Tampons vs pads

When I was a teenager my Mom would NOT let me use tampons. I didn't get to wear them until I had graduated high school and purchased them myself. Of course my Mom was and still is so very old fashion! We do live in the south, in the "Bible Belt", and that's how I was raised.

The second time I had my period I used tampons. I had to sing and dance in white pants and was TERRIFIED that the pad would shift and it would leak through. My older sister told me how to use them. Glad you got the correct answer about virginity and tampons. You ladies are smart!

We had to use them in High School when we took swimming as we were not permitted to miss days every month.

My daughter has been wearing tampons ever since she started her period when she was 11. She wore pads the first couple times she had her period but then she wanted to wear tampons. I was very leery of it but she just didn't like pads and she wanted to try tampons. It took her some time to get them in. I've told her not wear them at night, but I think she still does.
