THONGS: Pros and Cons

As you probably know by now, Amii and I loooove making lists of pros and cons- for everything! It makes it easier to figure out which decision is right for you. Today my list of Pros and Cons is about.. *gulp* THONGS.  If you're wondering whether they're for you, here are some things you might want to take into consideration.

PROS

-No "VPL"
-You only have a small wedgie instead of a big one, if you're wedgie-prone with other underwear!
-Some girls forget they're there.
-They're small and don't take up much space.
-Lots of girls like to feel like they're wearing "big girl panties"

CONS

-Some parents don't approve, so if you're young, you might have to check with your mom first.

-Some girls find thongs uncomfortable.

-Hygiene is more of a concern when you're wearing a thong. (Trying not to go into TMI, here!)

-It's harder to wear a thong when you're on your period.
- You need to make sure your pants aren't too low rise when you have thongs on. Otherwise you might have the infamous "whale tail" peeking out from over your jeans.

What are your thoughts? Do you love em or hate em?

Pros and Cons of Pads!!

Hey girls, I know I just did a post about the Pro's and Con's of Tampons, BUT I almost forgot to do a post on the pro's and con's of pads so here goes:

Pro's of Pads:
1. They don't need to go inside your body
2. They are more comfortable to sleep in
3. They're easier to change so you can easily see when you need to change them
4. They're simple and easy to put on
5. They stick to your panties so they don't move around too much
6. You can be sure you have the right size and absorbancy before you leave the store based on your body
7. They may have wings (depending if you buy them with wings) so they protect your panties
8. You don't have to worry about Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) as you would with a tampon
9. It doesn't matter if your cervix is tipped
10. They work with all body types :)

Con's of pads:
1. They sometimes smell a little funky, even if they are fragrance free
2. It's uncomfortable to run and exercise
3. You can feel like your bleeding and will worry if you are going to bleed out
4. Can't wear thongs if you're a thong kind of girl
5. They're bulky
6. You can't swim in them
7. They're a bear to dispose, and you can't flush them
8. You may get VPL
9. They take up a lot of space if you throw them in your bag
10. And they aren't that great for sports and may move and you could bleed out

And like I said before, e-mail us with your pro's and con's at girltalktime@yahoo.com and let us know what your pro's and con's are!

Pros and Cons of Tampons!!

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.com

Pros and cons for pads coming soon!
