First off, don’t worry or be embarrassed about wearing pads. It is totally fine to wear pads and not tampons. Granted tampons do make a lot of activities easier such as, sports, swimming and dancing. But if you feel like you aren’t ready to wear tampons yet, than that’s okay.

Most girls start off with wearing pads and when they feel ready or they must for some reason wear a tampon they then switch over to tampons. Some girls wear pads for their first year of their period. Some girls just for the first week. It all depends on what one feels is right for them.

If you feel embarrassed about wearing pads and you really do want to wear tampons then you should just try out tampons. If you don’t know how to insert a tampon ask someone who you trust that can help you or refer to our post “ How to Insert a Tampon”.

Some people wear pads because they are scared to use tampons and they just are not ready. That is totally okay, you just need to know that tampons are nothing to be scared of. You do not need to be embarrassed about it. Every one is different. Also every one’s cycles are different. For some people pads just work better and for some tampons just work better.

One thing to keep in mind is that if other girls are making fun of you for not wearing tampons and still wearing pads, then you should just not pay attention to them and don’t go into agreement with them. Your period and what you wear doing your period is a very personal thing. And no one should make fun of you for it. Just keep your head up and be strong!
