You might wonder should I use reusable pads or disposable pads? You might wonder what the advantages and disadvantages are of both. Well I will give you some more info about both and then you can choose which one sounds best for your lifestyle and needs.

Reusable pads are pads that are made out of cloth that can be washed and used again. Reusable pads come in all different colors of cloth and can actually look very cute. If having cute pads is important to you then reusable pads are definitely something that you would want to check out.

Reusable pads are great if you want to be more economical. If you want to cut down on the yearly waste and the use of plastic and other synthetic materials, using reusable cloths pads is something that will help. Using reusable cloth pads will also cut your monthly expenses. Just think about the amount of money you spend on disposable pads while on your period, especially if you have a heavy flow.

Reusable pads are also great for very sensitive skin. Cloth pads don’t give you the skin orations that can occur from disposable synthetic materials. Cloth pads are also a lot more comfortable since they don’t give you that sweaty feeling that disposable pads do.

On the other hand, you might prefer disposable pads because it’s just more convenient. Also you don’t have to wash disposable pads, you can just throw them away.

Disposable pads are a lot easier to buy than cloth pads are. Cloth pads can only be purchased at special markets and from specific people. Disposable pads can be bought at almost every grocery store and gas station.

Choosing reusable or disposable pads just depends on what issues are important to you and what you are looking for when buying menstrual protection products.

When you are on your period you can definitely use a tampon and a pantiliner at the same time to ensure extra protection. You can also wear a tampon and a pad together at the same time while on your period. You would use a pad and tampon together if your flow is really heavy or if you just want to be very, very protected. There would never be a scenario where you would have to use a pad, tampon and pantyliner at the same time. Just think about it…does it make sense to wear a pantyliner, tampon and a pad at the same time? No it doesn’t. You have to choose a pad or a pantyliner and if you need then you can wear a tampon with whichever one you choose to wear. Sometimes you might prefer to wear a tampon with a pantyliner or sometimes you might want to wear a pad along with your tampon. It just depends on what you feel like and how much protection you want.

I recommend using a tampon and pantyliner at the same time, since using these two together does increase your protection against blood stains. If you plan on sleeping with a tampon it would be best to wear a pad also, since sometimes during the night your flow of blood could suddenly increase. Also wearing a tampon to sleep means that the tampon is left to do all the work of absorbing blood for about 6 hours, having a pad there is just a good thing in case the tampon fills up after 5 hours. Have you ever woken up with your underwear and sheets stained? Chances are that you most likely have. In order to prevent those totally irritating mornings where you wake up with blood everywhere, just wear a tampon and a pad for extra protection.
