Same here!!! My mother and pro-tampon friends can never understand my
preference for pads. They say,
Why would you want to wear a diaper? I say, why would you want to keep
something
in that's trying to come out???
I also hate how I never quite know when to change a tampon. Wait too
long, and your underpants
get stained. Do it too soon, and it hurts coming out. To say nothing
of how they slip out somewhat when you go #2,
or sometimes for no reason at all, and then they just feel horrible...
I think PCOS has also made me more appreciative of periods in general,
and call me gross, but I'm so excited
when I get a period, i like to look at it!!! I know, I know... that's
gross. So what? :-)
