Have your feelings abut your period changed over the course of your life?
Do you favor tampons, pads, or a cup?
No more periods? A relief? Not so?
I was quite shocked to read a survey of high school and college-age young women who mostly described their period as "gross" and "disgusting" and had intense fears about ever coming into contact with their menstrual blood while using the toilet or showering.

Had it at 14 and had period pains for a while beforehand that kept me off school. I will miss my period when it goes as it keeps me feeling like a 'real' woman, strangely. But I won't use tampons as am scared of the pain putting them in will cause (also would forget about them if they did go in an I would develop TSS). I tense up when anything goes in my vagina so it has to be pads which are not always handy but not a problem.
