HEAVY days are your best bet.

Answer 2

The only time that you have to wear a tampon is when you go swimming or in a hot tub ect. You can wear a pad any time other than when your swimming. But you can wear a tampon when you're not swimming then you'll just have to change it more often.

Answer 3

Yes, you can use a pantiliner for menstrual flow.

Originally pantiliners were introduced to deal with light menstrual flow as they can't deal with heavier flow - if your period is regular or heavier you will need to use normal pads rather than pantiliners. Liners can also be used as back-up for tampons or softcups so that if you leak you have a little protection. Over time liners have been marketed to deal with daily discharge, this is actually unhealthy as they prevent air-flow to genitals, they should only be used for discharge on rare occasions.

Answer 4

Yes, of course - you can wear pads if you're more comfortable with them.

You do not ever have to use tampons if you don't want to, in fact considering the health risks and the fact there are much better options available there is no need for anyone to use tampons. Even for swimming you have other options such as menstrual cups, softcups, diaphragms, sponges, etc. and you can also always sit-out of swimming if you don't want to use internal menstrual products.

Answer 5

Yes, only if your period is very light. Otherwise if its light just use a pad designed for light periods.
