As for this, this is true mostly if you leave the tampon in too long (more then 6 hours) or if it's in to long for the flow you're having. Then yes bacteria can build up.

PrairieMom replied: I use pads. Since I had Ben, Tampons are just uncomfortable to wear.

3xsthefun replied: Both, I use mostly pads though only because my periods last almost 5-7 days.

lesliesmom replied: I usually use both. Tampons for sure and on the first or second day I usually back that up with an ultra thin pad. After that I back it up with a liner (except at night)

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Tampons. I didn't start using them until I was in my early 20's because I was afraid of them. I finally broke down because the pads were irritating my skin, and now I hate using pads. I usually have to use them at the end of my period and I hate it.

MoonMama replied: Tampons, mine only last 2-3 days.

Nina J replied: I said both. I use tampons more often than pads, but sometimes I'm to lazy and I just can't be bothered with tampons

luvbug00 replied: can't bring myself to use tampons. too scared for some odd reason

Boo&BugsMom replied: Tampons during the day, pads at night while I sleep. Doctors have always told me it's good to alternate them if you use tampons.
