I've used both in the past but currently pads because my period often isn't heavy enough to warrant tampons and I read that can increase risk of TSS.
I have been judged and shamed by a former boyfriend and several female friends for using pads instead of tampons. Has anyone else had that experience? One female friend told me: "Pads are gross and I would NEVER use them!!!" I say each to their own
Has anyone else been judged for using pads?
I heard that quite a few millennial women (I'm older) like the Diva cup but that's not something I want to try for myself.
