Now, we all have the good days and the bad days during our period and sometimes its great to vent about the pros and cons of the kinds of products we use to control it... So, Alli and I have come together and made a pros and cons list just for you- all about tampons!
Tampon Pros:
1. You can swim with them :) (A definite plus!)
2. They are easier to store or throw in your bag
3. You don't get a visible pad or panty line (VPL)
4. You can't feel them if you put them in right
5. You can flush them away in the toilet, making disposal more discrete :)
6. They are smaller and don't take up as much room as a pad
7. You can (at times) forget you even have one in
8. They are more comfortable
9. No one else can hear the crinkle of the wrapper or the peeling sound like a pad, so a more discrete way of changing them if you're in public
10.They catch everything a pad would and its all kept inside until you change your tampon, so less mess than a pad
Tampon Cons:
1. They are harder to know when to change
2. They may cause you to bleed out and through your clothes if you can't go and change it soon enough
3. Sleeping in with a tampon in without having to get up is out of the question
4. Not very eco-friendly
5. They aren't natural for your body
6. They go inside you
7. If your cervix tips they become harder to insert properly
8. Tampons often make cramps worse.
9. Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) can happen if they are left in too long
10. Some people find them uncomfortable to wear
And for all you girls out there reading this, e-mail us your pro's and con's lists at girltalktime@yahoo.comand let us know what you think!
Pros and cons for pads coming soon!
Love,

Well you can't actually flush them because it will clog the toilet and lead to embarassment. So it's actually more of a con...
