HATE pads. But again (sorry if this is simply too much information) with the IUD sometimes I simply can't make it through the night in a pad because I am just too heavy, especially at the beginning of my period. Then, I break my rule and wear normal underwear (*gasp*) and have to wear both a pad and a tampon to bed. So gross. Otherwise, I wear a tampon 95% of the time, day or night. I just find it so much more hygenic and clean. I hate using pads and just find that not having to see the mess is so much more appealing to me. Truthfully, it's personal choice which is why (I guess) the aisle looks the way it does, LOL.

Man, I miss the pill. I went off of it because I wanted to get away from the hormones, but I had almost no period while I was on it. The IUD is a KILLER!!!
